Maybe you should stretch your sad little brain to consider context. Are Patti Smith's "ROck and Roll Nigger" or the pivotal 60s essay, "The Student as Nigger," racist? Um, no. Context and parody. The inversion of stereotyping language to undermine the stereotype is hardly the same thing as its use to insult the object of stereotyping.
You are much more interested in the regulation of language than me. The difference is that your pathetic attempt at irony is in service to a claim, not to free speech but to unchallenged thought.
I do not favor banning people for anything but ad hominem attacks, by the way. I much prefer to see racists make public idiots of themselves. Strangely -- yeah right -- there seems to be a high correlation between racist speech and ad hominem attack. (Your post demonstrates it.) I wonder why.

okay, here is the problem. what you posted on that tread has nothing to do with what i wrote to you. i wrote that by using terms such as 'wigger' and 'redneck' you are perpetuating racial steryotypes. a 'wigger' is a white person who acts black. well musclebrains, what does a black person act like, since a wigger is trying to act like your preconceived notion of a black person? do you understand what i'm saying, or is this over your head?
also, i resent you calling me a racist. you know nothing about me. my fiance was born in mexico and is the anchor on telemundo. the last man that made a racist comment to her got a broken bottle end stuck in the side of his neck.
my best friend for 11 years is black. we have shared blood, sweat, and tears in the weight room together for 7 years now. i don't even think you can understand this.
so get some education and don't attack people you know nothing about for being racist when you are the one making steryotypical racist remarks and have yet to apologize.
oh, and look up irony in the dictionary, because i don't think you know what it means. i wasn't being ironic. i was being straight forward and blunt
