There is a move afoot to publish a volume of Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn without the word “nigger”. The word ‘slave’ will be used instead of “nigger”. Any educated fool that thinks the word “nigger” and ‘slave’ are interchangeable has no idea what the word “nigger” means. Absent a historically accurate depiction of how American society in general and Southern society in particular came to terms with the forced labor of white indentured servants, Native Americans and then black Africans, ‘slave’ and ‘slavery’ are abstract and historically anonymous concepts.
