NOTCENSORED vs. COMMONSENSE

I wasn't trying to censor anything with my edit, but with an article this short, it doesn't seem to be necessary to repeat the fact that "niggers" refers to "African Americans". In the odd case that someone is unaware of this, it is explained clearly in the lede. Repeating it in the body seems entirely unnecessary, given the brevity of this article.

I don't think it belongs in the lead at all, per WP:SUMMARYSTYLE; it arguably is superfluous wherever it is included, and unnecessary.—John Cline (talk) 19:57, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Fine with me. Joefromrandb (talk) 20:06, 1 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

Horrible

Horrible! Horrible!! Awien (talk) 23:26, 14 September 2013 (UTC)[reply]

I know WP isn't censored, but aren't there things like this unutterable filth that are best left in richly-deserved oblivion, not stirred up?

But now the article has been created, could its creator Bonkers the Clown kill it if they thought better of what they're doing?

Or if not, if everybody involved decided publishing this is ill-judged, what would it take to get rid of it?

I wish I hadn't touched the horrible thing.
