About the word nigger.
Ya know - it is a reality show.
It is a word. It was at one day in time - what they were called.
No big deal.
For example.
My white - god fearing church going mother was diagnosed with Alzheimers.

One day I was pushing her wheel chair through a large department store and in her FINAL stages of Alzheimer’s at 75 years old in 2003 - she saw a black woman with her black child and as sincere as she could feel and express her compliment she said:
“Oh look at that cute little nigger baby”.
The lady did an exorcist head spin and stared at my mother and I.
I simply said “my mother has Alzheimer’s and she thinks you have a cute baby”. The lady frowned ( if looks could kill!) walked away and later came up to my mom and shared her beautiful child with my Mom. My mom smiled.
Maybe the woman thought about the date in time - my Moms age - and like the innoscence of a child - so was the honesty of an elder person without all of her faculties.
We are all on this “treadmill” to walk, talk, judge, condemn, refer to, any and all of who we might be otherwise.
IF NOT tied to the treadmill of what OTHERS WANT US TO BELIEVE who WOULD we be?

In this day and age the use of such words as nigger should not deemed offensive, nigger in my understanding an old word used for slaves, how many 200 year old slaves are still kicking about?…..
without the slave trade negroes would still be stuck in the shithole which is Africa.
i for one am proud of my ancestry and the diversity the slave trade has brought to the black cultural table, the poor bastards in zimbabwe, somalia etc would jump at the chance for a way out, they cram themselves into boats to escape everyday, Africa is an uneducated backwards thinking country where pain and tyranny are commonplace, it’s overcrowded and has many problems , imagine the state of Africa today if no blacks had ever been taken from their homeland and placed throughout the globe

This PC stuff is just getting stupid now. I’m black, and feel sorry for Emily for being evicted in such cicumstances. Nigger is just a word. Words have meanings, but these differ in different contexts. If I were called an idiot for doing something silly, would that be so terrible…No. If I were called an idiot for accidentally doing something wrong if I were retarded, would that be out of order…Yes.

Sometimes we just need to forget all this PC crap and use our common sense. Sadly though, this seems to be in short supply.

I disagree Paul. Profanity is allowed in the house, no action would be taken for calling another housemate a cunt. However, once you add a racial element to it e.g. honky cunt, stupid cracker, fucking nigger, it then becomes more of a racial slur. I think what made it worse was that they hardly knew each other. It would have been a different story if they had been long time friends. Its also unfair to say “Black people should just stop calling each other that” or “If they can use it why can’t we” not all blacks use the word and the ones that do are either uneducated and or hip-hop artists. Not really the smartest bunch or role models we should be emulating.

And Rickie, if I was in that situation and had a personality like Charley’s, I would use the situation to my advantage as well. Its a game show, £100000 at stake, one less contestant means a greater chance for her. Plus she also comes out looking like a victim, though from the posts on this site that seems to have backfired for her.

Jon has a rather mixed understanding. Action may have been taken if Charley had called Emily a “white cunt”, but I assure you not because Charley had commented on the colour of Emily’s skin, instead for the use of profanity. Incidentally, words such as “cunt” are without race, albeit anglo-saxon in origin, so cause equal offence to black and white when used as a derogative.

Learning to see something, as Jon suggests, from an EDUCATED person’s perspective, implies there is a CORRECT viewpoint and an INCORRECT one. Is he the one to decide this for us? Not for me, thanks.

It’s not just a word, and it baffles me that some of you can sit there and say it is . If your ancestry were enslaved and degraded on the basis of their race. Then I’m sure you’d take much offence to someone insulting your ancestry. Until you learn to see it from an EDUCATED person’s perspective, I advice you to stop saying it’s acceptable.

It has nothing to do with freedom of speech, because I’m sure equal action would’ve been taken if Charley called Emily a “white cunt”.

I am half-cast, (although i think the PC phrase is now dual heritiage), I have friends who call me a half-bake, I have friends who really make fun because my ethnicity is Asian and I cant stand the smell of any curry, let alone eat it, does this make them racist? No it makes them people who dont sit of the fence of political correctness. I have been victimised because of the colour of my skin. There is a huge difference between being racist towards someone and having a laugh with someone. I find it truely offensive that Charley tried to use the “race card” for her own gain.

I felt very angered towards Charley when the incident of Emily using the work Nigger caused Emily to be removed from the big brother house. Charley used the situation for her own gain, she was not offended by the comment, but made such an issue out of it after the event. Emily was called out of bed in the middle of the night, if Nicky and Charley were not still discussing it hours later, and kept going on about it, i feel that Emily would not have been removed from the house.

Charley also used the work Nigger, Charley has also had rants at Channelle calling her “white trash and Chalky” is calling a white person Chalky not racist? Why has Charley not been removed from the house? Is this not a double standard??????

Charley commented the next day that she would be all over the papers.

Charley very proudly states, she doesnt work, yet states she is always out partying. As for what I have seen on Charley, she appears to be very rude and ignorant towards other people feelings, she just shouts over people all the time and full of her own self importance.

Molly is right, Charles is not even a full nigger, he is a half-caste, so why all the fuss I cannot imagine.

Charley to win. She is a true black role model.

She has expensive clothes, lots of money, a new car and hits the clubs every night.

All that even though she does not work and never has done except for a bit of stripping, and she was sacked from that.

The clear message is for all third worlders is to come to England and scrounge and sleep all day and you will get everything given to you

This is the biggest load of bollacks I’ve ever heard. If its wrong to call a black person a nigger, then its equally wrong for a black person to call a white person a honkey. Both words are used to infer a person is inferior to the person using the term, therefore it must be equally offensive.

The word cannot be derogatory if it its perfectly acceptable for a black person to call another black person it, but it is deemed to be racial discrimination for a white person to say the same thing.

Why?

Furthermore it is racial discrimination to allow black people to do something that white people can’t.

When looking at the word itself, it originally denoted the nationality of a Nigerian person, so why do black people call non Nigerian people niggers?

Are we to have two English languages one for whites and one for blacks?

Why does anyone, either black or white, have to make reference to a persons colour in this day and age? It is not necessary.

Why do the MOBOs exist, if there was a white only award it would be racist?

To change the subject slightly, why has Charlie not been evicted for bullying because that is also against the rules.

Offensive to whom? Acceptable to whom?
Blacks say it is offensive, yet it is acceptable for Blacks for their use.
Blacks that are viewed as role models should be broken in half for using it. Everywhere…from locker rooms to recording studios….
Stop already……….you can’t be selective……
