Nigger. (Big Brother American Season 22)

Memphis started to call David a nigger. Not to his face, to Cody. What he said was “Dude, David’s a nigg-" then stopped himself. Unsurprisingly, Cody didn’t seem to acknowledge what Memphis said in any way. He just continued talking.

CBS has released a statement, its the image for this post, saying they enhanced the audio and played the scene back different ways and determined a “racial epithet was not said or uttered.” This is bullshit. Memphis gets to stay in the house because “nigg" is technically not a racial slur. I’m not surprised CBS doesn’t want to evict Memphis. All reality TV shows need a villain. It doesn’t matter if that villain is a racist.

Am I surprised Memphis started to call David a nigger? No. Honestly, I’m wondering if this is even the first time he did it.

Am I surprised Cody didn’t react to Memphis attempting to call David a nigger? No. Cody is a douchebag piece of shit and likely always will be.

Am I surprised CBS is allowing a raging racist to stay in the Big Brother house? No. The network seemingly has racist tendencies and probably thinks this “drama" will be good for ratings. By the way television networks, the racism and microaggressions Black people experience on an almost daily basis isn’t entertainment, it’s racial trauma.
