I would probably address it in the way where we read the book with it in, but just skip over saying it. If my class was mixed and the African American students approached me and said that it didn't bother them, I might consider having a discussion with all the students as it does teach valuable lessons about the past. However, I would not directly try to bring about this discussion.
Although I feel that it is an important part of the book, I don't feel fit using it as it is another race's. It would be like some other friend of yours trying to get in or make jokes about something you and your best friend have (except in the case of the n-word, it would be a more serious topic). Some things just belong to certain culture's or races, and I think it is better to leave certain things and not integrate that particular nuance into all cultures.
