What is the angriest you have ever been in regards to something

Probably when I learned Lena Dunham had a NYT best seller.

Try again, faggot. Neoliberal identity politics are a direct result of centrist conservacuckery.

I don't think it's that big of a deal to censor the word "nigger", what's so bad about that? I mean they're 12.

>>7795536
Oh Please.
As far as i remember Deepak Chopra and that Who moved my cheese series are also bestsellers. You need to let go of this.

Then, let them fucking read the thing when they grow up. There's not need for them to read it any other way than the author intended it to be read.

>>7795530
We read it freshman year at my high school and nothing was censored. I think you not being aloud to read it in school period is worse than reading it censored though.

Then don't have the book on the library shelf and teach it in class. Either have it or don't.

What you don't fucking do is teach children that censoring works of literature is perfectly acceptable and should be seen as the proper thing to do so that nobody gets offended.

What you don't do is put a system of power over children and have that system push the idea of censoring speech as something that should be a matter of course.

WHAT YOU DON'T FUCKING DO is change a work of literature we a positive overall message to be something far less powerful or meaningful by altering the text so that characters are altered and no longer seen as the way they were supposed to be portrayed.

Supporting censoring literature is the same thing as supporting revisionist history and both are completely deplorable.

You are mad online

You say that, but the whole reason the black guy got into trouble was because he was in the wrong neighborhood spreading the word of Jesus Christ when the KKK showed up and immediately tried to light on him fire, that is when the strong black Atticus Finch saved the poor man by telling those racist whites that they should be ashamed of their privilege.

When the KKK members took aim at Atticus they saw he didn't have a gun, so they put their guns down, recognizing them as the evil things they were, and walked away.

Having saved the day, Atticus went home to his white wife, who, since she married a black man, had proven to be a shining example of American Citizenry and gave her a loving embrace.

I AM GOD DAMNED FURIOUS ON THE INTERNET AND NOTHING CAN STOP MY RAGE!!!

Nah, the left censor shit.

The right might burn it, but would far more likely to just not teach it.

>>7795615
Fair enough. I think the book would be more suited for 8th or 9th graders.

meh it's not like nobody knows it's the word nigger under the blackout. if they'd changed it to "my fine african american fellow" that'd be a different story.

do you also yell at the radio when they beep out bad words?

yuck

Isn't that the autobiography she wrote in which she stated that she raped her little sister by pushing marbles up her cunt?
I hate how feminists get a free pass for doing the most disgusting shit.

>>7795589
That's like cutting scenes out of a film. It's retarded and not the way the author wanted the reader to experience the book

>>7795589

REEEEEEEEE

ITT: things that never happened

there was an interview of a literature major in a local newspaper and she said that tolstoy is too old-fashioned and needlessly for contemporary audience

>>7795530
the fact that you weren't allowed to read it in school because of racial slurs is just as bad. fuck you, OP.

>>7798401
underrated post.

>>7795530

Left here. Do fuck off. I don't blame every rightist for fascism. You'd do well to extend the same sort of courtesy.

We alt right here?

I'm just posting to say that that is the worst and least necessary analogy I've read all year.

Nothing really bad is happening the world of literature today compared to what has happened in the past.

The only problem there could be is "too much".
