A Politically Incorrect Halloween Story

My politically-incorrect, but totally innocent Halloween story:
I was about 4 or 5 years old, and it was the Halloween season, so I was drawing and coloring a Halloween picture. I had drawn a ghost, a white amorphous shape with two black eyes. My Daddy was nearby, reading the paper. I asked him, "Daddy, what's the difference between a ghost and a *?" I had drawn a ghost, and now I wanted to draw a *.
Daddy didn't even look up from his paper. He said, "Spooks are black."
OK. Now I know what to do. I drew a black amorphous shape with two white eyes, and that was my *.
I was several years into adulthood before I understood what my Daddy had meant.

Jose.
haven't heard that word for a while.
Heard it (what movie was it?) but it was used to describe CIA.
Question. If a black dude joined CIA calling him "*" would that be offensive in what way?
So is that a racist term?
Yes, it's bad JuJu.[:D]
