To me the reason is obvious, I've known for a long time, and since I've never used the word anyway I think it's awesome.
It's in no way hypocritical. To use your opponent's words against them is "high art". It's like stealing a guy's gun. And to do so in such a way that forbids them from using them against you, or in this case at all, is downright masterful.
The Paula Deen fiasco highlights this. And I don't know the details of when she said it or in what context because I don't care. She typifies the White Southern Democrat (in fact many Democrats everywhere) and exposes the lie that the Democrat Party "switched" in the 60's.
The Zimmerman case is another example. You bet the prosecution looked under every stone in his past to see if he used the word. If he did, they've got the jury in their back pocket. He could be Jesus it wouldn't matter.
You're white? Don't use the friggin' word. Ever. A white guy could have a black wife, black kids, live in Harlem, work with and be friends with dozens of blacks, but if he used the word just once, all those who didn't know him would label him racist.
