'White boys' were never held as slaves, discriminated against with Jim Crow laws and strung up by blacks if they crossed the line. It is not an equivalent.
If he'd just called them Nigger then maybe, just maybe that wouldn't actually make him a racist, but to call on imagery of the violent repression of African Americans during America's ugly past makes it deeply racist.
