i'm probably gonna poof soon too. this railing against the Huckleberry Finn edit thing is tiring me out. xD

oh, and new strip'll be up in 14 hours, if anyone's interested.

I've heard about that, I was a little taken back in pissed off-ness

What pissed Echo off? o.O

Echo - my Twitter is overflowing with ragetweets about it o.o;;

White - yay! *snuggles*

i'm gonna lurk 'til i fall asleep though.

That their changing The Adentures of Huckleberry Finn to make it less racist.

yep. replacing all the instances of the N-word with "slave" instead. *vein pop*

Ohh..

WHAT they are editing Huckleberry Finn? Dx what the hell! leave classics alone! D< they were WRITTEN that way cause of the TIME PERIOD it was set in! D<

or black...but back then that's what they called Black people the 'n-word' so you cant just change the slangs back then just to get the present black kids more comfortable.

They're...changing it? So while racism can still exist in the world, in movies, and on television shows, it can't be in a book written 126 years ago...

The world is stupid.

._. I hate people who change stuff just cause it 'offends' other people...

some people are going to like it, some arent.. why not edit all the other classic stuff to D< *riots*

ok I'ma go now ._. I'm getting into this to much

what pisses me off the most is that it's ok to talk about "poppin' caps in niggaz asses" but god forbid a book written in the 1800s by one of the most vocal anti-slavery activists EVER should contain the N-word in the socially accepted context of the time.

I'm thinking that the teachers (or anyone by that matter) don't give kids warning about the book that it contains the word excessively because of the time period the story was taken place and when it was made.
