It doesn't make sense to you because you are misinterpreting the situation.
It is not colour which is important, it is majority or minority which counts.
You obviously live in and are familiar with a society where white is the large majority colour: this behoves whites to take care what language they use about minority colours (races).
If you lived in a society where you were in a small minority you would find any sort of derogatory language from the majority to be much more unsettling, even frightening. Try it some day,when you are older.

older and know what they're talking about!

why do i need to be older to know that what you're saying makes no sense?? the word shouldn't be used by anyone, black or white.
