What amazes me is that when discussing Twain the people opposed to him do
not see what I see.  I see a man who did not like the predjudice he saw and
when ever he used the "N " word, the people he had using it were usually
lees educated and less intelligent than many of his other characters.  Many
times the people were just using it out of ignorance rather han a feeling
going along with the word.
