if Ken was just an old dinosaur, from an age when offensive words were more common, then he would have used the other N word, the word Negro was never a common term in this country, in fact as a child of the 70's the only time I ever heard it used was on a programme called Roots about an african slave in the USA, and the term was used by slave masters, you may also hear it in the deep south now, from the most ignorant, but it was never in use in this country I believe he used that word to be controversial, but not the other N word because he didnt want to be kicked out in disgrace My mum was 86 when she died and had early onset dementia and in all my life I never heard her use either word, so his age is really NO EXCUSE WHATSOEVER and does a great disservice to the rest of us who grew up hearing language like that and consigned it to the dustbin of history (in this country) long ago! |

I can only imagine the state of the world if blatant racism and bigotry was allowed to be freely preached from the rooftops, what a disastrous world that would be.

Freedom of speech? Fair enough if it doesn't effect people, but with things such as homophobia, racism and sexism it's not free speech, it's degrading someone else and it absolutely should not be allowed, thankfully racism gets people in trouble these days as to air such an opinion is wrong.

'Free speech' is a myth.It does not exist.Someone is always gonna tell you that you can't say something.The whole concept of free speech is flawed because you are not allowed to say anything that might upset anyone.I liked Ken,He was a breath of fresh air.Even though he was only doing it to get kicked out.He provided some light heartedness amonst all those uptight self obsessed egos in there but BB has rules and he broke them.I wish he was still in there but he did deliberately break the rules of the show so it was'nt unexpected.

Some people live life with rose tinted glasses, if they didn't see it happen, it couldn't have happened, that seems like the case here.
