If a black woman was the best character then she'd win, it's just this season the best character was orange.

Get a grip, colour will continue to be a thing all the time you make it a thing. Debs was a good HM, she done very well, and was beaten by the other two most popular in the house. I call Deborah, 'Deborah'.

Well said.

I thought anyone with a serious interest in dissolving racial inequality would be interested in what he had to say

When people complain about a problem, but then reject anything which offers or even resembles a solution, you begin to wonder what their real game is..

Deborah could have done well but IMO Hannah was her downfall for being nasty aggressive and playing the victim.

[Binbin]

well sure. but only if the black woman in question deserves it - and on BB, there's hardly been a single player that did deserve it

The issue seems to be more about whether the HM is English or not. It would be interesting to see how a black English female would do against people from other nations who are white though.

Maybe if they are transracial. Rachel Dolezal for CBB?

There's been a number of black female HMs that have received undue hate when they haven't really been villains either. It's quite undeniable that black female HMs have way more of a mountain to climb than most, another example of this is Debs and Hannah this series when they'd get the stereotypical 'aggressive' edit and commentary from people when they were often provoked by more aggressive people looking for a reaction.

I think it's undeniable that, at this point, if you are a black female you will typically have a harder time then you would if you were the exact same person but white.

What a load of rubbish...
Plenty of housemates get negativity when they are not necessarily unlikeable..take Raph for instance along with Tom Charlotte Ellie Kieron...none of them were bad people but they got a lot of vitriol on here.

So let's just be reasonable..

Not everyone is treated equally in this country though and there's a group called the EDL

But on RTV there's been no equality whatsoever. If they was we would have had a black female winner by now, Saara Aalto would have won x factor (they are comments about she shouldn't be on a british show because she's not british..equality that is not) they are loads of examples

[Headie]

Sandi is coming for that win

[Gstar]

[JayGreen]

What a silly question thats like saying can a gay person win big brother, how silly of course they can. Why even ask this! Its about people judging you on your behaviour, sexuality or race have nothing to do with it. If you act vile, attitude and like you the next best thing to sliced bread you aint gonna win people will be put off. In The nicest possible ways.

Sandiiiii is our saviourrrrr for our causeeeeee

Can we stop this thread please i feel like its not needed. You win because of you personality not your skin tone so why we even talking out this? I mean no disrespect but in this day and age this shouldn't even be a topic of discussion.
