Submitted By Todd on January 12th at 5:42pm
Jon Stewart conducts a debate on whether the plan to replace the word "nigger" with "slave" in Mark Twain's 'Huck Finn' is a good idea.
"Say it's written by Lil' Twain," he joked. "It will be a young adult best seller. Leave Jim alone."
"Look, using that word doesn't make the book offensive to today's kids. They are accustomed to it," Wilmore continued. "If you want kids to pick up a book, emphasize that word!"
