I don't bother with the whole reporting crap your posts should stay in the public domain for everyone to see what your like.

Uncle Tom...

The phrase "Uncle Tom" has also become an epithet for a person who is slavish and excessively subservient to perceived authority figures, particularly a black person who behaves in a subservient manner to white people; or any person perceived to be a participant in the oppression of their own group

People these days hear a word.... Think, ooh that's a bad word and might be offensive even though im not offended I must complain to Ofcom which then makes that caller a racist....FACT.

Religious/Racial words can be used any in type of cotent or situation where racism is 90% not the intention of those words being spoken.

Just banter.

Are you seriously calling me an Uncle Tom because i said i don't mind jokes about my own race?

Are you saying that everyone who laughs at a racial joke about their own race is an Uncle Tom?

Or do you just limit your judgment to black people?

I can picture him now in the privacy of his home or with fellow racists making highly offensive statements about Blacks, Muslims , Polish or anyone who isn't what he deems to be....WHITE.

What a caveman...a real neanderthal.

Furthermore..BB have really messed up with the 'warning's this year...e.g

1) Gina should have recieved a final warning for that disgusting 'race' card she pulled within five seconds of an argument she
was losing with Jemima and instead warned Jemima!!

2) Carol Mcgiffin warned for repeating a bad word when she was merely describing what happend and then bb themselves repeating it!

He clearly didn't intend offence. A warning was fair enough. Now he knows that joke crosses the line for what you can say on national television.

you say that but think about this...if he makes those statements on a national tv programme...THINK what he says in the privacy of his own home!!!!

That's the whole problem..there dosen't seem to be any acknowledgement that what he said is wrong...just a ticking off like a child ...crosses the line???

you mean he should keep his his nasty views but just be careful when to use them?!!?!?:conf:

Well, no. I'd much rather he abandon such thinking altogether. But it is not the job of Celebrity Big Brother to re-educate people nor to fight the good fight against racism. It's an entertainment show. It has certain responsibilities and one of them is ensuring racist language and humor is not used within the house.

A lot of people engage in such humour without really considering what it is they're actually saying with their jokes. Challenging that humour is good (imo) and healthy. Pillorying someone for lazy stereotyping and unintended offence is less helpful. Better to explain why it is offensive and then let them ponder that.

People don't change their minds on something because you go in hard, They change their minds because you give them compelling reasons to do so.

I read about it. Thought it was pretty sad. I didn't much like her calling Hazel a slut and blaming her for being a 'home wrecker' either.

People aren't perfect. I'm quite capable of liking somebody despite some of the stuff they say and do.
