He admitted that he said it (https://www.businessinsider.com/papa-johns-founder-apologize...) and years later he said that not saying it anymore was one the goals he'd been working on (https://www.businessinsider.com/papa-johns-ceo-2-years-remov...)

The claim trying to be argued here was the he hated black people and your additional sources still do not back that up. The second article seems to instead provide evidence against that claim. In reality this event happened during peak wokenness where saying a slur no matter the context made you a bad person deserving of being cancelled.

In which context is it okay to say the n word?

When you are racist pos and want everyone to know.

Anytime it is not being used as an insult or used to degrade a person or group of people.

The n word is a staple of activities by members of a protected class.

Feel free to tell them that they're wrong.

Well, OK, but the original post was trying to justify Papa John saying it.
