This article was written earlier today on our forum by Ruby Firecracker. We thought it spoke volumes and wanted to share it with all our readers. ENJOY!
The unfortunate thing about his whole sorry episode is that the three b***hes off CBB are actually a good representation of many young British girls…
Watching them, I am instantly reminded of girls I went to school with (all within the same sort of age group as Jade and co)… Aside from the racism issue, what is happening is the dominant girl (who is obviously resorting to dominanace/bullying because of her shortcomings) is leading her pack of inferior girls (ie. less famous in this situation) into targeting a member of the house who is easy to target because she is the least similar to them… This happens in schools and communities all over Britain all the time. It does not have to be about race.. anything that makes a person stand out, or different to the dominant ‘pack’ can trigger this behaviour.
The girls have targeted Shilpa because she is the least recognisable.. none of them know who she is. To the b***hy gang, she might as well be a punter off the street. They deem themselves as more important because they’d heard of eachother before, and some of them even suspect she may be a fake. They seek comfort by targeting her because of their own insecurities… to respect Shilpa as an artist is difficult for them because they are only famous for themselves, not their talent or work (or at least, not work of any artistic credibility)
Jade and co have twisted Shilpa’s words to justify their awful behaviour.. saying sorry isn’t good enough. This behaviour is unacceptable in any circumstances, and should not be tolerated, as it would not be in any British workplace. I do not particularly like Shilpa, but in any case, it is never justifiable to attack people, especially over petty issues.
Danielle came into the house saying she wanted to show people a ‘different side to her’.. well done Dani… you’ve shown a public who were indifferent to you that you are a silly, easily led little idiot, who will form her opinions based on those of the dominant member of the group, and try to make amends quietly behind your ‘friends’ backs… and then backtrack !!
Watching this reinforces why my friends are in their 30s - 60s (I am 24) and why I have chosen to lose contact with my peers from school. This sort of behaviour is terribly common, and I myself exerienced a similar situation with a dominant girl and her gang at school.
I work with many young people who come from Africa who have spoken to me this week about their bewilderment and disgust at this behaviour… I am proud to be a young person who does not follow the pack, and at the same time, I am sad that my peers do not do the same. I was brought up in a racist family in a BNP area, moved to a predominantly Asian area of Birmingham aged 18 of my own accord, and found friends, culture and understanding.
There is NO excuse for ignorance.. These girls are a disgrace.
The only good thing that can come of this is that Jade Goody fades back into obscurity… she has NO endearing qualities and NO talent.
Thanks for reading!

Maybe Jo O’Meara senses that all is not well on the outside, last night she was having difficulty sleeping because her mind was racing. Luckily, Shilpa Shetty was on hand to calm her nerves.
Shilpa Shetty was called to the diary room yesterday when Big Brother asked her if she thought Jade Goody and her pals had been displaying racist behaviour towards her. The conversation went something like this:
