Thanks to the commenter who reminded me that it's not bad to be reminded that the term is only a pejorative because conservative racists made it so.

Oh, I take it incredibly seriously, as indicated by how wistfully nonchalant my suggestions are.

Almost as if a fascist political party funded by the data & power barons that puppet the species has weaponized an originally Black American term to be incendiary against any topic they feel like — and there's fuck & all any of us can do about it. 😅

So, jokes it is. Gallows humor wins out sometimes, right? 🤷🏼‍♂️ Why, what you got on that plan?
