no, as that word has a different meaning. In fact, it isnt even in the same ballpark of what you said.

Really? I was completely unaware. /sarcasm

I was mocking your political correctness; I find it a bit strange. The character is referred to as "N-word" Jim. The fact is that the character concept doesn't really work with a white actor.

But of course, since that word is so bloody offensive, we probably should ban and burn all copies of the trashy work under discussion. Then no children will ever be exposed to Twain's evil ever again.

Don't be over dramatic here...we should actually exhume Twain and burn him at the stake!! /extreme total and utter sarcasm at your drama queen act

When you post back to me, look under the tag-line. It says:

Please: NO profanity, NO personal attacks, NO racism or violence in posts.


As I have said, WE all know who and what Jim is. You don't need to reinforce it. And Yes I do find that word offensive.

IMO Huck Finn is the greatest piece of fiction ever written by an American. I think it would be ok for N-Bomb Jim to be played by a caucasian. Now, I haven't seen any productions of Huck Finn recently and I wonder is N-Bomb Jim now referred to as Just Plain Jim these days? I dunno.
