N word

Some of the greatest literature that America has produced should as To Kill a Mockingbird contains some of words that are considered as offensive racial words. Today these books are often banned due to the racist language in them or the offensive language is simply been changed into other word that is acceptable by today’s standard. For example, the N-word in Mark Twain’s books is now change to the word slave. As in my point of view, I found changing the original text of the book to be insulting to the writer that the language is not been used for discriminating against racial group, instead it is just been used to describe how people act in the past. People can’t just deny the fact the African American were once discriminated badly against in the past that the word can never be erased from history. Although people claim that these book should be banned so that children won’t learn to use these kind of offensive terms, with teacher or parent’s guidance, students should know the meaning behind these word and let them understand why these words were bad and discriminating instead of just trying to cover it up. These words are just used to portray the reality in the past.
