Why is the "N" word censured here?

Why did they (Yahoo, and their software) change the "N" word into stars when I pressed submit. I have never seen any software censure someones input. I was not using the word in a bad way. I think my freedom of speech may have been violated. Although they, Yahoo will argue they have the right to censure any speech on their site.

Update:

In reference to black people in the USA.

    Well, technically, we have freedoms in the US. But in reality, we only have abilities. We cant run around and scream fire, we cant use certain words, we cant show images of certain people, and we sure as hell cant run around naked. In theory, with all the freedoms we have, we should be able to do every single one of those. But some idiot thought it to be offensive. Trying to make everyone happy, censorship came around. Censor certain things and allow others. Is it fair? To some yes, To others no. Is it stupid? Yes. But who are we to change that.

    Yes but this is only here in the United States because in any other country in the world, everything is called by it's name, and it's the way it should, you can't call an apple a round red because no one understand, I think soon we are not going to be able to talk at all..☺
