I have a box of proscribed books that I’m keeping for posterity. Huckleberry Finn is in it. So is Uncle Tom’s Cabin. I’m not sure what the Amazon search database is going to think of me ordering Pippi Longstocking, though.

“King of the Negros” is a lot milder than what rap groups call themselves and the profanity they spew.

John Candy was best at it. And no racist slurs

Nothing is sacred to the PC witch hunters.

Not even legacy literature.

Perhaps especially not that.

“...there are many very positive aspects to the book...it is against adultism, grown-ups being in charge...”

- Dr Eske Wollrad, a feminist theologian from Germany’s Federal Association of Evangelical Women.

Socialism and fem-SJW putting Valkyries out of bidness.

Sweden, if the men you castrated won't fight for Swedish women, where are all the Viking Shield maidens?

Gotta be a few Frank Franzetta books around with role models. Check 'em out.

I often joked about liberals burning books...

But NEVER ask how stupid they can get- they seem to be taking it as a challenge.

The Nazis of the 1930s would be very proud.

Heck the original was much worse. I seem to recall that it said her dad was King of the Cannibals.

It’s about erasing their culture, not about offending anyone. Destroy their history and they don’t know who they are. If they don’t know who they are, they have nothing to defend, and the savages waltz right in and destroy the culture the Swedes don’t know they have.

Book burning and banning is bad—unless it’s not. Depends which side of the Political Correctness divide you sit on

Samuel Clemens (Mark Twain) wrote “Huckleberry Finn.” In recent years this great book has been deemed racist. However, if one reads this great novel it points out the great wrongs of racism. It is subtle. It is real.

Samuel Clemens was a brilliant man. To live the life he did would be a dream come true as a writer, a novelist, a riverboat captain, a newspaper editor etc. He was and is a Sage that transcends his death. He did like to drink a bit of bourbon also!

He despised slavery. He was a man much before his time.
