New Huckleberry Finn a Disgrace to My Face

Okay guys! So...before I get officially started I must add my disclaimer. I am not racist and I do not approve of the use of racist "slang" or derogatory terms. Okay now, If you didn't know this, there is a new issue of Huckleberry Finn coming out where they are going to remove the "N" word and the word "Injun" ...in my personal opinion the shouldn't do this. Okay there is a difference between Mark Twain using these words and if I were to go out and write a story using these words. It was an everyday part of his life and culture. I mean remiving these words from a Mark Twain book is like removing the word "wench" from Shakespear no you don't do it! Now here is where I'm going to be called a hypocrite....I hate reading books that cuss espacially books that use the "F" word or "Gd" and I think those should be removed. I know that sounds hypocritical....but those words are uneccessary they don't prove a point. Now, if you were are writing a book I don't think you should use the "N" word because it's offensive...and it's not part of our culture today or whatever you wanna say. Point being by removing these words we are destroying classic literature! Its wrong...its almost as bad as banning books, or book burning, or something equally disgraceful. This is classic Literature people....If people weren't bothered enough by it when it was written to change it then we shouldn't change it now! Also there is a difference between someone writing a book and it being sent back to them and being all change these words they are offensie, but you don't take a Classic Book and edit it because it's suddenly offensive. We have bigger issues.....hey when I read books if I find something offenseive I either A) Don't read it or B) if it's my own book I use white out, lol. Steven Crowder should adress this issue....ha-ha! So yeah.....this is just another for of making everything so sickenly politically correct. So please do yourself a favor read the orginal Huckleberry Finn....or don't read it at all, but please avoid this "revised" version....it's not revised, its destroyed.
