“Roger Ebert Crosses The Line W/The ‘N’ Word”

The ReadyWriter

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.

Ebert responded to the ‘Huck Finn’ announcement on Wednesday by tweeting to his followers, “I’d rather be called a Nigger than a Slave.”

The tweet set off a storm of heated feedback toward the influential critic, some saying he was “disrespectful” and “ignorant.”

Others believe Ebert thinks he’s allowed to take such liberties with the “N” word because his wife, is black.

After the fall-out from his comment, Ebert retracted his statement by conceding  “he would never be called either word so he should have just shut the fuck up”.

I wanna hear from y’all, was Roger Ebert out-of-place?

Oh and… thanks to loyal reader “HeavyC” for the story tip…

His name is Robert Butler (pictured here) and he went on a shooting rampage at his high school yesterday. But before doing so, he posted a chilling message on his Facebook page warning them of the attack and blaming the school for driving him to violence.

Butler, 17, burst into an office at Millard South High School in Omaha, NE, during school hours and fired four to five shots, striking the assistant principal and the principal before fleeing in his car and eventually committing suicide about a mile from the school, Omaha police said.

Assistant Principal Vicki Kaspar (L), 58, died at a hospital hours later. The principal, Curtis Case (R), 45, was reported in serious but stable condition.

No students were injured in the shooting.

Isn’t Butler (pictured above) the cutest kid? Which goes on to show you that the devil will use anyone to kill, steal and destroy!!

Butler’s friends and family were left dumbfounded by the attack and struggled to explain what drove the boy, described as fun-loving and energetic, to his gruesome end.

According to the Daily Mail, Back, who committed suicide on Christmas Day, wrote in her Facebook status, “Took all my pills be dead soon bye-bye everyone.”

What followed was a series of callous posts from some of Back’s Facebook friends “Some of the Facebook friends posted messages calling her a liar and one said it was ‘her choice’.

Seventeen hours later, police broke down the door of Back’s flat on Montague Street, in Brighton, and found her dead.

Back’s mother told the Daily Mail that none of her daughter’s online friends attempted to help her in person.
