I personally think the phrase has become less of an insult in some situations.
White people say it, black people say it, asians say it, indians say it, basically a lot of people of all sorts of ethnciities say it.
I can understand the meaning behind this particular thread's creation but . . .
if someone takes offense to phrases such as b*tch, bastard, nigga, ******, faggot, jap, ***, then they should just say it. Especially since for the most part, when these terms are use on this forum, few people seem to take an offense to it.

Part 1: The word we're discussing does not make MusicBanter any less safe, but it does make it less relaxing. I do not personally take offense to the word, but then again, I'm not black. And it doesn't matter who says it. It doesn't change the meaning or context behind the word.
Part 2: Again, I don't care who doesn't take offense to it, if someone does even if they aren't a member, it becomes a concern.
