Why is it it OK to use the "N" word if you are Black?

Advertisements [?]

I am currently in a debate on another forum with a dude who seems to think that if Blacks can call each other "nigger" then why can't whites use the word. He's also asking why Gay's can use the term "Faggot" towards each other when it's inappropriate for non-Gays to use the word.

I admit I am having a hard time coming up with an answer that will spank him a bit so I thought I'd come back home and ask my brilliant DU Brothers and Sisters to give me a hand in this....
