Racism is indeed an important issue to discuss, and should be discussed freely, without pejorative terms that are highly offensive to many readers and without inflaming stereotypes that do little justice to the intellect and emotional intelligence supposedly available to poets, thus the Sewer became the only possible home for the thread.
It has never been the policy of the Pig Pen to allow highly inflammatory posts in the more public parts of the site, regardless of the fact that these are members only. Signing up for a poetry website does not mean you need access to offensive material unless you so choose, and opt in to The Sewer. As for your precious "free speech":
"People demand freedom of speech as compensation for the freedom of thought that they seldom use." (Soren Kierkegaard)

It could be worse
