New edition of Huckleberry Finn replaces n-word with ‘slave’
• RawStory.comAlan Gribben is editing a new version of the classic novel that will remove all 219 instances of the "n-word," replacing it with the word "slave." The book will also replace the word "Injun."
That's a killing offense.
Hold on here, The N-word does not describe all Slaves! There are just as many white slaves as any other color. So to change the wording of a book, famous or other wise is just wrong. That was what black people were called at the time, right or wrong. And Injun was the authors spelling, so who are we to change that word. Please leave our writings original, do not shame our heritage.
@Jackie mc
as many white slaves as any other color? Im gonna need you to back your bullshit up with some citations.
Oh, this is nothing! Wait until ALL BOOKS IN THE LIBRARY are reprinted with all instances of use of the word 'gay' replaced with the word 'merry'...
