On tonight

[Strictly Jake]

Will give this a watch tomorrow. Love little mix

[GoldHeart]

Noticed it listed when scrolling through channels, is this a one off documentary? .

[UserSince2005]

One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too black
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too fat and ugly
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too slutty
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too weird

[Amy Jade]

Yeah, just finished watching it and really enjoyed it.

Keisha from Sugababes was done dirty by her management.

[Crimson Dynamo]

One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too black
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too fat and ugly
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too slutty
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too weird

literally

they are pro-victims with dreadful music

[Amy Jade]

of course a black woman speaks out about her experiences and two white men come to belittle her.

Typical tubb

She's not claimed to be "a victim of the group", she's discussing racism in the industry and society in general.

[Marsh.]

Yet there you always are to comment.

Something tells me you're not their target audience.

[Amy Jade]

She's not claimed to be "a victim of the group", she's discussing racism in the industry and society in general.

They'd know if they'd decided to watch it instead of coming here to exhibit the racism spoken about in the documentary by dismissing that there is a blatent problem in the industry.

[DouglasS]

Seems all the little mix group are jumping on the documentary bandwagon.

Black women and POC have always excelled in the music industry I thought, black women in particular are some of the biggest selling divas of the 80s and 90s (Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson for just two examples but there are so many)

She earns millions, living her dream, dating a footballer and yet she’s life’s victim

[Barry.]

I’m sure usersince has stated he is black before, or was that a lie?

[Marsh.]

Well then, never mind the actual experiences of WOC in the industry because "Douglas thought". :joker:


She earns millions, living her dream, dating a footballer

Money, dreams and a footballer... the three things you need to avoid racism.

[UserSince2005]

She's not claimed to be "a victim of the group", she's discussing racism in the industry and society in general.

at the end of the day we are all misfits in some kind of way if you look hard enough in an attempt to play the victim.

I think its pathetic to dwell on it and try to seek sympathy from people who live standard lives, a lot who are on minimum wage, when your a successful multi millionaire.

I think it's pathetic you're continuing to comment on something you haven't watched, as evidenced by the fact you haven't a clue what it was about. Makes you look very foolish.

[Tom4784]

If you're more offended about people talking about racism then you are about racism itself, you're part of the problem.

[DouglasS]

No one is offended :laugh:

Just think she’s copied Jesy to make a documentary as it worked out with Jesy. Feel like if the documentary was about bullying she’d have done that instead. Just grabbing cash where she can

[Tom4784]

There is certainly offense. Screaming about how they are professional victims and their music is 'terrible' just because a black woman spoke about racism reeks of people being offended by the discussion of racism. A bunch of white men downplaying her experiences and victim blaming because they don't want to hear is them being offended by the discussion of racism.

Who is screaming, yourself, Amy and marsh seem the most bothered in this thread?

It may look that way to someone with limited reading comprehension, yes.

Its just another Bandwagon to jump on. If you have any kind of objection to it you must be Racist...

Yes it does seem that way rusti, everyone in the world is guilty and an “ist” except these few people on TIBB it seems :laugh:

[Oliver_W]

Why is some popstar making a little TV show causing such ire :joker:

I don't care about Little Mix so I only saw the beginning after Dragons' Den, but if she wants to use her fifteen minutes to talk about whatever she wants, why shouldn't she? If she were to egregiously misrepresent things or blatently lie then she'd be called out for it, otherwise who cares? She can go on about what she wants, as far as I'm concerned, unless she calls for violence, which I somehow doubt she did :laugh:

[Tom4784]

Its just another Bandwagon to jump on. If you have any kind of objection to it you must be Racist...

What reason would people have to object to a woman speaking about her own experiences of racism in her industry? By all means, tell us.

[GoldHeart]

Yeah, just finished watching it and really enjoyed it.

Keisha from Sugababes was done dirty by her management.

I might have to watch on catch-up, I'm glad they've highlighted the mistreatment. I remember watching a YouTube vid Keisha did about her experience.

[Marsh.]

Its just another Bandwagon to jump on. If you have any kind of objection to it you must be Racist...

That's an invention.

White man with no connection to the music industry tells black woman in the industry herself that she's wrong about the racism in the industry she is discussing is not "an objection", at best it's a foolish attempt at baiting and at worst an offence taken at the discussion of racism rather than the racism itself.

But, yeah, you don't like the forum members disagreeing with him so that makes it a bandwagon. Why even bother coming into the thread?

[Oliver_W]

To be fair, while "bandwagon" might not be the nicest way to paint it, it's certainly become a "hot topic" recently. Some dude passing away in police custody after swallowing a bunch of drugs being knelt on sparked the issue, and she might not have got the show made.

