Re: Big Brother
It is about context. Young black men have reclaimed the word, and use it to call each other it all the time, just as they used to use the word brother, and it is part of Gangsta culture, which Emily clearly isn't.
They were all warned about offensive behaviour, especially in the light of the Shilpa Shetty row, and she was naive to think it wouldn't be jumped on by the producers.
Nicky, a sensible young women, was physically shocked, and stunned, when Emily came out with it.
