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.

No because I as a white person can't also use nigga as a term of endearment to a fellow black person as its automaticity racist. Meanwhile no one gives a shit when black people call white people honky or crackers..
It's just reversed racism and is the exact same thing as a white guy calling a black person the n word in a hateful way.
Once you start using a word in a non racial,way, you can't then rightfully complain if others use it in a non racial way..
