What is Jade Goody's lasting legacy? Was it the controversial racism row, her love triangle with Jeff Brazier and Jack Tweed or her tragic demise from cancer? Despite being a controversial character, people really felt sympathy for Jade's battle with cancer and only took to her when she was dying

One day she was the bitch queen from hell and was a complete and utter embarrassment to England.
Then the next day it was found she had cancer and the very same media was saying how great she was and how she was Englands Rose.
Now I never liked her I don't think she deserved cancer and am sorry she died but that didn't mean she wasn't a nasty woman.
I don't think she was nasty - she just had a cr*p upbringing. She was made by the media and broken by the media. I think her story is quite tragic.
I think she made her peace after the Shilpa Shetty incident whereas others managed to toady away with less hassle.
It was a really tragic end and whatever people thought of her it was clear to me she made a far better job of raising her kids than what she had to deal with growing up.
It's quite tragic that she's now been dead for almost as long as she was famous.
A nobody who turned herself into a Zeleb with no talent.
Her kids are her legacy and Jeff Brazier seems to have done a wonderful job with them both.
Goody lived a car crash life for the trash mags right up until her death. It's a shame she died young and suffered cancer, but that doesn't change her being a nasty person.
Actually I think she was quite bright, but very much reveled in her ignorance. Maybe she wanted to emulate her mother, who really does seem thick as.
I loathed Jackiiieeeyyyy.
"Where's East Angular? I thought it was abroad."
"Rio de Janeiro - ain't that a person?"
"They were trying to use me as an escape goat"
"Do they speak Portuganese in Portugal? I thought Portugal was in Spain."
And most of all - too stupid to go for a follow-up appointment on a health issue.
I don't agree - you can't fake that level of stupidity.
Useful word racist.
It enables nice liberal people to dismiss someone as worthless.
Not like common or garden celeb haters.
Use the r word and you can hate someone to your heart's content, secure in your own superiority.
Nah, she was thicker than mince.
Nice passive aggressive statement there. It is indeed a useful word, particularly when used against people who are racist, use racist language and act in a racist way - as Goody did.
Oh and I do indeed hate racists. I'm sorry if that makes me a wooly liberal - but hey ho. No-one should be vilified simply by virtue of the colour of their skin/nationality.
Can you please enlighten me as to where I am laying claim to superiority? Or are you simply espousing a lot of hot air?
I just think racist is a good way for people to dismiss people.
Given that anti-racists believe we are all racist, the term could be use to attack anyone.
As I said, very useful.
On an individual level, IIRC you have a very low opinion of Katie Price. Now that is hard to forgive.
No it doesn't. The "racism" damaged her career.
Or racism is. If people act in a racist way we brand them racists - their fault. Do you think racism is somehow acceptable and that we shouldn't dismiss people thus?
Like stripping off on BB - real class
BTW there's Jackie and Jacky, but in typical council house 'invent a name' style there was Jackiey. Oh decisions - let's use both . . .
Why does someone have to be a "liberal" to dislike racists or racism. It should be basic intelligence not to judge someone on something so superficial as their colour or race.
Jade Goody came over as a racist - but she was so thick that she was hardly able to string a sentence together. Whilst not excusing her behaviour on CBB - she was so clearly a product of her desperately uneducated mother. Fundamentally - I still feel she had some decency in her - and so clearly wanted her boys to have the good education she knew she so obviously lacked.
