Do you need to be a certain "level" of Black to say it? He is black, so why can't he say it? I thought it was a term of endearment anyways so what is the problem?

yes
its no reason to say certain words if they are not in your character
just like I wouldn't expect my grandmother to say dead ass or some other slang

What kind of "character" must you have to say it? Is the word only supposed to be used by black people of a specific socio-economic level? You can not say it if you grew up outside of the hood?

Not trying to get into it too deep because I do not think anyone should be saying it, but I thought the only qualifier for saying was that you are black.

I'm wondering the same thing as @num123 , what type of character must a black person possess to use the Nword, a warm & friendly term of endearment.

I thought the only requirement was being black
