Derogatory Language in Literature

I feel that they should leave it alone because it is a part of history. History is history, we can't change what is in the past but I do feel that we need to be careful when talking about this kind of subject. For me personally, I feel a little bad when I read about stuff like this. It was truly horrifying what the people that got called these awful names had to go through. None of us truly knows what it felt like to be called those names and what it was like to experience all the hate and torture. I don't believe that books like this one need to be banned. For one, they are apart of history, two, the author made such a strong tone to the reader when writing these books. So why tear the author down and destroy their work? We still do , however, need to be considerate of people who get offended or uncomfortable about this topic. No matter what happens in the future, I don't think that we will ever forget what happened back in the days of the "n" word. It really is unforgettable.
