It's because it was racial. Look, I often like to play devil's advocate, but I don't know how yourself or BG could try and defend him. There is no other way to interpret
"I hope you get raped by a pack of niggers"
Mel Gibson isn't a racist because he said 'nigger'. He was racist because of the context he put it in.
He also said this last year in another drunken rant.
"Fucking Jews...the Jews are responsible for all the wars in the world."
There is no defending him right now. Look, I can see that some people say things out of anger. I know I have said things out of anger that I would hope nobody heard me say out in public. But, with what he said, it isn't surprising people got upset, and it has nothing to do with just using the 'n' word. He didn't use it in the best context either.
I guess the other term of nigga is like Eugene said. Like brotherhood. I really doubt Mel's translation was: "I hope you get raped by some of my brothers/family".

I know.
I just hoped to stoke up a bit of anger because I was bored and fancied being a touch out of line.
Didn't work.
