At the time that was not deemed relevant, it was the word itself being used which led to the descision.
Fast forward 18 months and now we have yet another double standard on race and BB.
I personally could'nt give a toss what some old has been rapper wants to say or do, I dare say he refers to his lady friends as bitches and hoes and wishes his best buddies gansta popped at christmas, the guy as far as I'm concerned is a highly paid circus act.
What I do get annoyed about is the standards TV execs (usually white middle class men) set on race, as to protect the poor offended black person from certain words whites say...yet allow white people or even mice to judge themselves whats offensive or not, all that does is make matters worse and we have a socierty that thinks racism is only a charge white people can be guilty of and in that socierty its no wonder Coolio (if you say so) has been brought up being called a n***** it seems a word for him alone is a perfect description.

Simple. A white person saying the word poses a much greater
potential threat to the show. Plus Emily was saying it to Charley. Again, more room for
possible offence. And as the show had to be protected, Emily was evicted.
It is all about context.
We can all say the word if we want, so in the interest of fairness, a white person can say it all they want too, like Coolio, I have to stress that point, just be prepared to have to accept much harsher concequences for your idiotic actions.
As for the rest of your argument, I shant even try and make sense of it.
