Why is it acceptable to be used by black people? As they reclaimed the word that was used to oppress them, divesting it of its meaning and power.

Exactly, and this made sense for a fair while.
Then white people were not allowed to use it. I often wonder if this is because it is part of black culture that we cannot appropriate (why not other parts) or because when white people use it it reverts to its original meaning, sure this means that it has now regained its original meaning an power?
Among African Americans it's a term of familiarity and endearment as long as it's used by another African American. It just is.
My grandmother didn't know any other word other than "colored" in South St Louis USA.

An inevitable update from this story:
He’s gone full Chris Williamson / David Millar
His tweet yesterday is blaming mysterious forces (aka Jews) for the career meltdown

Seems to be quite a broadly used word. Some black people seem to use it as a term of endearment, “My N…” etc
Other black people I’ve seen on stand up specials etc seem to use it as an insult, “I’d never date a N…..”
Or famously, Chris Rock ;
“There’s black people and then there’s N’s”
Weirdly tends to make sense in the context.
As we are all aware, there is no context that a white person should say it.

A Jewish guy goes to see his mate and tells him, "You're not going to believe this, my son has left home and become a Christian!" his mate says "no way! You are not going to believe this, my son has also left home and
become a Christian, let's go see the Rabbi.
They go to the Rabbi and tell him, the Rabbi says, "You're not going to believe this, but my son has also left home and become a Christian, we should pray to God"
So they start praying, and the voice of God speaks and says, "You're not going to believe this....
become a Christian, let's go see the Rabbi.

I'm not sure I see your point. If you're white, don't say it. It's a simple system.

He already had a meltdown and career break 3 or 4 years ago... we went to one of his comeback shows here in the west country, he threw that word around liberally to a mostly 'blue collar' audience. He was dog-shiite, he didn't have a plan, was assuming he could just wing it with controversy, clearly trying to get bites by using the N word.An inevitable update from this story:

The audience started at 250 sold out, at the halfway point I think 50 had left... he is clearly a guy with issues.
Jimmy Carr can be very funny and also very unfunny.
I think he’s gone off the boil these last few years.
I saw him live years ago, back before the liquorice hair days and he was superb.
