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.

More information about the change here:

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.

whatever the reasoning, it's stupid and rather pathetic.

are we gonna have Turkeylet instead of Hamlet because ham is offensive to Jews, Muslims, Seventh Day Adventists, Zionists etc?

is The Old Man and the Sea going to become the Old Woman and the Sea for the feminists? will Moby Dick become Moby Clit?

what about books that talk about queers and faggots? will they receive the same attention? will the terms suddenly be replaced with "happy" and "rainbow" to make them less offensive?

when you get right down to it LIFE is offensive, so how about just killing everyone and being done? (i am not serious, killing people is bad)

I posted Apagracia's post as my facebook status (with her as credited).

mostly it's upon what parents think about it and what the school system is doing (mostly in the urban communities).

Hell if it goes that far as to change it. it would be better off to not cange it and call it a banned book or shouldn't be in the ciricular book.

I read as a class book about a 14 year old girl that got raped but calling someone the n-word. OMG the world is going to an end.

woo! i'm famous! thanks Echo!

i agree with you. they should rather just take the book off the "required reading list" or whatever. they have ABSOLUTELY no right to change the book.

but honestly, has no one in power ever heard of George Santayana? how about "those who forget the past are doomed to repeat it"?

and i bet the people behind the editing are the same ones that call outrage over holocaust denial too. >:[

seriously bedtiems for Gracey though, or she's gonna pop a vein for real. night, gang! :3

I should go to my one neighbor if she found Huckleberry Finn in anyway offensive ._.
