I'm not sure I can say it any better than this when it comes to "Huckleberry Finn": Huckleberry Finn and "Muslim" Jim
We have become so uneducated in our country that we don't even know what education means. We are so illiterate in this country that there are people who haven't read this novel in order to know what it's really about. Sometimes offensive words are needed to make a point -- or a counterpoint. Twain here is a genius. But fewer and fewer are going to get to learn that.
