Skyofblue are you trying to engage in "alternative facts"? It's not going to work. This woman used the N-word publicly to refer to a black woman complaining about racial discrimination. There is no excuse for it. Elgie also had a prior history of inappropriate behaviour. This woman likely was a lifelong racist who in her old age thought she could continue the same behaviour that would have been common in the 1950's without having the good sense to know that the 21st century would catch up and deal with her.
