>>>Do you think it's an acceptable word? If you were black would you want to be called that?

>>If you change Mark Twain's words, just because a few ignorants MAYBE will feel better after this, You are completely insane.
>>If you change all Twain's words to politically correct words, then better just burn his books.

>>If somebody didn't like Twain's words, JUST DON'T READ him ....

>>Grrrr.
>>I really hate when somebody try to change the books, because of the politics.
>>If some black persons (Hmmm, African American) come here most of the people will call hhim/her N word, JUST BECAUSE this is NOT offensive word here.

>I agree completely. Most of these people which I agree are a little crazy, mostly cry out because someone else may be offended. You will here these people saying "I am not offended, because I can take it, but other people may be offended". For crying out loud, get these people to shut up, and ask the people who really are offended to speak out. If you managed that, you would really hear the sound of silence.

In the media if you dare use "free speech' to express yourself, you can certainly be fired here...

I'm more concerned with trying to make literature "PC." That makes no sense at all. It is supposed to reflect us - the good, the bad, and the ugly.
