Why is that?

I guess I disagree with your presumptions.
I do not think that the "black community" encourages the use of racial slurs. Do some? Sure. Does the entire "black community" or even most the "black community?" Not in my experience, growing up in a very mixed race environment.
I also don't think the "black community" wants to keep their wounds open and do everything to prevent healing, Again, not in my experience.
I think your experiences are giving you a view of the millions of people that comprise the "black community" that may not be accurate.
