NMA: Publisher censors Huckleberry Finn, Moby Dick next?

"Publisher NewSouth Books plans to release a new edition of the classic Mark Twain novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn that replaces all instances of the 'n-word' with 'slave.' Which American classic is next in line for the political correctness treatment?"

I like the new political correctness.

If you hate other races, you're a racist.
If you love other races, you're a racist.
If you agree with other races, you're a racist.
If you disagree with other races, you're a racist.

What a time-saver!

Here is more on this.

quote:
In a bold move compassionately advocated by Twain scholar Dr. Alan Gribben and embraced by NewSouth, Mark Twain’s Adventures of Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn also replaces two hurtful epithets that appear hundreds of times in the texts with less offensive words, this intended to counter the “preemptive censorship” that Dr. Gribben observes has caused these important works of literature to fall off curriculum lists nationwide.

A new edition of Mark Twain’s classic book “Huckleberry Finn” is causing controversy. The said novel is the famous one in which Mark Twain has been noted for. Many of his works though have been suppressed for various reasons. The publisher, NewSouth Books, has made some startling omissions. The book has had all the words some people discover offensive left out. Classic novel Huckleberry Finn censored in new edition. Twain used dialog that was very common, and was really fervently against racism in any form. Let's hope that payday loans were not used to fund the censorship of an excellent novel.
