I get frustrated with how black women are represented in the house....why so loud and so aggressive and so unreasonable ? We all know that's not what all women are like so why send in black women who are like that....why not intelligent people with style like the legendary Gina from 3 years ago....she was a fighter and feisty and intelligent with a f-ckin brilliant sense of humor.....Natalie is just not good...not good at all ....

Hate the stereotype. And Gina really was legendary.

No because I don't expect any community to have a normal representation on a show like big brother? :/

no because she doesn't have to represent anybody lol, she's her own person

People only cry foul at Natalie because she dared to raise her voice once (!) when Ryan and Charlie have been more vitriolic in the past few days. But people are using this as an excuse to hate her and say she's another angry black woman. Lateshya is largely liked too but no one cares about a mile mannered, funny black woman because that's ~out of character~ for BB. No doubt people will find something to pounce on her too like Adjoa last year and she'll of course be evicted before people who have valid reasons to go. To liken Natalie to Pauline that some people are doing is a bit of a joke too.

Why for some people do they see the recognition of the black community as Racist ?...what's racist about it ?.....I would have thought no recognition wud be more racist.....other community's embrace their differences ...the Italian community, the Asian community, the Gay community, the Jewish community, the Welsh community.....each one proud of the differences we all have and sharing those differences .....Natalie is the one being racist.....no question...she has a major bad attitude

[hot2go]

If the percentages were reversed and there were only two white women each year and each time they were always aggressive, angry and hysterical then I would accuse BB of stereotyping white women to make them all look like idiots ....I think BB stereotype black women and those who say making that observation makes me a racist can jog on

Well someone always has to bring race up atleast a few times a year in here.If there's no actual racism going on like most years then why not call C5 racist.

The truth is that in order to get into that house you have to be atleast a little outspoken or quirky or aggressive or out there in some way.No matter what colour you are.

You might aswell say 'are the quiet reserved community disappointed with Andy?' Since he's the actual minority in there.

The point is white people are not a minority in the house or the UK. So someone who is part of a minority you could say has more of a responsibility to be a good ambassador for that community.

But then they probably wouldn't get in there in the first place as you generally have to really have an outspoken personality to get in there in the first place.No matter your colour.

If this point is true then Big Brother are creating stereotypes which is not great. I think there have been other black women who have not been like this who were entertaining with out being brash and angry. Makosi springs to mind and i think the black community were happy with this choice.

She dared to not like that older lady referencing skin colour constantly throughout the conversation and Natalie dared to react against it and not just sit back like a "good little black girl."

To answer your question no I don't think that the black community should be a shamed of Natalie or Lateysha just yet.

I do think that us white people should want to disassociate ourselves from Laura and Marco though.

I don't expect 'the gay community' to be represented by anyone as everyone is different and everyone's their own person, so I'm going to take a wild guess and say that is the same for 'the black community'

[Northern Monkey]

Well i personally don't think they should look at peoples 'communities' to select them anyway.Just look at the personalities.Will they be a good housemate?The best ones get through.
