It's not Huckleberry Finn that's offensive, it's American history that is offensive, and accurately portrayed in the book -
Learning the 'N' word from Huckleberry Finn taught me not to use it bc it was improper, so.. why the change?
-
Publishers censoring the "N" word from Huckleberry Finn isn't going to stop Mel Gibson from reading it out loud in public.
-
They are taking the, "N" word out of Huckleberry Finn? What's the "N" word? Was Huck a ninja?
-
After they remove "N" word from Huckleberry Finn. What's next.. do we rename Dick Van Dyke to Penis Van Alternative Lifestyle?
-
The Huckleberry Finn stuff is true? Its being rewritten minus the N word? Will Precious be remade also? That word's in there more than once.
-
After many discussions, the publisher of Huckleberry Finn has decided to not use the "N" word. Instead, it will use the word "Jigga".
-
Can't decide which is sadder, the fact the N-word will be removed from Huckleberry Finn or the fact so many don't know of the classic book?
-
Let's make the Saltine company change their product description. "Cracker" offends me. (I love Huckleberry Finn).
-
Apparently white people are offended by the word nigger in Huckleberry Finn since black people don't read
-
Huckleberry Finn is eliminating the "N" word from new editions to be less offensive. Also, Moby Dick will now be called Moby Penis.
-
Does anyone teach history anymore?I mean Slave and the N-word are not interchangeable in context.To replace it in Huckleberry Finn is crazy.
-
Huckleberry Finn still trending. And it needs to keep trending until Mark Twain comes back from the dead and flogs the nimrods editing it.
-
So the new edition of Huckleberry Finn removes the "N" Word. Wow, let's just erase racism and pretend it never happened then I guess.
-
Heard newer versions of Huckleberry Finn are censoring n-word. With that level of historical accuracy, the Holocaust never happened.
-
Those who don't know history are bound to repeat it. Censorship of Huckleberry Finn only makes N word more powerful, not less.
-
Huckleberry Finn is edited now? I hope this doesn't affect Harry Potter. If they edit "mudblood" out, I'll lose it.
-
Removing the "N" word from Huckleberry Finn won't change history, but it could change the future. Knowledge keeps history from repeating.
-
You can censor Huckleberry Finn, but you can't censor the truth! Only cowards like to water down tough issues. The N-word is what it is!
-
they are taking the n-word out of Huckleberry Finn followed by the rewrite of Anne Frank's Diary where the nazis take her out for ice cream.
-
Ugh! The stereotype of Arkansans are STUPID! We can read, write, and we all don't talk like Huckleberry Finn!! Pig Sooie that!
-
Huckleberry Finn is a document of the ignorance of an age. Removing it does not educate & leaves youth unable to understand current climate
-
Let's rewrite Huckleberry Finn even more by adding Child Protective Services to the story to arrest Huck's parents for neglect.
-
Like Huckleberry Finn, we can edit the Scarlet Letter by giving Hester some birth control pills so we don't encourage bastard kids!
-
Seriously tho, Removing the n_word from #Huckleberry Finn doesn't erase the racism that went on during the time it was written. #TRUST
