One of my favorite sentences in the "Adventures of Huckleberry Finn" book is: "I could say the multiplication table up to six times seven is thirty-five, and I don't take no stock in mathematics, anyway".
When Mark Twain wrote "The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn," he regularly used the n-word about "Jim," whom he otherwise described in the kindest terms. Twain certainly had character flaws, but he was personally aware of many of them, and I don't think he should be described as a racist; by the standards of his time, he would be seen as astonishingly broad-minded and liberal. Nevertheless, knowing how the n-word has been used within a society afflicted by systemic racism, a person with any ordinary feelings of respect for fellow-creatures would refrain from using it today.
