What's the difference between removing the racism from a book written by someone for whom that was the norm for his place and time, and removing the misogyny and "ghetto-ness" (for lack of a better term) from rap music performed by someone for whom that attitude was the norm for HIS place and time? I might find both offensive but I don't think it's wise to censor either form of expression.
