发帖数: 23482 | 1 Roger Ebert Gets Fired Up Over 'Huck Finn' Censorship, Then Apologizes
Almost 101 years after Mark Twain died, one of his most famous works is
causing controversy once again, only this time on Twitter. After news broke
Tuesday that publisher NewSouth will release a new edition of 'The
Adventures of Huckleberry Finn' with all 219 N-words excluded, movie critic
Roger Ebert reacted with a controversial tweet. He quickly apologized after
receiving harsh criticism.
Ebert responded to the 'Huck Finn' announcement on Wednesday by tweeting to
his 300,000-plus followers, "I'd rather be called a N***** than a Slave."
The tweet set off a storm of heated feedback toward the influential critic,
describing him as "disrespectful" and "ignorant."
"Fair point, from some1 who's likely to be called neither," @urbanbohemian
said.
Others accused Ebert of believing he's allowed to take liberties with the
word because his wife, Charlie "Chaz" Hammel-Smith, is black.
"R U OUT OF UR freakin head? jus cos ya wife is black dont give u the right
to throw tht word around like its nothing. A*******" @iamichelle said.
Ebert retracted his statement Thursday by conceding that, as people like @
urbanbohemian pointed out, he would never be called either word.
"You know, this is very true. I'll never be called a N***** *or* a Slave, so
I should have shut the **** up," Ebert tweeted.
