Big brother?
Big brother - I see they have kicked some body out of the house, so that you don't have to ring up and vote them off.
Will it be worth watching, or should they all be kicked out for using
offensive and boring language?
If so, what will you be watching instead?

C4 will happily broadcast gangster rappers hurling out the N word in torrents of racist invective that advocate gun crime, drug dealing and prostitution yet when a youngster regurgitates the very same crap that they have broadcast suddenly it`s unacceptable. To then have to watch them milking the whole affair by airing the views of a bunch of holier than thou PC bigots on Big Brothers big mouth was just sickening I think even Galloway seemed a bit uncomfortable.

As usual, the whole incident has been blown out of proportion to sensationalise what was, after all, an innocent (if ill-advised) little slip of the tongue. Fact is if it wasn't for the "Celeb" BB race row, Emily wouldn't have been removed from the house - she would've got told off and given an official warning.
Whilst it was clear neither Charley or Nicky were offended by the remark, Charley seems determined to keep re-hashing the details even late on into the night when they were all in bed. "Whispering" about it (loudly) to evoke interest from the likes of Ziggy then saying "I don't wanna talk about it" when people started getting inquisitive.
The term is used more and more these days (by black people as well as white) and is rarely used in an aggressive manner in today's society. As others have pointed out, rappers use the term referring to themselves and others in their lyrics and this seems quite acceptable, despite being commercially available in various forms of media.
Given the context of the situation Emily, Charley & Nicky were in at the time the remark was made it is clear there was absolutely no racist intent or malice in the remark. All these "do-gooders" who insist on whinging and complaining about every little thing falling outside of todays overly-PC society should think twice before the world goes entirely crazy and no one can say anything anymore for fear of the ramifications!

So much goes on at the Big Brother House. I hope it does not turn out like Jade Goody and some of the others.

2007 and we are so PC it is a joke. Big brother has ruined the girl in question, for what? Money? Lets face it, that's what the show is all about. They dont care a toss about any of the contestants black or white. They even had the cheek to tell people to go online to recoup the money they had spent voting, what about all the people who dont have Internet access? The show is a sham, but we will continue to watch because we have nothing better to do.

I don't think she should've been kicked out.
She didn't mean it in a nasty way. They were messing about with each other. At the end of the day, Big Brother didn't have to say anything to the viewers, did thay?? Charley and Nicky were ok with it. I've loads of black friends and they call each other n****r all the time in a jokey way.
Would they have kicked Charley out if she had said "Move your WHITE ***"?? Don't think so do you??!!

She should have been kicked out because she was a b itch, but maybe the situation has been blown out of proportion. What would have happened if there were two black African Americans in the house who said things to each other like, "Ni**a please!" or referred to themselves as "Ni**as", for a joke? Would they have been kicked out?

at the end of the day its inverted racism, if one of the coloured girls had called her white tras or honky thats ok but an innocent remark was blown out of proportion and as usual everyone over reacts
