Why is it okay for a black person to use the n-word, but white people can't?
<|assistant|>
It is widely considered to be a racial slur and a symbol of racism and oppression against African Americans, who have had to endure many years of oppression and degrading treatment due to the word. White people are not seen as having undergone the same level of mistreatment and unfair disadvantage that black people have had to suffer, so it is not as socially acceptable for them to use the word.
