I'm wondering if the statement above reflects the opinion of the person who wrote the Facebook tweet or if there is actually a race-specific policy about this on campus.
This is the general attitude of people of color with regard to white people using the word. "They" have "taken" a word from "us" that "we" used to exercise power over "them". At least that's how it has always been portrayed to me when that question has come up. I can assure you there is no race-specific policy pertaining to it. That would be a legit cluster-frick.

I'm not sure why it actually matters. The long and short of it... don't be a fricking racist. If a black person calls another black person a derogatory word for a black person... is it really even racist?
You can call your friend dipshit without meaning anything derogatory by it... but call a random drunk at a bar a dipshit and you've potentially got a fight on your hands...
No official policy needed... just a little common sense.

But if we came up with the word we should be able to use it - just saying.
Joking of course, but it is pretty stupid if the person in question did say it.
I still feel like that word only carries the power it does because people allow it to do so. It’s just a damn word.
Had a black psych professor that called out all the black students in class for being hypocrites about that word. Was interesting to say the least but she brought up good points. Still think every white person in the class was like, “Um, nah - still not gonna say it.”
