For the last year or so I have been reading Louis L'amour books. My Mom picks 'em up at flea markets and such for me for a buck a piece. Well, she dropped me off a sack full a week ago and I found a Zane Grey in the mix. Published in 1936 first printing. It's a decent enough story about a cattle drive, a bad man, a gun slinger and a girl, just like most of 'em. What prompted this post is the vernacular. It's no wonder Zane Grey works aren't found in Barnes and Noble and such. Hell, you couldn't find one in a library I'd bet. No, there aint hardly a cuss word in there but the term "niggah" is used frequently when referencing the cook.
This got me to thinking and I'll bet ya you can go to a school library tomorrow and find a shopping cart full of reading material with every foul word ever uttered on the seven seas but not one damn printing of a classic from the early 1900s or late 1800s that had the N word in it.

Where I'm headed with this is, our history is being covered up or distorted.
Just like the Germans want to deny the Holocaust and the Japanese want to deny the treatment of the other Asians during WW2, we are trying to deny the slavery of the years of the development of our country. Our genocide of the Native American. We have our proud moments, some not so proud but by GOD it happened, it is history, it is chronicled. Just like Pearl Harbor, let us never forget!
