I went to re-explain those quotes, but I realized they really didn't show jack shit.
nigger:
"Used as a disparaging term for a member of any dark-skinned people. "
redneck:
"Used as a disparaging term for a member of the white rural laboring class, especially in the southern United States."
Two opposing terms with extremely similar definitions. One is "OK" and one is Not. That's the double standard I was not-so-clearly referring to.
