"You are admitting that words can incite violence, yet I am not so sure you would admit Donell's words incited Abe to violence. You have not yet questioned why Donell was not released from the show for inciting violence."
Why is that puzzling? The impact of words is subjective, so someone extremely sensitive could take offence to too many words. On the other hand, there are words that are stipulated to be unacceptable, offencive and derogatory. The example you gave is one of those words. It's so different from "cornbread" or "redneck", etc. The latter are stereotypes, but they don't rile a crowd, at least not easily. Saying n*gg*r on the hand could and would likely rile a crowd or an individual to whom it's directed.
