Bob Piper.....Not Guilty
I understand from my most recent check on the BBC News website (and also from Bob Pipers site), that old Mr.Piper is in a bit of trouble for promoting a black David Cameron and using offensive literature towards the black community (by using words such as "niggah").
Now i perfectly understand that both me and Mr.Piper have differed (very strongly) about political issues in the past, of which, can be shown by scrolling down the page to certain NHS articles, but because I strongly believe in upholding the individual rights of each British person (regardless of their political opinions)...i am going to side with the councillor on this one.
Although i am likely to be sounding like a Supreme Court Justice in the following sentences, i do feel that it is Mr.Pipers right to publish whatever he deems satisfactory on his personal website (in the best interests of freedom of the media). Granted, many people feel that this should not be the case because of the articles racially offensive content, but i myself do not believe Bob Piper to be racist. After all, using the word "niggah" is not an offensive slur. It is used by black people all over the world (especially where I am in the United States) as a mark of pride and respect for their cultural heritage. It is not an offensive remark, but a sign of pride used by blacks in all countries. If however Mr.Piper used the word "nigger" in his article, then i can completely understand the reasoning for an outcry, as this does demonstrate racism, but according to today's modern slang and literature, me must respect the fact that the words "niggah" (used by Bob Piper) and "nigger" mean two seperate entities in society.
Personally, i see nothing wrong with what Mr.Piper did. Although i disagree with his slanderous material at our party leader, this does not mean that he should be denied his right to freedom of media publication......especially as the article was published on his own, personal website.
