Which novel by A. Christie was renamed due to the offensiveness and published as "And Then There Were None"?

Americans seem to think this was a universally pejorative word. It just did not have the same strength of feeling outside the US. Although I don't think it was ever a positive word.

When I think of how far this country has come as a whole it often makes me think of just how little it takes to divide us. When I think about the book written by Dr. Maya Angelou, "I Know Why the Caged Bird Sings." I must say intelligence goes further than a full tank of gas. Another great book to read is titled, "The Cocoa Plantations America's Chocolate Secret...forced child labor..."

So thankful it was re-named!

The funny thing is that the N word is used between African-Americans as a term of comradeship. Niger the Latin root simply means dark.

Gerran, hello and just so that you are correctly informed not all brown or black people of which l am use this term. l know that this applies to anyone without the ability to create a conscious thought. l think that it's sad that some still use the word however that is their choice. l don't allow it from anyone 😣 personally period.

Jo Aldridge, the word originated to describe one's ethnicity. Slavery in America made the word it is today not the word it self.

This book speaks volume about America! This is so SAD! ☹️☹️

Player #3093136, All words start out in neutral form. Its application by certain peoples to denigrate others and class them as less than human—which is still happening today, not just in history—will forever be linked with the word that used to just mean “black.” It’s not such a divisive word outside America because there are fewer negative connotations associated with it there. And while some think it’s ok to make fun of yourself or your own race, we, as a family of color, think it’s reprehensible for young Black people to make light of a term that has caused so much suffering to their own ancestors.

I've not heard of a Christie

A great book! Although the new title gives a lot of it away.

Gerran, actually it means king

casualobserver, GodBless!

I heard of ten little Indians.

I hate that word!!

it also has a different meaning as, "selfish"-- Shakespeare used it often to re: those who were selfish and ignorant.....at any rate, the word, now, should not be repeated in any context..... it is, and will remain, a pejorative... a vile and nasty word it is.

Gerran, Not funny. It makes me cringe to hear people use it. When a student in any of my classes would use it they learned real hard from their peers not to.

Player #29684811, People today still use n the word and know that negro is Spanish, streaming from Latin, for black. They don't mean to be kind about it either. I have never lived in the south but the wild West.

charlotte, good luck with that attitude!!!

Under Dog, The word didn’t divide people by its use alone it was cover to act out radical racial deeds with impunity for over 300 plus years.

Player #3093136, But do you think it has positive energy to be describe in those terms?

KK, excuse * but im educated

Player #13956508, I'm more familiar with the Indian one myself

Jo Aldridge, yeah I know what you mean!! it's a shame innit?!
