But what does it really matter? If he was slave when slaves were legal, who cares? Look at the stuff we believe in now. Global warming is man-made. Wait until our decedents get done making fun of us for THAT. Hillary's not a criminal. I mean the list goes on and on.

I'm not sure what happened. I read Huckleberry Finn and Tom Sawyer in the first grade. I don't even remember what Tom Sawyer was about. I can tell neither book made me racist against blacks. Blacks made me not like them by their behavior, not mine. And I mean as a general group. As individuals I've had black friends all my life.
Changing the words in a book that is a historical look into what people were thinking at the time is a crime, IMO. I love history but you have to take it in context. Most do not. They want to judge the past by today's rules because it suits their agendas.
And I got a real eye-opener for you peeps ... we Southerners did not and do not call blacks niggers. I never have, nor have I been around anyone from the South that did. The people I was around that did were from the upper Midwest.
