All because the PC zombies claim any use of the word "nigger" - even if it's used in a quote of people or characters being depicted negatively as racists - is racist?
I read “Tom Sawyer” and “Huckleberry Finn” to my son when he was VERY little. Maybe 5 years old or something. I used the word nigger when it came up first. Then I explained to him that it was a normal word back then, but today it is a “bad” word - and we don’t use that kind of language. I told him that I would substitute it with “black man” or similar.
Later on as he was a little older (12?) he had read where folks were talking about removing those books from the library because they had the word nigger in them.
“Did they even read the book? Tom is friend’s with Jim - and helps him escape slavery!! How is that racist?”
