Huckleberry Finn "N" Word.
I agree with the author's point of view because I feel like society likes to push controversial topics under the carpet, especially racism. Taking nigger out of Huckleberry Finn is exactly that. It shows how uncomfortable we are with racism still. It shows that we don't want confront the issue because it deals with our past, which of course.. we aren't proud of. The only way we could get comfortable with the issue, and not have it be such a "hush hush" topic, we need to recognize it and embrace it. Huckleberry Finn does this exactly with the way it is originally written, with the word Nigger.
