Emily said it in a joking way, so they say???

As we only have the transcript, it looks that way. But seeing & hearing is much better, of course.

The "N" word is considered to be a Racist word.

Emily is NOT a racist housemate, however, in that moment of madness, it just popped out of her mouth.

Accidentally.

What's Charley going on about? How on earth is using "N*gga" as term of endearment is more offensive than being called a "black bitch"? :puzzled: I don't understand the mentality that if Emily says it all the time that somehow makes it worse. Surely if she calls her black friends "n*ggas" it helps to explain why she dwas comfortable with saying it. I've been starting to respect Charley the last couple of days but she is being totally hypocritical over the incident.

that whole debate the housemates had seemed very much like some of them saw an opportunity to get public votes......

plus charley saying she would never use that word made me quite angry.....as she HAS used that word......quite a few times.

dOc

uh, yeh it is a racist word.

lol "moment of madness" - it all seemed pretty calm to me. what are you on about

so why are Charley and Nikki still there?
(any use of that word....even in discussion is not acceptable)

so are you saying that it's fine for a black and asian person to say the word.....and not a white person.....

:conf2:

moment of madness = she thought she was with her friends

Even if the word was used descriptively or whatever it shouldnt be used at all, its a horrible word and it shouldn't be used even if you know the person, and especially if you hardly know them

Even if she as with her friends, it still wouldn't be ok.

And, how do you know she thought she was with her friends. Because i think she was well aware she was in the BB house.

Who's to say she has black friends anyway.

She said in the diary room when explaining she wasn't racist that she has black friends.

She thinks "black people are great"

the amount of times i've heard that line "im not racist, i have black friends" - its a classic

I've heard that before too. My sisters best mates boyfriends dog once chased a black man so I can't be racist. It's the stupidest argument in the world.

My point is who'd to say that she actually does have black friends. She may know one black person on a casual basis.
