Dear Group:
Do most or many African-Americans still see Huck Finn as racist?  In
retrospect, if Huck had not lied in several instances, Jim would have
been lynched.  No, I am not advocating lying, but I do think it must be
remembered that Huck risked his own safety to save a "Negro", even if he
referred to him in what would be considered pejorative terminology.
