jade goody; the saint of the racially bigoted
Jade Goody is dead. I saw it in a newspaper.
It is news, worth printing. Apparently Jade Goody was the major person of note to die recently.
Outside of England people may not know of Jade Goody.
She is famous for being a reality TV star, and a little racist.
For the Australian’s who want someone to compare her to, she is the English version of Pauline Hanson.
Both were famous for bull shit reasons, one on TV the other as the leader of a group of hillbilly fucktards political party.
Both say stupid things with alarming regularity.
And both went from the punch lines of left wingers to the queen of the bogans/chavs when their private lives got shit.
By shit I mean jail for Hanson and cancer for Goody.
While Hanson got some good publicity for going to jail, and a reality show gig, Jade Goody got sainted.
It was almost as if her having cancer was more important than her being a racist.
It trumped it completely.
The left wingers left her alone, and right wingers made her into a dirty uneducated rough as fuck Princess Di.
How many non famous people die everyday of cancer, leaving behind young families, old families, and loved ones.
Some of these people are racists. Some aren’t, come are charity workers, some are social workers, some have given up their treatments to help their families, some of them are good honest people.
The fact that someone who is a racist would get promoted because she has an illness is not a good enough reason, if she donated her life to helping poor Indian women, educated people on why racism was wrong, set up a charity devoted to helping immigrants to the UK then maybe she would have gone some way to earning some new respect.
She didn’t, instead she had a reality show, supported her incarcerated lover, never admitted her comments were racist, and became some sick pin up girl for a community who deserves heroes like Jade.
I am sorry her children have no mother, but how many other children lost their mothers today, and how many of those were not racists, and didn’t make the front page of a paper.

They thought it would be could to ask the public what they thought of Saint Jade in the wake of her death, which is never a good idea.
One girl said she admired Jade because she spoke out against racism.
Yeah, because they made her, on account of how racist she was.
Jade made King Cricket make a mistake, that is a miracle.
Still_sane, wouldn’t say this is the place for sanity, but glad I made you happy.
That first ‘could’ is a ‘good’.
But you knew that.
You expect the Saint thing from some quarters but I saw a clergyman claim that she had become a saint yesterday. The interviewer gave him a chance to clarify or claim it was a metaphor but he reiterated that he meant it. At least St Diana wandered photogenically around minefields and held emaciated babies.
rip jade an angel in heven
Thank god for this little sanctuary of sanity.
lets git things straight.
jade Goody was an ignorant, bigotted racist. that is unarguable. All those who now treat her as ‘Saint Jade’ are themselves victims of our celeb-obsessed culture. There are no end of bigotted, ignorant racists in my part of London, dying of cancer won’t have me changing my view of them – even if they are prepared to sell every detail of their pathetic, empty private lives to tabloids and supermarket checkout magazines.
Hundreds of decent, non-bigotted, non-racist mums (and dads) have died from cancer this past week. why should that undignified nasty piece of work be so special?!
lessons learnt by the public about getting regular, early smear tests = many.
lessons learnt by the public about reality tv, media circuses, celebrity obsession = none.
agreed, completely. I doubt this sites ever had a truer post. She lived a chav’s fairytale tbh, and with all sympathy to the kids without a mum, good riddence to her!
