Nigger Jim!

The infamous, controversial term is used over 200 times in Mark Twain's Huckleberry Finn!   However, we are now at a point that Twain's incredible iconic classic...is subject to censorship because of the use of the infamous "N" word...aka Nigger! (Sorry Oprah!)



Again...sorry...but it is what it is!   There are those that want to censor its use and ban it from existence.   What's next?   Eliminate it from dictionaries?   This word, as repulsive as it, is an inherent part of the American lexicon...and will be there long after I'm gone.   I think future generations should be aware of its existence, its ugliness and hopefully...one day...its place in history!
