RE: Learned a new word today
Huckleberry Finn is banned from libraries (where have I been...)? That is an anti-slavery, anti-racist book. Mark Twain intentionally wrote it with an ironic tone to give it more power and make a greater impact on the reader. He hated slavery.

Is it because of the use of the n-word? Take that word out, and its impact is greatly diminished, IMO.

IMO, no books should be revised, however "slightly", without the author's permission, and when those authors are dead and can't be consulted, leave their books as is. Don't read them if you are easily offended.

After all, women (of all colors) are bombarded with the billions-of-dollars porn industry that stares us in the face in magazines, on TV, in movies, on the internet, and some of these same people who are so PC in other areas, think nothing of any of that, and many of them actually indulge in it. Porn exists because that is what the masses want. What good would it do to ban it? That would go over about as well as Prohibition did.
