What’s a liberal public school teacher supposed to say if an astute student were to ask, “America is bad compared to what?” The poor kid would probably be suspended for actually thinking, if efforts to brainwash him continued to fail.

This reflects the devil's mean little scheme. Blaspheme, blaspheme, blaspheme, whether or not it's true or exaggerated or false.

If people learned not to DO that, we'd have peace on earth real quick (as best we could get it on a mortal coil of sinners). It's the devil who has the problem with forgiving. Not God.

“All modern American literature comes from one book by Mark Twain called Huckleberry Finn....[I]t’s the best book we’ve had. All American writing comes from that. There was nothing before. There has been nothing as good since.”— Ernest Hemingway

The book has the n-word, so it's racist, so no one should read it.

The subject is now closed for discussion. Anyone who disagrees is a racist.

The best writers understand and successfully portray human nature. It is that which adds true timelessness to their works.

The quote: “I never let my schooling interfere with my education.” , got me kicked out of a High School English class...while supposedly studying Twain.

Until a message like Dr. Carson’s permeates our homes, Americans should have no problem understanding why we see such mindless racial violence today — or why Mark Twain jabbed long ago, “I never let my schooling interfere with my education.”

It’s only a matter of time before Hollyweird produces yet another movie version, but this time they will portray it as a gay love affair between Huck and Jim.

His touching relationship with the character named Nigger Jim is what frees Huck’s mind.

Just a few miles north east of Moab, Ut is a side canyon that empties into the Colorado River.

It used to be called Nigger Bill Canyon.

“All right then, I’ll go to hell!” is the greatest sentence in American literature. BTT
