You've hit the nail on the head here
It's the same with the N word. Although I am against the use of it by anyone, the argument from white people saying black people shouldn't be allowed to say it is simply "we're not allowed to say it so why should they be!!!"
At the end of the day black people call each other chocolate quite often in a joking way - heck, I even remember Dawn French telling a black contestant on Jesus Christ Superstar search that he had a "chocolatey voice" in a joking way and no one cared. Same with Sharon Osbourne telling someone that on The X Factor. Quite frankly white people seem to be more offended by it then black people. Even the people in this thread complaining about her comments are white members.
