That makes a bit more sense if that's a culture thing, but how do you define someone who belong in that culture? Is a black person born from a very wealthy European family still allowed to say it, even though he might have nothing to do with the culture? It just seems weird to me how you clearly define this, I mean even clearly defining what a black person is, is pretty much impossible.
The point is it isn't clearly defined. It's situational. Not all black people will or should say it, and some white people feel comfortable saying it and use it in situations where it doesn't offend anyone. There is no "correct" race, skin tone, culture, etc where it's always OK. There's just situations where it's OK for some people. I'm sure if you know it's OK then you know it's OK, and that's the only time it's OK. If you're wondering if it's appropriate, it probably isn't.
