Nor ignorant. Though, people who are merely offended were never accused of being ignorant.

I'll reiterate my point. People who call Emily 'racist', are ignorant.

Erm.... when i heard it on the radio i thought a new black guy came in and she said it to charley about him thats why i was so shocked....

But now i dont think its as bad because she said it jokingly but it is still very wrong to even use the word.

Still don't agree, but if that's what you believe then hey, I ain't gonna change your mind am I?

Of course not. The evidence shows that Emily is secure enough in her views to use a controversial word in jest because she intended no malice. Were she a true 'racist', she would have endeavored to avoid that word at all costs, infront of all those cameras and in lieu of the CBB race row, I'm sure.

I think most people agree that it was a 'bad decision' to use the word.

I also think most people have the intelligence not to simplify it as racism when they know the correct conext in which it was said.

I never said she was racist. I disagreed with the point that you said people who say she is racist are ignorant. Everyone does not have the same views as you. Some people do not find it racist, but some people do. Just different views, not ignorance.

I think I can refer my last point to thechosenone to this post too.
