Kinda OT, but I believe the connotation is that slur is use of the word, whereas an insult is use directed at someone.
According to Chambers online, a slur is "a disparaging remark intended to damage a reputation" while an insult is "a rude or offensive remark or action" (at least in the meanings we are talking about). They have overlapping meanings but aren't identical.
