Born into Trouble.

The movie Born into Trouble has not influenced me.  I still feel that the novel The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn should be read in classrooms.  The word "nigger" is just a word.  Sticks and stones might break my bones, but words will never hurt me.  The more we fear the word, the more people think that the word is bad.  That was the true language and how people spoke in those times.  "Nigger" was the word used for a slave in Mississippi.  Mark Twain was a realist writer and people need to get over it.
