..and this is what it leads to...

"What is a word worth? According to Publishers Weekly, NewSouth Books’ upcoming edition of Mark Twain’s seminal novel Adventures of Huckleberry Finn will remove all instances of the “n” word—I’ll give you a hint, it’s not nonesuch—present in the text and replace it with slave. The new book will also remove usage of the word Injun. The effort is spearheaded by Twain expert Alan Gribben, who says his PC-ified version is not an attempt to neuter the classic but rather to update it. “Race matters in these books,” Gribben told PW. “It’s a matter of how you express that in the 21st century.”

"NEWSOUTH" what an appropriate name for this ridiculous attempt to rewrite history....this goes hand in hand with Haley Barbours recent observation that the 60s in Mississippi weren´t "all that bad"...of the Ohio fellow who played at Nazi on the weekends...or the new "celebration" of Southern independence movements,meaning the Civil War during which the South were all treasonous states who had declared war on the Union.

Nigger isn´t being expunged from literature because Whites are now sensitive to Blacks...it´s because the word is a powerful reminder of what Whites DID to Blacks...and what they continue to do...which they could do a lot better and easier if the rest of us would just forget the past, as it really happened and accept the NEW SOUTH version of history.

It was ALWAYS wrong, for instance, to put the victims of rape on trial, as if clothing or dating habits meant they ASKED for it....but it was done, routinely, for decades...until things changed, until they were MADE to change...and when they changed, when justice was expanded and our society made better, the pigs yelled "political correctness"...like we were somehow muzzling the best in our scoiety when we demanded equal justice and fair treatment...since when did justice, equally applied, become political correctness? On the contrary it was hateful things like Jim Crow which were made into the CORRECT thing to do, culturally and politically...winning freedom for all was what we should ALWAYS have been doing...and yet it´s made to appear trivial and something from an etiquette book when justice is finally won.

Let the causes and carry-overs from that time in our history when Whites INVENTED the word Nigger to refer to Afro-Americans, be done away with and THEN the word will die a natural death...this is just another instance of trying, through legislation, to change the reality in favor of tidiness...for the sake of WHITES and not out of fellow-feeling with Blacks.
