Right-o. Let's not have kids read novels in which people in the 1800s use language that was used in the 1800s.
Fuxxake. I have a strong suspicion that the adults who ban books like Huckleberry Finn know literally nothing more than that it has the word 'nigger' in it. If they were to ban books actually promoting and supporting racism, I could see their point (although I still wouldn't agree with their methods). But that doesn't apply here. Huckleberry Finn isn't a racist book, and Twain wasn't a racist.
Maybe these fuckwits should read Twain's 'The United States of Lynchdom' to get a more accurate picture about his views on race.
