Page 1 of Overnight update

Lisa has joined Imogens group after sam told her everything that Lea and Richard had said about everybody in the house.

Sam has joined too and they have vowed to protect her.

But of course the big story is Grace and the use of the word wigger.

The pc brigade have had a field day with this one.
She has now been branded a racist on the BB web site.

It`s "Wigga" foo!

And is that actually racist? Black culture bastardised the racist derogatory term for it`s own usage, turning it into a non-racist term. Someone swaps the N for a W, so it can be used to specifically refer to white people.

Don`t get where it becomes racist again, maybe I`m missing something.

Interesting that Sam has joined the plastics. Especially considering how much they have bitched about her this last week. Does she really think they care about anything other them their own safety in the house?

Yes, you are missing something! Maybe it`s a generation thing. Not!

I`ll try referring my Mother in that fashion to see what her response is! Just as an experiment to see if she`s so hip with your analogy! And whilst we`re now comfortable with these new meanings for these derogatory expressions. And while I`m doing that I`ll see if the Bitch comes to your way of thinking, seeing as everyone with no class is comfortable with those words!


I for one have never called any of my friends either of those names out of respect for my culture and theirs. I don`t think most of my family and friends would use these words as some form of endearment either, if it was!

Just because some less educated express themselves in such a derogatary manner doesn`t make it ok in my book!

I think most of the Ho`s in tha house will agree. You get me!

Never said it wasn`t derogatory, merely not racist. :)

I asked my mom and sister, and they`d never heard of it either... And didn`t Grace say it about Sam - who is black - so it kinda doesn`t make sense anyway.... :/
