Alternative Assignment

In the video "The Today show with Jon Stewart-Mark Twain Controversy" both speaker's tried to have a lighthearted angle to the issue. It starts off with Jon Stewart introducing the book and the "main" overview of it, then he dives into the fact that today people want to change the word "ni****" to "slave" in this literary classic. Stewart plays around by saying "it's a trick question" which I think it is too. The guest appearance by Larry Wilmore definitely made the show. He explains how it's not a big "upgrade". Today people believe students struggle saying the n word which I agree because you never know how it plays with other's like Stewart says "IT'S UNCOMFORTABLE". Larry Whitemore was deifnitely lightheaded in the subject being a black man but he made it hilarious. What stuck in my mind was how he said "slave" was a job description and that the boy couldn't run away from being a "nig***". The funny twist with using Lil Wayne was also memorable.
