I wonder what they’d do if their American Lit professor reads them Huckleberry Finn. The most accidentally profound novel (Twain had intended another adventure novel for boys) ever written. But it has the N-word all over it!

The “n-word”, the one word that must not be uttered or you will face a possible death penalty in the job market—unless you happen to be a rapper, in which case you might win a record contract or a music award.

We are truly living in bizarro times.

“United Negro College Fund
Or
National Assoc for Advancement of Colored People ?”

“Colored people”—now verboten.

“People of color”—A OK.

But stay tuned—subject to change without notice.

I think more than one newscaster has been fired for using the word “niggardly” which has nothing to do with Black people.

This poor lady is doomed

I guess the Snowflakes of today have never heard of “Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn”. When I was in college my first Freshman English professor asked if anyone in the class hadn’t read it. I was one of the few who raised my hand. Her reply was: “It’s too bad some of you missed a great classic”.

My second semester professor not only made it required reading, we had to write papers on “the role of the Mississippi River as a god” in “Tom Sawyer and Huckleberry Finn”.
