I Am So Sick Of This Racist Thing
Right firstly Emily was just trying to communicate with Charley . 2 Series of Big Brother have been effected by racism , I think tomorow we will see a few new housemates eneter the house to drift the press off the topic . I think this racial incedint comes from Emilys love of music and this is a way she could connect with Charley . They where dancing just having fun .
ah well , I Just hope this small incident does not take over the series |
It's like anything.. this is the first bit of big news to come from the series so far. Channel 4 have to be careful after CBB and Emily may or may not have realised what she said.. I'm shocked she said it but I'd prefer to see how it was said on the show tonight, if they show it at all.

I love music to. But that doesn't mean I go around calling my coloured friends what Emily called Charley.

It won't take over the series, because she's gone and that's that.

the point isnt whether she meant it or not.. the point is that she said it and if channel 4 did not act upon it then they'd be in big trouble this time round. channel 4 made the right decision and people should be careful when they use such words.

Im sorry i think racism is poo i dont believe in it if these rappers can use the N word in their music and call it each other then why should it be a problem when a white person uses the word

I think it's a bit silly, I've seen people say worse on other tv shows. The only reason emily has been booted out is because bb is just back on our screen but the skin of its teeth and they had to be harsh.
My view: If they had of practiced their anti-rasicm scheme whilst their precious Ms. Goody was in the house none of this would have happened. Davina said on charlotte church that she hoped it wouldnt be like this and it is!! |
[/quote]She was just tying to communicate with Charley? Emily used that word due to her love of music? I'm afraid you're going to have to explain your logic. I'm baffled. [/quote]
Basically the logic of his comment was that she didn't mean it to be racist or offensive. Which she didn't nobody took offense. Charley turned around and said in the conversation 'I'm a *****'... Basically nobody has seen it aired so nobody can say it was meant in a racist way |

And so what if music artists use it in their songs there not dilberately saying it to hurt someone. Where as Emily was last night. Its a completely different thing here. Amy I think you be on our side and not be on Emily's when she said a racist comment. I dont think anyone would say something like that if they were joking around and to me and everyone else here it looks she was being serious using that word. |

Guess we won't see a BB9... |
Its clear to see that BB was and is now going to stamp on anyone who says a racist term. And rightly so..... they have had their knuckles rappedover CBB and certainly didnt want to come any where near what happened in January.
And to be fair...contestants should have known this. |

Okay, so next time I want to communicate with a black person, I'll be sure to call them a ******, right?

She was quoting on Black-Culture, I don't belive she said '******'... I beleive '*****' will be the phrase said. Two intirly different things. ****** offensive noun, ***** adjective |

First of all, I have to point out that I'm of Jamaican ancestry. Now, this word was a word that I grew up hearing over and over again. No one uses this word like my mother. Trust me. The whole point is that - when black people use this word we know what we are saying. When a a white person uses this word we don't know what they're saying. So my advise to white people is to avoid using this word in the presence of a black person because we don't know what you're trying to say by using this word. It's double standard, I know, but it's like telling racist jokes. Jewish people can tell Jewish Jokes, black people an tell black joke. Basically, if you're not one then avoid anything that could be construed as racist. |
I really don't want to start a fight, but there has been a lot of talk about the fact that simply using the word ****** is offensive no matter what the motive or context.
Yet I've seen a few people use the term "coloured" in a few different threads. This term is actually considered quite offensive as well these days. Maybe not as inflammatory as the "n" word but still considered to be inappropriate: Quote:

So your saying she just went up to Charley an called her a ***** in a nasty way? Coz am sure Charley would of knocked seven shades of Sh**t out of her if that was the case....If somone is innocently singin one of these rap songs an ***** is part of the song then who's to blame? i say the very people that dont like racism themselfs is the people that cause it half the time

Communicate through her love of music? I love music. Would never dream of doing something like this! N****r is a slang word used in a derogatory way against black people. P*ki is also one. Are these acceptable words to refer to people as? So if I said "You pushing it out you p*ki", is that acceptable too?
|
But I also have a feeling that if Charley had called Emily 'white trash' (which could be considered offensive and obviously isn't true in Emily's case anyway but IF), there wouldn't have been much said about it.
