    Why use that description of race? It’s the word used back then, but not today.

      I believe its being used in the same contextual format as it would the time period of Uncle Tom, similarly to how quotes work.

      You shouldn’t censor history.

        No, but it’s a shower thought. If it were a quote, I wouldn’t have said anything.
