Alternative Assignment

This video was very interesting to me. I am not much for Comedy Central, so this was my first time having ever seen anything like this. The simple idea of changing the word "nigger" to "slave" in Mark Twain books is just outstanding and unbelievable. Having never read any Mark Twain novels, I would not be able to say that I know exactly how much he uses the word but I do know it should be left alone. Many people in the past have been known to try and change history in their benefit. People like Hitler! I personally do not think this is right, ever. Even though the word nigger may be frowned upon, it does not mean that it should be erased from history. Many things that are frowned upon haven't been erased. For this reason, I dislike that idea. Beside that, I laughed at the video and found that the writers were very talented at picking words.
