“That Guy That I Hang Out With Who Used to Be a Slave” Jim
5th January 2011
The degeneration of our culture in the name of Political Correctness proceeds apace.
Thanks to the intervention of one Dr. Alan Gribben, American kids will no longer be racist after reading Mark Twain’s Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and timorous teachers will now feel comfortable assigning a book that once featured 219 instances (according to Gribben) of the word “nigger.” Gribben’s new edition of Huckleberry Finn will excise all those bits that make people feel uncomfortable—because good literature never, ever makes people feel uncomfortable.
Dr Gribben got his PhD from Berkeley, of course.

The guy has a PhD and doesn’t understand the book??? Amazing. Sad, but amazing. Next, we can remove book burning from “Farenheit 451”, change the setting from a meat packing plant to an open air market in “The Jungle”, and remove all those mean Nazis from “The Rise and Fall of the Third Reich.”
People suck.
People who went to Berkley suck and are proud of it.
