The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, once again being attacked

The extreme liberals and political correct crowd continuing their attack upon American culture renewing their sights on Mark Twain's (Samuel Clemens) novel, "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," published in 1884, known as "The Great American Novel." According to Publishers Weekly, an outfit named NewSouth Books plans to offer a sanitized, politically correct version of this great American classic.

The book is around 380 pages long, and the "N" word appears 214 times, to be replaced with the word "slave." The slur "injun" appears 12 times to be replaced with "Native American." The so-called offensive words written by Mr. Twain were not written to illustrate him being a racist, but written to expose America's racist past. The book was written in the vernacular of the time the novel was written, pre-Civil War (1861) in the South of the United States.

How else could Mark Twain expose racism without accurately illustrating it? The last two sentences of the book are rather prophetic in reference to the sanitizing of the book, which reads as Huck Finn saying:

"But I reckon I got to light out for the Territory ahead of the rest, because Aunt Sally she's going to adopt me and sivilize me and I can't stand it. I been there before."

The political correct mob is not only attempting to "sivilize" Huck, but the whole book.

Comment left on this video by YouTuber: tenfed1861:

"In the 19th Cent,"Native American did not mean what it means today.It means a member of the Know-Nothing party.They were anti-Irish,anti-Chinese,and later became anti-Italian.Their believes would heavily influence the KKK's "American First" movement.So replacing "Injun" with "Native American" is like telling a junkie to stop smoking crack and start using heroine."

Tony, I must say I prefer the "screeching broad" version. Its more you. Don't try to "sivilize" yourself when making these videos.

"Sivilizing" by the Left = NewSpeak

You know what, Tony, I'm offending by words and phrases and concepts in Saul Alinksy's book "Rules for Radicals." Do you think the Left would allow me to "sivilize" that book?

[PropagandaBuster]

@NoGuff - Is it possible to "sivilize" that book?

[StoogeWatcher]

I wonder how many of the same liberals who advocate censoring American literary classics will protest against rap music. It's much more vulgar than anything Mark Twain ever wrote.

I am going to put huck finn on my amazon wish list

All Mark Twains' fans know he is no racist.

I don't know what difference between the "book-sanitizing" and the "book-burning"?

watch?v=s4_j4c7Bop0

only the books and and words?

i see clearly that the liberals are the vandalists.

[KoreanOTB]

both the word "nigger" and "injun" are thought to be racist. i hate how society has make it so that the word "nigger" is so forbidden and yet it's fine to say "injun". I like the video but it's just one of my thoughts.

[WowVideosbyVessel]

fucking liberals how do they work?

[youngdrodeau]

I totally disagree.We're talkin about a children's adventure movie.Imagine Narnia with 200 "cracker"s,"honkey"s or "white devil"s in it.

We really dont even need this movie at all.It's not historical,need to know stuff.Slavery is over,so the "message" isnt needed.And kids don't understand messages anyway,but they do repeat what their TV heroes do & say.As far as kid adventure films go this isn't even that good,compared to the Narnia & Harry Potter stuff out today.Theres NO need for this.

this is the first time i have ever agreed with him, i am a left wing radical. mark twain was a liberal, abolitionist, pro change, anti war.

the book wasnt racist. in its time the idea of huck being friends with jim scared people. the n word was used to emphasize the hate that went around in the 1800's. jim was in fact the nicest character in the book.

political correctness pisses me off, and im an extreme liberal.

i have to agree with you on this one.

[ggweb1919]

I consider myself extremely liberal socially and I still find this form of censorship horrifying. It is vital that the people reading the book get a sense of what was considered appropriate at the time the book was written if they hope to be able to appreciate the book to the fullest extent possible. The use of the term Native American is perhaps even more stupid considering NO ONE used that term in the 19th century and the book has thus been rendered historically inaccurate.

@StoogeWatcher I tried to tell the other guy nigga is used in hip hop and daily conversation nigger is just a slur. The people going after this book have no idea who the man Twain was or what the book was about. I have no idea what classic rock is so I wouldnt try to tell you what's wrong with it. I understand that a lot of white people dont think there is a difference but the is reality nigga is a daily word nigger keeps Rev inc. in business