[GoldHeart]

I'm glad people like Leigh-Ann , Keisha, Alexandra Burke etc are speaking out against racism. I don't understand why people have issue with that.

[Marsh.]

Yes, because the George Floyd situation invented racism. :rolleyes:

As for the struck out sentence, you're an idiot.

[Oliver_W]

It didn't invent it, but it turned into the big talking point of the year.

[Marsh.]

It didn't invent it, but it turned into the big talking point of the year.

And you think racism hasn't been a major talking point before and wouldn't be again? Ok.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Yes, because the George Floyd situation invented racism. :rolleyes:

As for the struck out sentence, you're an idiot.

"sparked the issue"

how do you get "invented racism" from that?

:conf:

Also just calling people names is playground tactics, Josy already posted about this type of post only today.

[Jordan.]

Why is some popstar making a little TV show causing such ire :joker:

Because it's highlighting race issues which the racists hate to see. It's really that simple.

Another one who didn't watch it.

George Floyd "sparked the issue" of racism in the music industry? Ok buddy.
George Floyd brought it to YOUR attention it seems. Not that you'll pay attention.

[Amy Jade]

I genuinely don't understand why anyone came here to slate a young black woman talking about how she's been treated within the industry she works in.

It's horrible to see anyone demean her experiences and it's very telling about how toxic this forum has become with racists and trolls being left to cripple it.

[Tom4784]

Care to answer, Rustic?

[LukeB]

Lmao white people having an issue with a black girl speaking about race issues that she deals with daily which white people will never know how that feels. Just because she is successful doesn't mean she doesn't get comments. Actually watch the documentary

[rusticgal]

Care to answer, Rustic?


I never said I had a problem with the content of the documentary...
IMO they would have had more of an impact on these issues had they raised them 2/3 years ago at the height of their fame......but the money they were making was obviously more important than their mental health at the time.
I hate racism and I hate bullying and I empathise with what they had to endure..both her and Jesy but why wait until now to bring it to light. People are having to endure bullying and racism all over the world but don’t have the platform they do and don’t have their wealth as some sort of comfort...because it is a comfort.

Because their albums are not selling as much rusti is the answer. They’re not earning as much cash, before documentaries were of no interest because they were making much more money through tours and album sales, now it’s dried up with covid and lack of sales

[Mitchell]

Jesy’s documentary was in 2019 (after Leigh-Anne did a major interview about the racism she has faced in the music industry), before Covid, and Little Mix have literally had a number one album and single in the last year, they’re just as big now as they have ever been, maybe she actually wants to speak out on an issue that needs to be spoken about?

And if this thread tells me anything, it’s the trolling documentary done by Jesy and the racism one done by Leigh-Anne are very much still needed.

[rusticgal]

Oh really ? is that why they won best British Group at the BRIT AWARDS ,i think they're doing just fine. And this is an important topic to be addressed when it comes to mistreatment and racism.

The old "why now?" bullsh*t when commenting on something you haven't even watched and so are embarrassing yourself coming out with comments that have no relation to it.
"People are having to endure bullying and racism all over the world" so Leigh-Anne is being criticised for trying to do her bit by making changes in the industry she can actually make a difference in, the record label she can have influence in, why exactly?

Don't bother doing anything guys, unless you can change the whole world yourself, overnight, don't bother.

As for 3 years ago being the "height of their fame", I'm not sure what measuring stick you're using but they made history at the Brits less than a week ago.

[Ammi]

…I haven’t watched all of this yet but I started to watch it last night and I thought Leigh-Anne conveyed her experiences so well…

…’One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too black…’….that comment really doesn’t apply at all and to watch the documentary would contradict that completely…I mean, I just don’t understand how that could ever be concluded from anyone in watching…

….Leigh-Anne was very open in that she felt almost apologetic about her own experiences in comparison to some and what their life experiences have been…and that’s something that’s often noticeable as well in society…’I’m against racism but I only recognise racism if it’s the more extreme actions/words, then I’m appalled’’ etc is something that is seen a lot, I feel…

…anyways, the only time that she stated that she’d experienced the more extreme words levelled against her was a Primary School experience when she said that she’d had a description from someone of ‘coming straight from the jungle’…I’ve personally known words such as and similar to that laid at children and the impact on them that’s carried ….Leigh-Anne stated that she herself felt that her experiences were just minuscule compared to others and as I say, her whole vibe was more apologetic to those who experience horrendous prejudice…but she also stated that she undoubtedly did feel that there were ‘differences’ with things toward her and other black girls in the industry ….I recall having many conversations with CeeCee/IthinkIloveyoutoo, the member….she often spoke about skin colour in particular with females because of her own experiences ….and she also said so, so many of those same things that were being said by those ladies in the documentary…that there is a ‘conditioning’ of ‘black isn’t beautiful’ and those are the experiences it seems that many have and that were being explained …I’ll finish watching it later as it’s a really worthwhile watch….

