What's the real reason why, whites believing it's a double standard when using the dread N-word?

During "American Apartheid" whites have freely used the dreaded 'n-word' without reprisal from the African American community. Plus, our government supported their bigotry.

However, whites are no longer receiving the same gratification when using the word to dehumanization, denigrating a devaluing a person of African lineage in America. In the past, whites did not hesitated to physically and verbally assault an African American while using the 'N-word.' It was like "Hey you n***er, get away from here." But, now it's like "Hey you n***er!" They will ended up with a pair Nikes up their rectums.

So, what's the real reason why whites calling "n-word" a double standard?

Update:

Attention white people. So, what are the reasons why? I know it might be hard for you people. But, at least try. LOL

Update 2:

LOL @ the homie Pinky

Update 3:

Hey, Slippery

    yeah, you hit it on the nose. You taken a piece of vocabulary from them that they used and abused and they just want it back. And you are right, they can say it, but doesnt mean they will like the outcome of what happens.

    Blacks use the N word so why cant whites. Everyone i know uses the N word i see no problem with it. Who really gives a @hit at the end of the day its just a word that both races use.

    huh? all I read was about how you are a victimized black boy living in america. what is the question again? double standard what? I don't get it.

    lets take it a step further! if you want to change the meaning of the word so blacks can use it then don't "double standard" and cry that other races use it too. soooo...how is that victimized mentality going for you?

    I think that it's because some member of the african american community use the word among themselves so some 'whites' might interpret that as an ok to use it with them too.

    I'm not entirely sure but personally I never use that word.

    Sweetie it's this simple, either your race should ONLY say it in front of your race or other races will as well.

    If blacks go around saying "whats up my niqqa?!" or "where dat niqqa at?" like it's nothing in front of other races, then don't be surprised if other races say it too.

    If your race wants that word to only be used by the black race, then only say it in front of the black race and not in front of non-blacks.

    Thumb me up if you agree to the nuclear bombing of the USA. Sea based ICBMs to take out all major American cities first then a mainland invasion to sweep it all up.
