If 'the blacks' have removed power from the n-word, then why can the hosts still not say it? Is it because words do still hold powerful meaning and it's the context that gives it that meaning? And that there is still no context in which the word Nazi can be reclaimed in the same way racial slurs have been?

Nazis were clearly the victim of an anti-Nazi agenda.

Also the way he says the blacks at 0:12 is... interesting...

Nazis are the real victims in all of this, clearly.
