    Twain was actually very forward thinking for his time. As for using the "n" word in his books, it was how black people were referred back then. It's a harsh fact but you can't change what happened back then.

    Only by reading such books do you fully realize how far we have come in the last 60 years. I grew up in the deep South and I did not think we would progress as far as we have in such a short time.

    They were a product of their time and display the views of the time. Or if they were a massive racist and they nutted to racist works, they would like them too.

    I would enjoy reading them in front of the though police since they are so sensitive. I want them to cry and run to their pathetic safe spaces.
