This was not the case with Emily, she claimed to be highly intelligent, she was not ignorant. She knew the meaning of the word. And yes, clearly she is a racist bigot. There was absolutly no need for that word to be used in that context and it just "slipped" out of her - as she admitted she and her friends call each other the word all the time (at their KKK meetings most likely!) LOL!

If you were listening, she said that it was her friends, who were black who threw it around, and this is plausible because there are some who feel they are reclaiming the N word.
Where are you getting that she is a racist bigot? Unattributed sources from the gutter tabloids, hardly a credible source.
For your information, The KKK was a movement in the southern United States and never made it across the Atlantic because it's origins were from the aftermath from American Civil war (See here)

and sticks, stop exagerating about how we want her executed or tarred and feathered (zzz) or comparing this to a Roman Colleseum. These are all your words not mine and you claim that you sense this is what I want from the "tone" of my posts - you are wrong. I'm happy that Emily was removed (even though I wasted 2£ trying to evict her before) but I don't wish her to be mutilated, executed or thrown into the firey depths of your imaginery hell.

I am using something called Satire which sometimes is the only way to get a point across and make people realise the logical conclusion of what they are saying. It is a standard debating tactic.
As for the Roman Colosseum, if you do a search on TIBB you will find I have used this comparison before, because people here go overboard and take to being personal about HM's and wishing them actual harm which is in breach of forum regulations. I have seen so much bile over the years of Big Brother that I find it easy to spot, and it is not very edifying or pleasant. They end up baying for blood, as if they were in the Roman Colesseum, so I think the comparison is quite valid.

Ever heard that saying?

Yes I have
And for the record I was totally neutral on the pair who were up. I did not support any of them, my annoyance is that Channel 4 chose to put this word into the public domain. It was obvious it was not a repeat of CBB, the people affected were handling it and bringing the perpetrator into line and nobody on the outside had seen it as it was not on the live feed. There was no need to do this, and we would not be dancing around a racially offensive word, seeing it in acres of newsprint.
This was heavy handed and a knee jerk reaction just so C4 can gain a few brownie points
922 people rang and complained to point this out, that is 922 real data points, not anonymous and unreliable on-line opinion polls. So what do we hear, that they must be members of the BNP. Who is doing the assuming there?

Don't patronise me. If you had been more observant you would have noticed I put a "LOL!" after my KKK comment, meaning I was JOKING. I know my history, do you honestly think I was SERIOUS about Emily belonging to the KKK club?
Don't take everything so literally and stop analysing everything I say - I actually purposely mentioned this to see what kind of analyitical nonsense you would come out with LOL. Fun.
"Where are you getting that she is a racist bigot?"
The fact that many people have testified against her and given their full name and details of racial abuse from Emily in the past - some of which in front of lots of witnesses at her college. Who are YOU to say they are lying?
Also the fact that she called a black girl a NI**ER to her face is proof enough for me and the rest of the country, hence the reason she was booted out of BB, hence the reason her family are disowning her over it and hence the reason she was grovelling and crying on BBLB last night, saying sorry over and over again.
922 people complained that Emily was kicked out for racism. 46,000+ people complained that Shilpa was racially abused in CBB. I think the war against racism is winning - and I know which side I am on. Do you?
It's time to stamp out racism and I stand strong against it.
