Am I the only person in the Pub who thinks this racism shit has been taken far enough? 32

We practically have a racism gestapo here nowadays. I find myself looking over my shoulder every time I'm even thinking about any issue that is even remotely related to possible tensions between white and black people (uh, dark colored co-humans...pigmentally well-endowed individuals...is there a term that can still be safely used??) - I mean, before I know it, the anti-n-word-stasi creeps up behind me to finish me off with the swing of a sword that is appropriately forged out of politically correct black-and-white steel.
Seriously though - quit being so fucking spastic about this. When somebody says the n-word in a context that has nothing to do with racial (in)equality, then sane people won't take offense - black or white. If someone points out that there are sociological differences between predominantly black and predominantly white communities that helps explain specific events, then that's not racism either.
Running around like a madman, pointing out any occurrence that might be interpreted as an indirect suggestion of potential racism only achieves the opposite of equality. It puts a disproportionate emphasis on racial issues. It is a way to declare streams of thought or discussion off limits because people who are barely represented here (and frankly don't give a fuck about this whole community) might possibly oooh-boy-don't-let-it-be-so under certain circumstances take offence.
Is that what we want? Having to watch every thought you share because 1% of the (white!!) people on here go to great lengths to purposefully misinterpret your words? Really? Because I don't want to be part of that.
I for sure am not going to ban anyone who writes 'nigger' once in a joking fashion while it's clear that he is otherwise respectful towards people of any color or creed. This bullshit has been taken far enough and I'm done with it.

Oh, and in case you wonder - this is not intended as a debate. It's a declaration. Respond if you will, but this is where I stand. You can accept it for what it is or you can kindly go fuck yourself.

37 seconds pretty well explains my views on the whole thing.
Constantly kicking up a shitstorm about it is really detrimental to getting rid of it.

I just wish the black genes in me would have given me the black cock gene....i only got part of it. just gave me frizzy hair and a bit of a flat nose--oh, and long thin chicken legs that are stronger than fuck and made me the fastest guy on all the football teams I played on. Used to piss the black guys off something terrible.

Yeah, I think what really bugs me is that when I post something on here that I know could possibly be interpreted as a hint of racism by some politically correct zealot (regardless if it's intended as such!), I immediately feel the need to write an arm-long disclaimer on how I'm not racist. What the fuck! Of course I'm not racist! Why should I have to make that explicit whenever I feel like writing something that remotely relates to racial differences?
And if guilt-tripped white boy calls a user 'racist' - then who's actually discriminating? Who's being judgmental?
Of course, actual racism doesn't stand - it goes without saying. I don't care if it comes in the form of white people bashing Asians, black people shitting on white people or white people calling out other white people for baking a black cake. But 99% of the 'racism' reports I've seen on here as a moderator actually show no ulterior motives of racism, and half of the cases refer to posts that are formulated in such a way that they are completely passable.
