Why can't white people call black people the n word

So on facebook

see this on someones wall
Cathal Coghlan
Controversial status time merrr. If I call a black guy, who knows I'm not a racist, a ******, will he get offended? If so, why? Had I been black and calling him a ******, there would be no offence caused. So presumably the only racism occurring is on the behalf of the black guy?

Adham Khan well obviously it depends on if you're mates with this guy or not, you wouldn't call some random black guy a ****** if you could avoid doing so

Cathal Coghlan why not adham? it doesn't make a difference if we're mates or not, if he knows im not being racist when using the word then it's no different than if a black guy said it to him. If he chooses to be offended then, ironically, he's the racist

Adham Khan agree with ben here, by calling a black person a ******, you're subjecting him to racism as '******' is, as you know, used as a derogatory term by non - black people towards black people. If anything, it should not be used at all to avoid any confusion or tolerence of it

Cathal Coghlan If im not a racist and they know it then i am not subjecting him to racism by calling him a ******. Now if it's not a derogatory term if it's said from a black guy to another black guy with no racist intent then there should be no offence caused by a white guy calling a black guy a ****** if there is no racist intent. If offence is caused, then the black guy is a racist.

I dislike the phrase "successful black man" for it's older meaning. Look into what some of the great original SBM initiated when Europeans appeared in search of gold

Also white people can't call black people the n word simply because it's fucking uncivilised (based on the way history unfolded), that's the only answer you need

EDIT: Also, use your fucking brain (and pass the message on to your dumb friends). Racism is about elevating one race above another (or more popularly, one race below another). How on earth can two people within the same race passionately forge this into conflict.

It's less about the word and more about the intonation behind the word. Enough people have used ****** in a negative way for it to have negative connotations.

I don't get why some people have a problem with not being able to say it. They aren't missing out on anything.

But, is it racist for white on white niqqa calling?

Or just middle class?
