Channel4 pander to false "racist" claims

I think they are covering their backs. The N word has been alleged to have been used before on BB (BB5 – Emma & Victor) but there wasn’t this sort of furrore.

I don’t condone it and I think she is guilty of being naive rather than racist, but they are making an example cos they have to now.

You dont condone the freedom to speak, when what is said is not meant to intentionally offend, and doesn’t offend?

You’re so good Emma

Since when was it deemed that only those at whom offence was aimed were the ones who were offended.

Ever thought the offence may have been felt by tens of thousands of other people- it doesnt matter if the individual is offended.

Earlier today, channel4 completely lost the plot, and bowed down on bended knees to the anti-white fascists who protest RACISM, because a white big brother contestant harmoniously mentioned the N word.

“Emily was dancing with Charley and Nicky in the living room of the Big Brother house at approximately 8.30pm last night.

She was heard to say “Are you pushing it out you nigger?” to Charley.

In discussing what she had said, Charley and Nicky agreed that they were not personally offended, although both did express shock at the language she had used.”

When no offence was intended, and no one was offended and when black people use the word freely, whats the problem? Do we actually have freedom of speech in this country? You do if your not white.

Is channel4 just making sure they dont get the insane bad publicity they got for their innocence in january?

you should change your post Emma… your facts are wrong….

yes she should of been booted from BB, as no matter what contents it was used in its an offensive word…. and if people can actually say its NOT an OFFENSIVE WORD…. well what sad indivuals you are….

Freedom to speak is fair enough. It’s the ignorance to the fact that these things are a sensitive issue I don’t condone. For instance, I’m registered disabled (even though there isn’t much of a problem) I’ve been called spastic before and I’m not too bothered cos it’s a remark born out of ignorance but that doesn’t mean I have to happily accept it.

That would be a reasonable point if we were talking about a scripted soap, but its reality TV, if people are going to be offended by what real people (very strange mentally challenged freaks admittedly tho in the case of BB) are likely to say then they know where the on off switch is

The word cunt is also offensive to tens of thousands of people, but they dont tend to be the sort of people who think they have some special princess status in society and should influence everyone else based on THEIR preferences so the word is used frequently and without whingey whiney folks with nothing better to do complaining about it

Someone COULD be offended at someone using the word “brit”, or at someone stating they are hetrosexual, infact someone somewhere is probably offended by every single thing everyone says

But there has to be a line where complainers are just told to either grow up or switch the telly over and watch something else

The more these whingy pathetic immature idiots are pandered to the more they do it and the more ridiculous their objections have become
