I thought the cracking of the whip was in reference to cattle is something like that. I know negro is Spanish for black (Latin based of course)and I thought nigger meant an ignorant person but that is neither here nor there because you are correct.

Larry Elder was talking about how his dad would say you can’t control what happens to you but you are 100% control in how you react. So if called a nigger I can let it roll off my back and walk away or act like an animal. I remember some ignorant students got upset because their teacher said “niggardly”. Finally like you said, you don’t see white people throwing endless tantrums over “cracker” or “honky” ( haven’t heard honky used since watching The Jeffersons). I’ve always thought it was stupid to hear nigger in so many rap songs and then they get up in arms if a white person raps the lyrics.

People choose to give words so much power

Comedic effect is always in play for any slur . The “Sheriff is near” part of Blazing Saddles still cracks me up
