... that censorship isn't a new concept. The point I was making was that in our enlightened world, in our First Amendment driven civilization, we still must ban book based upon racial wording.

The thing is: The words used in Ulysses were accepted back then. The words used in Shakespeare were acceptable for their time. The words used by Sam Clemens (Mark Twain) were accepted in their time. It is only the later generations that censored them for their word content.

Now, if you want to get into the details of certain other types of censorship, say for political reason, rather than racial ones, then we can bring up Socrates, Plato, Curie and other such names.

However, the works of Plato, Aristotle and the like are now widely renowned and our scientists are building our society upon them today.

My words are not intended to offend. They are merely examples of how the books were written. If anyone does get offended by my examples, then perhaps you need to look at your own self-image and your own security and address your own issues.
