The trouble is, Ken's generation were brought up using words that younger generations have since been made aware, could have racist connotations. Do I cringe if I hear my mother talking about coloureds? A bit. Do I think she is racist? 100% no. She is being innocent, and in her mind complimentary when she says that half-castes are very beautiful. It's just the label she learned.

Do I feel outrage that in the 70s there was an actual paint colour called n***** brown? I don't. I would if they brought out that paint colour today. Can you imagine if they tried to screen something like "Love Thy Neighbour?"

All I'm trying to say is that these were the words that were politically correct within that generation, and although they are not acceptable today, I know how difficult it is to adapt to new ways of expression sometimes. I think that racism, or any kind of -ism is really offensive if intended to hurt or demean By this token, and apologies for using the word "token", I think the real crime is ignorance rather than racism.

Because he has been accused of being a racist, so he has to explain why he said the "N" word to convince people that he didn't mean it in a racist way. His explanation is that his only mistake was saying that "N" word, and I guess he thought it wasn't anywhere near as the "N" word that rhymes with Tigger. But he was wrong (so far as the rules of Big Brother is concerned)

I also think seeing him on loose women, he knew that word was not acceptable anymore. Is he actually racist or simply trying to stir controversy and make a name for himself? I would go with the latter but the fact he was willing to upset so many people for what he though might earn him some kind of notoriety speaks loads about his character.

I think you hit the nail on the head there. It's not a crime of thought, it is a crime of expression. Anyone can think whatever they like. It's introducing those thoughts publicly *if you are aware you should not do so* that is wrong. (I'm half Arab, and adopted into a white family btw)

That's not valid really. I joined because I am a US BB fan primarily, but I tend to post more in the non-BB posts. The community is much more than BB.

If a friend of mine started calling me Big Nose! So I ask them to stop calling me that because I don't like it. But they say "I don't have to stop calling you Big Nose because it's not offensive" I would twat them. Its all about being sensitive to what people want.

This is the cbb section and this thread is about the current seriesAnd the current series has been quite dramatic so you are more likely to get people posting about CBB here who have never posted about CBB before.....

Yup, and I am watching this series of BB, and am commenting in the relevant thread.

Again, there's something rich about people applying freedom of speech (an American concept) to CBB (a British show)

Wouldn't trying to educate them as to the error of their ways be a wiser response than just "twatting them" as you so eloquently put it?

That is great but i am afriad that is not even close to what we are talking about

ken was evicted for retelling a 20 year old anecdote where he played the character of a early 20th century toff

Sadly this has not been grasped by many on here. Or indeed understood

I don't think he's racist tbh, the things he said were inappropriate and something i personally wouldn't say, but saying a racist word doesn't automatically make someone racist, if that makes sense.

Jose Mourinho
13-01-2015, 07:54 PM
If you read my post i refer to why he was evictedhe was given a warning for using it first time.. he then used it a second time as you have said THAT is the full reason why he was evicted.. not quite as simple as you tried to make it sound.

Oh yes definitely, he was rightly removed (but i think that's what he was hoping for; he already had a warning so only a complete tit would repeat the same word after already being warned)

The circus is started by people who dont believe in free speech

The circus is started by the newspaper and magazine and news channel owners who have only one thing in mind, and that is MONEY, MONEY and MONEY!!! and whatever story that comes along (no matter who's life or lives they can destroy by printing their story/incident), they will do it.

Big Brother is a huge reality show and a good juicy story that creates interest and can make them sell a few more newspapers, etc will indeed be printed, so it is they who start the media circus as people believe what they read. So if the headlines say Ken Morley is a Perv and a Racist, they will print that and very gladly, so naturally Ken has to defend himself, or what Perez said in the house could indeed come true

...because what we are really talking about is the failiure of most people to grasp the true character of an early 20thC toff.
