While the racially charged term was likely appropriate in the source material, it severely restricts the domain of application of the quote, especially but not exclusively when removed from context.
Yeah, I'd rather have a few more lines of context to get why that's a rationality quote. I can take or leave the n-word; I'm assuming that particular spelling has the connotation that it is spoken between people with similar skin-melanin levels.
