I once wrote an editorial that referenced the name of the slave in “Huckleberry Finn,” but I had to write around it, just as I am now. The mere sight of the word was deemed too hurtful and inflammatory. The character is portrayed sympathetically, but context didn’t matter. If there is a controversy swirling around the use of this word, most newspapers will describe the word, but won’t print it. Is this reasonable or cowardly? Some people are calling newspapers in America and abroad “cowards” for not printing some Charlie Hebdo cartoons as an act of solidarity against the terrorist attack/Gary Crooks, SR Smart Bombs.
