Furthermore, blacks sometimes use the n-word among themselves to communicate a shared "poor black experience" (sometimes sarcastically). So it is inappropriate for a white to use it in that manner. It would be the same if whites used the word "cracker" among themselves to communicate a shared "poor white experience"...it would be inappropriate/offensive for a black to use it in that manner.
