Why It Aint Cool To Lose Flavor

With this blog I pretend to use hypothetical examples to show how censuring “Nigger” from Mark Twain’s The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn would destroy its essence. So I asked for various opinions regarding this controversy and here are some responses:

“It’s like eating a hotdog without sausage”- Nicolas Zuleta

“ Its like going to Paris and not visit les champs elysees”- Anonymous

“ Its like being sober during new years eve”- Barnard "Barney" Gumble (Simpson’s alcoholic)
