I don't think it's realistic to expect anyone to forget that this language exists. That alone, however, does not condone usage. I think those are two very different issues.
In the situations above (mall, movies, school, etc.), do you see White people using this language towards Blacks with a positive outcome? I never have. That is why I don't understand the need or desire to continue trying.
