You offer interpretations of several sentences. These interpretations are guesswork. Even if we take your interpretations as perfectly correct, they don't knit together into any coherent message.
The man is schizophrenic. You are holding him to account for a kind of performance that he is biologically not equipped to provide. He isn't harming anyone and as far as anyone can interpret what he says, many times he uses words like "nigger" he is complaining about things like how we have made computing overcomplicated. I think it's worth it to cut the guy a break.
That doesn't mean we accept racism in general, it means we don't have to pick on people who can't help the way they express themselves. Do we pick on people with Tourette's for saying bad words?

Well I guess we differ on this point and that's okay. The overall message I got from that quote was that every group has a stereotype, and one's actions affect the stereotype of your race. And so you should stick up for yourself. That makes sense to me. For the record, I am not judging the guy, and I don't care if what he says offends people. I know he has mental health issues, and that it affects the things he thinks/says. I was just saying that the quote was not "word salad", according to the definition I provided. If no one else can see the gist of what he is saying then fine. I guess we all see patterns differently.
