I'm not surpised 'we' wouldn't get this... used by whites the 'n' word is usually a slur.
But different - I can call you or a black guy a snotty nosed heap of parrot droppings and not appear racist.
So to Uncle Tom - it is a slur exclusively for blacks.

I've been called a vanilla wafer with a chocolate cream center affectionately by some.  I didn't mind.

I call other whites at work "redneck" and "honkey" at times. The blacks think it's funny-----but don't repeat it.
I think that's just how it works.
And, I suspect that Walter Williams guy is either full of shit or stupid. He probably hasn't had to deal with racism as nasty and downright deadly as it can be----when it's tolerated.

Okay, so this guy has dealt with it and spent half his life fighting overt racism, then once he's inside the academic establishment, he starts telling people 'It exists, don't fight it, just do the best you can.'
He sucking up to his white colleagues and superiors. Asshole.

I've bee 'my n----r' many times, or more commonly 'my n-g', and honky, I've also been the token white guy
It's like anything. I can call my friends hillbillies, but not strangers.
Of course the GOP has a lock on racists

No, but at present, it has more than it's fair share.
I've watched racists change parties the day you know who won in '08.
I'm pretty sure we all have.
Same thing happened once before in the 1960s.

Actions speak louder than words.
Nixon saddled the Repubs with the worst of the southern Democrats and that is the fruit of his labors. We Dems are constantly mocked by the right for being politically correct when we object to racist and intolerant crap. Maybe it's time for the Repubs to come out of the dark ages, too?
