re. Public use of the word “Nigger”
There was a breif period (circa '67-'75) when there was a joining of white and black radicals. One of the outcomes was an attempt to defang “nigger” by using it freely.
(See Hair soundtrack).
Somewhere, that spirit was lost, and the word went back into the place where the only non-blacks who use it are KKK-types.
Maybe a future generation will defang it, just as “queer” has been transformed - and I hope that word will finally be acceptable for use by straights who wish to ridicule homophobes.
Of course, the last line of the joke was supposed to be “Baby, you’re sucking my arm!”
You’re sucking on my ELBOW! It was “you’re sucking on my elbow”
“That’s HEDLEY!”
“Hey, this is 1874; you can sue her!”
Land… land… land… See “Snatch”
Caressing the statue of “Justice” was a visual classic.
It is a shame you can never see it again for the first time.
Howard Johnson, reading “…and I’d Like to extend this <b>Laurel</b>, and <b>Hearty</b> handshake to the town’s new…” looks up to see Bart, “…nigger.”
Love it not so much for the epithet as the shout-out.
As was astutely and eruditely pointed out by our fellow social scholar Extraneous, one must approach the language in Blazing Saddles keeping in mind the era and context.
Let us not be niggardly 
in our attentions to the fact that Richard Pryor co-wrote the script, and was in fact originally going to play Bart. ( I’ve no clue why this did not come to pass, although Cleavon Little was pretty brilliant). Mr. Pryor recorded, amongst other hilarious 33 1/3 rpm masterpieces, one gem entitled Bicentennial Nigger.
Furthermore and herewith upon, Mr. Pryor did in fact announce during the filmed performance of (I believe) Richard Pryor Live On The Sunset Strip, that subsequent to a visit to Africa, he would no longer use the word nigger. Here are some in-depth insights into the use of that word by Mr. Pryor during his career.
I wept when I first saw this movie in the theatres. I could NOT believe there was so much satire packed into it. Not just coarse superficial humor, but the social satire in layers that makes the movie still have legs today.

“Excuse me while I whip this out!”
“Has anybody got a dime? Someone’s going to have to go back and get a sh-tload of dimes!”
“Can’t you see she’s POOPED?!”
First entry in the IMDb trivia listing:
While trying to verify that, I found this:
Either they were watching an edited version or they won’t paying attention!
Thanks, Jeff. I apologize for not perusing IMDB before posting. I should have linked to the Blazing Saddles page.

When my stepfather and I used to watch this film together on TV, I used to laugh extra loud at that line, and he would get angry at it. He’s farmfolk himself.
“Man, them schnitzengruben can wipe you out!”
Gov To Bart: " Are you Crazy can’t you see that man is a Ni…"
Notices he is speaking to Bart, “Excuse me,” Grabs Hedley
“Are you crazy can’t you see that man is a Ni.”
I may be wrong but I think Brooks never used the full word at all in the film as either the Govenor or the Chief.
Twelve’s my limit, y’know.
Sorry, it was “Baby, you’re sucking my arm.” I have the interview on tape. (Mel Brooks on the “Late Late show with Tom Snyder”)
But he could have been mistaken (he is 2,000 years old, after all!)
