On 60 minutes tonight I saw a thing over the term nigger in the book Huckleberry Fin. Some teachers will not say it, some schools have band the book others are buying edited versions. Boy what a way to shit on Mark Twain, freedom of press and free speech.
They way that I was raised nigger could be good or bad. Mostly just meant you was black. Working like a nigger was a good thing cause God knows that slaves worked. But on the other hand it was used to refer to the bad of any race. The part that gets me is that this book is an a American icon a truly great piece of American lit. and they want to change it all because it may offend some one. Well folks grow some skin while you are growing some balls and the world would be better off.
