EXACTLY. I remember watching Nick News a billion years ago, and they did a story on racist books in school. Of course, they mentioned Huck Finn. A boy was saying how offended he was, and how his family was fighting to ban the book from the school.
Idiot!
Mark Twain was ANTI-SLAVERY. Huck Finn CONDEMNS IT LEFT AND RIGHT. If the book was truly racist, Huck wouldn't have his epiphany near the end!</font>[/quote]I saw a video about some woman and her kid complaining left and right about the book being rascist. The uses of the 'n' word was their cheif reson along with the treatment of the guy in the book whose name slips my mind. The lady started to yell at the expert who was sent to the school to explain how the book wasn't rascist. Yet the lady kept getting up and arguing with her about the same exact point without taking into consideration the point the expert had explained over and over and over again. The woman walked out and began to cry...no wait not out of the seminar. No. I remember. Out of the police station for trying to press charges against the expert. Bravo.
Huck Finn isn't rascism, it's realism.
