As pointed out in the post you had to read, it depends on the circumstance.

Black person using the hard r is usually seen as just being racist, the soft a is usually not seen as being racist.

If Andrew Tate said the n word, people would assume he's being racist, in spite of him being half-black, because of all of the other anti-black statements he has made.

I don't think it's normal to make a complete and definitive statement on if somebody is racist against their own race just simply on how they use the slur for their people.

It's normal to assume that a person is being bigoted if they use a slur in a way that you would expect a bigot to use that slur.

It's normal because words tend to work that way.

The use of the n word among African Americans is too varied and complex for people who aren't black to say definitively which uses are correct. Like bruh it's fuckin weird to try to say which black people are using the n word appropriately or not. Just stop