[Amy Jade]

Confetti was the 29th best selling album in the UK and was released in November so only had 2 months of sales and their tour had sold out most venues before being cancelled due to covid, people saying they aren't earning are morons. Stop embarrassing yourselves.

They've literally just won Best British Group at The Brits and made history in being the only girl group to do so. Even if they did decide to call it a day for some reason what a legacy.

Oh but some bloke off a big brother forum says they are past their best so it must be true. :laugh2:

The same thing would have been said then, 'Oh why didn't they say it sooner, I'm gonna make ignorant remarks about their mental health and their state of mind when I don't know their story or their struggles.'

If someone has suffered from abuse, it is down to them how they share their story, abuse doesn't have a time limit, you don't have to stay silent or speak about it at a specific time.

At the end of the day, a black woman has spoken about her experiences of racism, and white people are trying to dictate how and when she should have spoken about it and are making out that what she is saying is invalid because she's successful or has money. It's all just deeply ignorant.

You say one thing to look good, but your intent says another. 'She said have spoken about this when I dictate she should have (which would have been never), and she has no reason to complain because she has money and success and that makes racial abuse okay! There's also plenty of other people suffering so she should just put up and shut up because that's obviously the smart approach to mental health and getting people to discuss hard topics!'

[DouglasS]

They are on their way out....they have peaked and are on the slippery slope. It happens to all bands and you are a moron if you cant see it.

Very true, if you compare their sales, interest to 4-5 years ago they’ve plummeted. You only have to compare album sales it about 3x down.... Brit award or not less people listen and buy their music...

They definitely peaked years ago, don’t know why people are trying to argue against it as if sales/music interest hasn’t declined when it has :laugh:

where are your sales, where is your music


oh wait :joker::joker::joker::joker:

[Liam-]

Its my opinion...get over it.

Right, but according to the actual physical, recorded facts, you’re very wrong, get over it

[Amy Jade]

All sales are down because of streaming but some don't deal in facts.

[Liam-]

The lengths people go to demean people for speaking up about things that affect them personally is hilarious, a black woman speaks out about her experiences and set out to try and make a difference and white people make it their mission to mock her career and her talents because of it, it’s disgusting, but not at all surprising for this place

[Crimson Dynamo]

Isnt she mixed-race and not black

Did i not see her mum is white?

[Amy Jade]

Isnt she mixed-race and not black

Did i not see her mum is white?

Watch the documentary and she discusses her heritage.

But what difference does that actually make if her mum was white?

[GoldHeart]

Isnt she mixed-race and not black

Did i not see her mum is white?

Ignorance much, yes she's mixed race . And she has still experienced racism as she is not white.

Even Jade felt she had to hide her heritage , she's also mixed race .she happens to be Arabic.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Watch the documentary and she discusses her heritage.

But what difference does that actually make if her mum was white?

well people in this thread keep calling her black and she isnt black she is mixed race

at least stick to the facts :shrug:

[Crimson Dynamo]

I think arabic is classed as white - it is in the USA

[Tom4784]

Its my opinion...get over it.

Do I really need to inform you how opinions work again? You can have an opinion, and everyone else can have their views on what you are saying. 'It's my opinion' is not a shield, especially when it comes to ignorance.

[GoldHeart]

They are on their way out....they have peaked and are on the slippery slope. It happens to all bands and you are a moron if you cant see it.

Did you watch THE BRIT AWARDS , even after Jesy leaving they still WON best British group.

[Crimson Dynamo]

Did you watch THE BRIT AWARDS .

Not many did

Viewing figures for the Brit Awards have plunged for the fourth year in a row

[GoldHeart]

I think arabic is classed as white - it is in the USA

She is Egyptian & Yemeni

[Amy Jade]

well people in this thread keep calling her black and she isnt black she is mixed race

at least stick to the facts :shrug:

Both her parents are in fact black, her mum is Jamaican and her dad is from Barbados. You're clueless and just trying to hush a black woman calling out blatantly racism.

[GoldHeart]

no i just googled her mum, after seeing her on that clip, and she looked white and it said she was from HIgh Wycombe

its really not that deep

[Amy Jade]

I was told " Arabic is white " when I tried to explained Jade's background :facepalm:

The racists on here hate to see a poc doing well basically. Let's call a spade a spade.

[GoldHeart]

At the end of the day unless you're in Leigh-Ann's or Jade's shoes , nobody will ever understand what they've had to go through.

Some people are so ignorant in life , in the past when I use to hear people say "coloured" , I use to think what a daft description they're not a piece of crayon. And I use to hate hearing "half cast" and I had to correct people.

