Quand il pleut, il pleut

..I thought that the whole conversation was one of the most interesting BB conversations..and so often we don't get that anymore in HL's/just all of the drama, conflict and argumenst etc..and then they gave him a warning/caution or whatever it was...just silly really...

2. He was explaining why he used it. Doesn't stop it being racist, and his explanation backed up the fact that it was being used in a derogatory fashion. 3. That's what anyone who is racist would say, although I know that's not what you meant. |

2. it wasn't racist. he basically said the same thing that chris rock has said hundreds of times in his act, do you think chris rock is racist? 3. he's clearly not racist.

I don't care what colour he is.If it's a racist word then it's a racist word.Either everyone can use it or nobody can.BB can't start being selective about who obeys which rules.

but that also it can be used as an ironic and affctionate term between black people as a term of endearment. the same way, some parents might call their children "little piggy" it sounds offense on the outside, and if you called a woman at work "little piggy" they would be horribly offended, but if it's used in an affectionate way in a family, it's not offensive.

Saying black people can say 'x' word but white people can't is discrimination based on colour in itself.

I'm sorry, but stop being ignorant and listen to my point. This is why people don't bother explaining things to people like you.

words exist in a context, and especially a word that has an emotionally value for black people means there is a different meaning when a black person uses it. words do not exist in a vacuum the way that numbers do. language is about how words are used and what the intention of the speaker is, they are not all just individual entities the way numbers are. a number has a certain value, and nothing can change that single number's value. but words are meaningless without context, so context does matter.

As I said, its all in your usage and your intention behind it, he was saying that it can be a general purpose derogatory term. With that many connotations behind the word, none of them good, there is no justification for using it. |

i really don't see why using the phrase "the n-word" is any less offensive than saying the word ******. as long as you aren't calling someone that.

if they were so concerned, why didn't BB stop him after he said the word twice.
Why did they let him go on and on. And on? |

you can tell when the producers are mad and upset with a housemate, and they clearly were not upset with him over it. and good for him for not making a big deal over the caution.

..isn't that though why BB should not stifle and 'caution' these conversations...because it all gives us better understandings ..?...I always thought that because it's history of a white person using it of being derogatory and 'superior' then it's never acceptable for a white person to use it but by a black person using it to another black person as a term of 'buddy/friend/brother' etc...it was taking away any 'negative power' so therefore, reclaiming the word in a positive way..see, these things are things that need to be discussed really I think....

Holla, Fruit Loop Dingus!

i had no problem with it and i agree with others it was one of the more interesting real conversations recently. i also cant stand saying the n-word as well. as long as its not used in a malicious way. like relaying it back that someone was saying it without getting their panties in a bunch.

Again, like I've been saying the truly worrying part to me was how she followed up "I'm not really attracted to black guys" with "well mixed race is okay," as if another race needs to be present to balance out the blackness. Whether or not you find that racist, it's definitely racially insensitive (as is boldly assuming that Gina should understand since she's probably only attracted to black guys.)

I didn't see the need for a caution, they just jumped on it for controversy, Scoop said much the same thing people have been saying for years, and kudos to James for asking the questions many people ask

Scoop didn't call anyone a ****** or a negro.... he used the word ****** because he was taking about the word ******, he wasn't calling another person a ******.
