Last word I'll have on subject of context being important anyway.
Here's Rush Hour. In this scene, Jackie Chan has seen Chris Tucker - a black man - use the phrase repeatedly to other black people, but he's foreign and has no context for the meaning other than it's a form of greeting.
Hence, when left alone in a bar, he does this.
Now, that's a non-black person using the word in a comedy, for comic effect to highlight the importance of context.
Should Rush Hour be removed from every streaming service and basically shamed and erased from history as a result? Or are we sensible enough to understand - just like Blazing Saddles, just like Fawlty Towers - that the underlying context for the joke means the creators and the scenes themselves understand and respect the history and impact of the word and are simply making social commentary on it for the purpose of entertainment.
With the statues, it's a similar thing where you have to understand the context of why they exist. As GOT says, you have to draw a line somewhere, otherwise everything is offensive or nothing is offensive. To highlight context isn't to be against the aims of BLM - it's more to say you have to have a clearly defined aim. Pulling down statues and erasing TV shows, in my eyes, does absolutely nothing to advance the cause, which is supposed to be equality. In many ways it's picking the lowest hanging fruit.
