Human consideration, compassion and politeness are monumentally impaired by censoring words. It is not only lazy, but ineffective to say "you shouldn't say this word or this word" rather than "you shouldn't imply this or this". Simply put, again, there's a mix-up between context and content.
You're missing my point. Some people don't want to hear these words because of what it means to them. Forcing people to listen to words they don't want to hear is inconsiderate and rude. Not to mention it's like forcing your opinion down their throats. Something free speech isn't supposed to do.
Some people like swearing.
Some people hate it.
Some people are neutral.
And some people, like me, do not believe in "bad words."
We must all learn to respect each others beliefs and decisions.

I think you mean "racial epithets." An epitaph is written on your tombstone when you die.
