Peter Saliven explains in his article "Is Huck Finn a rasist book?" that for the time it was written, no it wasn't considered to be racist. As the country has evolved and changed that now peopole do think it as a racist book.
Some of the book you just have to understand that it was Mark Twain and that is how he was as an author and comedian. The book explains how it was hard for white people who grow up with people owning black people. Some people at the time who knew it was wrong had to decided to help these people to freedom and risk their own life or do I go against what I believe and let them be. I agree with Peter, that Huck Finn may be a racist book for some people now if they don't understand the time period the book was written in and what was going on in the country at the time.
