Ive only ever voted once via text and that was to get Shabaz out as he was the most awful man ever

 

[Becks&Riley]

LOL

do u think they would have checked out charley if she sed put it out u whitey?

I bet she wouldnt have

 

[glitzyglamgirl]

probably not, but then whitey has never been used as an oppressive racist term, it doesnt have such an ugly history or such a widespread racist use.

 

[monster_munch]

I agree GGG, but I have been in a situation where I have been called 'White Trash' (at School) and the teacher laughed along, until I got so upset (I was only about 8 at the time) I shouted back at the girl - if I'm white trash - your black trash. I was sent home immediately and was threatened with being expelled.
I do agree that in some situations it is one rule for one and one for another but the N word is offensive and IMO shouldn't even be used in raps etc as it just encourages it's use.

Channel 4 Statement

Day 9, 131

Emily is removed from Big Brother after using a racially offensive word.

Contestant Emily Parr was removed from the Big Brother House in the early hours of this morning after using a racially offensive word to a fellow housemate.

Emily was with Charley and Nicky in the garden of the Big Brother House at approximately 8.30pm last night when she was heard to say "Are you pushing it out you nigger?" to Charley.

Emily immediately made clear that she had not intended to offend and that the comment had been meant as a joke. In discussing what she had said, Charley and Nicky agreed that they were not personally offended, although both did express shock at the language she had used. In the ensuing discussion, Emily acknowledged that she should have been more careful with her words.

The comment was not screened as part of the 'as live' streaming on E4 and was immediately reported up to senior production staff at Brighter Pictures, the Endemol UK subsidiary that produces the show. In consultation with senior executives at Channel 4 the decision was taken to remove Emily from the House on the grounds that she had broken the rules governing contestant behaviour.

The House Rules given to all contestants clearly state:

Big Brother will intervene and take appropriate action if housemates behave in a way that Big Brother considers is unacceptable. Unacceptable behaviour includes: behaving in a way that could cause serious offence to either their fellow housemates or members of the viewing public including serious offence based on the grounds of race. Housemates who act in a way that is seriously unacceptable will be evicted.

Emily was called to the Diary Room at approximately 03.30am to be informed of the decision and was removed from the House immediately without further contact with other contestants. The remaining housemates were informed of Big Brother's decision at approximately 9.30am.

Emily was one of two housemates nominated for eviction this week and as a result the latest eviction vote has been suspended.

Angela Jain, who heads the Big Brother commissioning team at Channel 4, said: "I think people watching the show tonight will agree that Emily spoke carelessly rather than maliciously - certainly Charley and Nicky, the two housemates most directly involved in the conversation with her,seem to accept that she did. She understands why her involvement in Big Brother has had to come an end and she very much regrets what she said."

"In the wake of Celebrity Big Brother we must consider the potential offence to viewers regardless of Emily's intentions and her housemates' response. The word nigger is clearly racially offensive and there was no justification for its use. We have removed Emily from the house to once again make it clear to all housemates and the viewers at home that such behaviour won't be tolerated."

Totally agree there - it's just one of those words that needs erasing from the planet.
I've heard some black comedians use it in their sketches and I don't like that either (i'm not black btw) I think it makes people think it is acceptable to say and IMO it's not.

I think the music industry has to take most of the responsibility for it being used so unashamedly by the younger generations. They hear it in songs on the radio but have never been taught it's true implications.

well davina did say on the paul ogrady show, that ALL the people going in had strict rules on language and the racist issues blah blah..
so she had it coming to her, she should think before she act,
i think theyshould just stop showing big brother its more trouble for channel 4 than its worth tbh.


i hated her anyways.
i hate them all

 

[evemarie8]

On the contrary, I think C4 love the controversy!! Even bad publicity is publicity after all and BB is such a money spinner for them a few little fines aren't really going to register on their bank statements!!??
