PART OF THE WHOLE POINT of the DAMNED BOOK was that Huck Finn called the dude, Nigger Jim, with derision -- but then learned respect and love for him.

LOL! That was my thought. Twain called him that for a reason. Idiots.

The n word has many different definitions and that is the whole point.

Also, it must be taken into account how the n word is used and in what context.

Cannot history teachers use the n word in their class as an example of times past and a matter of historical record?

I am reminded of the scene in THE BLACKBOARD JUNGLE. Anybody remember that movie?
