1. Sure.
All thats needed for redemption is an admittance of wrong doing, and a sincere effort to change. half assed attempts, and lip service don't cut it. Real change must come from the heart, same as forgiveness.

2. Everyone's racist to some degree

Love the sinner, hate the sin.

Oh, and on edit: it depends on the context the word is used in, and nonviolent intentions all around.
