But black people do have to work extra hard to win over the brittish public.
I believe that the brittish public can be very rasist and bigoted somtimes. but it could be worse,she could be american,then she DEFINATLY wouldnt win in a million years |

^^ Cool.
im just saying from an obserber,im sure that theres not anyone racist on this forum,because its fround upon here. But the fact that Leona is even just a girl is gonna be goin against her.The brittish voting public ARE sexist. the same with most shows (BB probably being the exception as the HMs are usually regarded as "Freaks" anyway,being its ok for a gay man etc to win as the public dont see them as "real" people,thus making them unthreatning), but gay,lesbain,Black people and foreigners in general have alot of resistance to go against when it comes to talent shows etc. Somthing white usually male and brittish dont have to deal with. |

I don't think the public will vote for Ben because they are sexist. They will always vote for who they like. It was the Girls who won battle of the sexes on Pop Stars the Rivals and Kate Lawler won Big Brother so females can get votes.
I just think comments like her mums can stir up friction and I think it was stupid of her mum to come out with that. |

I remember when in CBB when Traci was told because she was an African American Woman,she was never gonna win since the start,and she got upset.It was true,her fate was sealed since the start. I think maybe coz im a tiny bit older and an actual minority that i am more suseptable to public views.Im not pulling rank or anything,and completly commend your oppnion,because it shows respect and a Kind heart behind it |

I think thats completely untrue tbh, if she doesnt win it'll be because she has no personality
