As always, so much depends upon context. The situation, the individuals, the relationships. I know a former colleague and still long time friend who was a Black Panther back in the days of Black Power. We have the sort of relationship in which she refers to herself as the Chocolate Bunny and I will call her that as well -- but we have that kind of relationship, and I wouldn't do it in public or a work setting.
Communication is all about knowing your audience, and matching semantics to situations in order to communicate rather than trying to provoke.

@NeuroticByNature When I was a kid, like in 1st grade I had a black friend and we got on the whole subject of why there were so many different colored people. We ended up agreeing God used a toaster to color us and Black people got left in the toaster too long.

The Spanish name for black negro?
specman · 51-55, M
@TJNewton some black folks refer to white folks as “ cracker “ . So a fitting name to refer to them folks would be “ moon pie “. That’s only fair. I don’t mean to offend any folks that don’t refer to that name. Me myself refer to black folks “ black people”. I don’t mean to offend anyone. Just like I refer to Caucasian people as white people.
