Take it up with Jim Robinson.

I was unaware your opinions, which I've taken issue with, had to be cleared through Mr. Robinson.

You've not been around long enough to see all the racist troll eruptions on this website.

This is factual. If I'm missing some sort of neo-Nazi plot that runs through FR discussions of Mark Twain, I can only plead ignorance.

I didn't mean every opinion you had. You take issue your post being pulled. Ask Jim Robinson. BTW, the stormfronters are forever trying to infiltrate FR and have said so plainly more than once, getting to use the n-word in discussions where they might not be so readily detected. Personally, I don't care as nothing suprises me on FR anymore but there are rules on this site.

Come on, boys. Can't we stop niggling* over the PC issues and look at the production with some degree of mature objectivity? The book was written in the 19th century and slavery was very real recent history. Whites weren't slaves, they were indentured servants. It would be equally insulting to replace the Black characters in Uncle Tom's Cabin with white actors, undermining the integrity of the story and demeaning the suffering of American Blacks. It would furthermore diminish the respect due to our Black citizens in overcoming and succeeding after such an experience. *Before you go into paroxysms of PC correctness, look the word up.
