Im sorry but I dont agree.
He is not decrepid or suffering from Alzheimers or any form of Dementia, therefore he is well aware (unless he's been living in a mountain cave for the last 50 years) that this kind of language is not acceptable and never has been in our lifetime, no matter how many people used it in the 60's & 70's
We are no longer ignorant enough to think that terms used by Slave Masters are an acceptable way to reference a black person, and neither is Ken.
He seems to be on a crusade against political correctness, something I hate, but using slave terms against a black housemate, is not politically INcorrect, its ignorant and intentionally nasty
Do I think he should have been thrown out for saying it, part of me does, but I also loved the way Alexander handled it, he brought him down to the size of the man he really is, that was good TV!
