Another \'Race Row\'
 

He just had to use it.

Well, my poor white trashy self is downright ****ing offended by that..

I think we have to look at the situation it was used in, in the situation theres no need for complaints
However the producers should remind him of the rules incase he says it in a situation which is used to offend someon

Good job coolio aint white then, would have to burn him and his family.

And his dog too Andy.

i am white trash

If a White person said that they would be out of the show.

True, and his house with the dam vile dog in it.

Unless the dog was black, in which case it would be saved.

And the UK would declare war on france.

I love how they wrote it "Celibrity"

just like if a black person used the "white trash" phrase they would be out of the show.maybe its not right but its fair.

Celibrity Big Brither Scandal.. Blick Man uses the N Wird!

It would probably escalate the problem further if they removed him from the house. The bosses are better off being firm with the housemates this year and telling them when they overstep the boundaries.

eee one rule for one and another for another these days isn`t it disgraceful

LOL! You lot are hilarious.

Big Brother should call him into the Diary Room and say..

"Right, N****r... ye can't be usin that word.. ye dig?"

Oh yeah, in that case the "dark dog" was saved and the teacher wrote about it on the chalk board.

Big Brother can only do that if the person at the mic is black though, and they'd have to provide photographic evidence of such.

Nice PC post there Andy.. :thumbs: LoL

Very interesting

Those who correctly identify that a white person would be thrown of the show for using a racially negative term for black people.
But have not complained about the equally "offensive" racially negative term for white people, which has yet to be deleted or even modified by our forum moderators.

I wonder why? and there lies why the confusing contradictions in race rows in this country.
Its those contradictions which are causing the race hate, not so much the words used but who and what are said.... Channel 4 are in a real mess now having thrown out a white contestant from BB8 for exactly the same use of the same word, ridiculous.

You talking about "white trash" Angie?

BTW.. I dunno if the forum censors the N word, but I censored it maself.. cuz it's nasty.

Ofcom would choke on their ethnic coffee if a white person said the N word...

*Chokes Ofcom to death with my "light skinned" hands*

I am a white person... so is it ok for me to say "white trash"?

Oh FFS this is doing my head in now! Ever since this series was even considered, people seemed to keep trying to compare it with last series, WHAT'S THE POINT?! It happened, now it's over and people have calmed down. Past was then, present is now.
I bet since the program started last night they've been going through LF with a bloody nit comb trying to find ANY type of words/situations thot could be deemed as 'racist'. Ok, Coolio said it... but why make MORE of a big deal?! No, I don't agree with the word or anybody who chooses to use it... but rappers like Coolio, afraid to say, do use the word alot in music and even everyday life. If Coolio was to be punished, then almost every person ever involved with Rap music should be too.
For God's sake, why can't they just let it go?!
No thanks to Jade, Jo and Danielle, BB has now become a stigma within reality TV and possibly TV in general, and now for some odd reason viewers and critics seem to EXPECT an offensive racial incident to arise.

I dont konw if its like world wide konwn but another name for a slur to a white person is "cracker"

2 of my mates in college were having a bit of a joke argument like seeing what our teacher woman would say and my mate dan whos black called my other mate a cracker... so my mate kieron called him a ******. The teacher picked up on ****** and he almost got kicked out of college he had to explain what they were doing and the teacher had to talk to dan to see if he was ok with it, so ****ing pathetic.

Either way does he not even get a warning?

The word is used quite a lot in the modern day, like in music and everyday talk between Africans. As far as I know it isn't offensive for a black person to say it.:shrug:

Coolio been using the N word all his life i bet, but the N word being used against another is where it becomes nasty. I remember when emily said the N word and it was never used in a nasty way to attack charley, just bit silly of her to say the word on tv.

The world has gone mad..

Well said.

yep that the word, I personally find that as nasty as the N word, but each to there own.

One things for sure, they are both racial negatives/insults/no-no's but only one will ever be seen in a national newspaper when refering to a race hate row.
Only one will lead to the expulsion of a BB HM providing they fit the right race criterio... thats being white btw.
And only one will be modified on this or any forum as thats the new nature of the game whether I'm black or not I can shout "white trash" at anyone or any post all year round without so much of a warning.
Yet you call me ****** and all hell lets loose, LMAO... and thats the problem ..

why dont we or channel four apply some common sense..if ****** and white trash is bad its simply bad full stop no matter who says it, surely thats racial equality.
Not just predominatly white TV producers "judegment"

It looks like Blacks can say what they want but Whites cant. This seems all wrong. :nono:

I would never say the N word or the P word.

That is really stupid. Sorry if laugh! But if some people think its offensive, It souldnt be used. And hopefully a lot of people are aware of that.
But to he honest, think we are doing really well in todays society. Everyone seem to consider others, and try to change the way they are towards other people. I think we are really lucky to live in our times. Things can only get better.

You speak sense woman. :thumbs:

Yeh it is getting better by far just the odd time where it just ends up really pathetic.. eg the jade/ shilpa thing was not needed to get as big as it did.

ohh and i watched somthing about prisons in america the other day still seem bad between black white and mexican..

LOL, and to prove my point without ANY doubt now, I did not personally edit the N word that was modified for me when posting... yet no such consideration for the white race insult which remains as typed.
There lies the REAL race problem..:sad:
