Daily Show - Mark Twain Freewrite

Overall, the video did make valid points concerning the revised version of Mark Twain's "Huckleberry Finn" changing the word 'nigger' to 'slave'.  I, personally, think that having the word in the literature creates an idea of what times were like during the period that many slaves were of African descent.  The word 'nigger' has always been a disrespectful name to call someone as such, so with the consistent mentions of the word being placed in the book, there is definitely the idea that slaves were not respected as much as they should have been.  The comical approach to the entire ordeal, though, really made me laugh.  Although the revised book would be more accessible to viewers who are younger and who may take offense to the word, the impact of using the word so many times in a way that is not inappropriate would have a more profound impact on the reader.
