I'm not saying I am for this particular editing of the movie, but I'll explain it to you since you said you didn't understand:
Indicating excrement, or calling for a possible invisible space-voyeur to damn something, is generally not as inherently bad as playing off the slavery and abuse history of real people with a derogatory term. It's that's simple, I think.
