Because white people invented the word as a derogatory term and some black people have reclaimed it for their own use as a term of endearment or solidarity. If a white person uses it, it hearkens back to it's original meaning.

A better question would be why are you so pressed that it's not socially acceptable for you to use it? In what situation would you, a white person, ever need or want to say it? Why then is it such an issue for you?
