re: How did randy Newman get away with saying the n word?

A) it was written a long time ago.
B) It isnt part of modern pop culture so SJWs dont know about it
C) It's a satirical song that is poking fun at the South but also skewering Northern hypocrisy, esp when he blasts the defacto segregation in Northern cities.

Yes he's free to be put in a cage
In Harlem in New York City
And he's free to be put in a cage
On the South Side of Chicago
And the West Side
And he's free to be put in a cage
In Hough in Cleveland
And he's free to be put in a cage
In East St. Louis
And he's free to be put in a cage
In Fillmore in San Francisco
And he's free to be put in a cage
In Roxbury in Boston
They're gatherin' 'em up from miles around
Keepin' the n*****s down
