Reasons for Scottish Independence #5

This is probably going to require more explanation than I want to include in these snippets.

Firstly, the quote from Popbitch:

>> Vote Shilpa! <<
C4 - How low can you go

Since Jade Goody shot to fame on Channel 4
she has had the same management as Celebrity
Big Brother host Davina McCall, and both
Big Brother spin-off show hosts, Dermot O'Leary
and Russell Brand, as well as last year's
Celebrity Big Brother winner Chantelle.
So is it any surprise that C4 and CBB
producers are so reticent about condemning
the racist bullying, led by Jade, on their
show? They have their own interests to protect

Racism of any variety is a blight on our society. Naturally, we all want it curbed. It is *however* interesting when Capitalism interferes in this process. Calling account to Jade Goody's racism should be a simple enough process (despite the obvious confusion with "political correctness" that is unfortunately used as a defence by the most idiotic of society) without Capitalist interest intervening.

Dave Gorman's Blog has the starting points of this problem for your interest. Dave went on BBLB and was the unfortunate go-to-guy at the start of the arguments with Dermot (whose reticence is rather conveniently explained by Popbitch).

This *should* make us re-evaluate our society in Socialist terms, but then I *would* say that, wouldn't I?