So today there's no excuse really to still be this uneducated. It's ashame it's still there though.

Where has anyone mocked her talent and career?...

Where has anyone mocked her talent and career?...

You alone have spent the last day trying to tell us her career is over all because she dared to make a documentary about racism :crazy:

[Swan]

She did not say that!

[Jordan.]

She did not say that!

She has done it on this very page, get out of her sphincter dear.

[Marsh.]

"Their sales are down"

"Her mum LOOKS white"

:rolleyes:

She actually discussed the differences between her, as a relatively lighter skinned black woman, and the experiences of those with darker complexions.

But don't let that stop you googling Little Mix's sales figures, pictures of them in skimpy clothes and trying to "prove" her mum looks white trying, and failing, to make a point about a documentary you didn't watch.

[Swan]

She has done it on this very page, get out of her sphincter dear.

She is saying her career is dwindling because Little Mix are winding down as a group now. So it's the opposite of what you're claiming she said, sweetheart.

[Jordan.]

She is saying her career is dwindling because Little Mix are winding down as a group now. So it's the opposite of what you're claiming she said, sweetheart.

Yet their is no proof Little Mix are actually winding down, quite the contrary as people have posted. So well done on once again highlighting she is only saying it to mock them and discredit this documentary.

'their' sic Jesy leaving was a huge blow. Usually means the beginning of the end.

'their' sic Jesy leaving was a huge blow. Usually means the beginning of the end.

Huge blow how? Their is no evidence to show that is the case. But keep parroting rustygal and adding nothing new to the conversation.

[Crimson Dynamo]

People going on to X Factor and talking about family deaths, mental struggles and such like.

WHat do Little Mix think about such things?

"Little Mix Disses ‘X Factor,’ Says There Are Too Many ‘Sob Stories’"


wait, what?

"Jade Thirlwall told the Radio Times. “When they’re like, ‘This is going to be a
sob story,’ then they’ll stop the song halfway through and ask if they have
something else.”

“The minute it doesn’t seem real, you switch off,” she added. “How am I
meant to believe in it any more? I could literally write it myself and tell you
what’s coming next.”

I guess she would think Meghan Markle talking about suicide was just her sob story? :/

"Jade Thirlwall told the Radio Times. “When they’re like, ‘This is going to be a
sob story,’ then they’ll stop the song halfway through and ask if they have
something else.”

“The minute it doesn’t seem real, you switch off,” she added. “How am I
meant to believe in it any more? I could literally write it myself and tell you
what’s coming next.”

--------------------

I guess she would think Meghan Markle talking about suicide was just her sob story? :/

Why are 8 month old articles being posted now and what do they have to do with this documentary?

Because everything a poc has ever said will be scrutinised and dragged out when they mention racism, it’s a pretty sad distraction technique, which for some reason, people still seem to think works

Just an irrelevant lazy tactic to mock I guess :idc: .

People going on to X Factor and talking about family deaths, mental struggles and such like.

WHat do Little Mix think about such things?

God any excuse to mention Meghan isn't it?

They criticised X Factor affording more airtime to the sad life stories as opposed to the singing talents of the contestants.

Nothing to do with a documentary about racism nor Meghan Markle's mental health.

But you know that. :pat:

i mean can it be more ironic...

[Amy Jade]

You're humiliating yourself more than usual today and your blatantly racism is showing. You've obviously not watched the documentary if you think it was a 'sob story'.

Begs the question as to why you are even in the topic if you've not watched it and have zero interest in it. No Meghan topics today?

[Marsh.]

Oh dear, that's twice today you've misused the word "ironic".

Maybe watch something before spouting your ill informed diatribe about it in future. Might make you look marginally less foolish.

Don't worry I'm sure we'll get more Meghan topics soon lol .

[Brother Leon]

Only just caught up with it. Thought it was a good insight into the industry and how Women of Colour may feel. Of course you have the usual ignorance by some on here.

[Ammi]

…I didn’t want to make a separate thread for it but I read this morning that her engagement ring has been stolen from her home…..

[GoldHeart]

…I didn’t want to make a separate thread for it but I read this morning that her engagement ring has been stolen from her home…..

Oh no that's terrible :shocked:

[Ammi]

Oh no that's terrible :shocked:

…yeah, it’s a little confusing atm, GoldHeart…in that the headline says that her engagement ring was stolen from her home…?…but then reading down the article, it mentions that it was gone between her moving homes, during the move she thought it was taken…I’m so more details will become clear in time but yeah, awful….

[GoldHeart]

she might have just lost the ring then? :conf: , hopefully things will be more clear about it.

[Marsh.]

Yeah, is she accusing removal men of lifting it or she's misplaced it?

Maybe keep the 40k ring on your finger?
