Default Have the African American community spoken out abut this series?
With the African Americans be cast out for being down right nasty and Marlon not being such a nice guy by any standards. Has the community or church leaders spoken out about the selection this series not being representative?

Toya is not "all women". Toya got evicted for being a ..... you can fill in the blank.

Kimberly spoke to Marlon about what he said about her. He took it on board and she accepted that he took it on board. Problem over.

African-American? That term refers specifically to the black population of America, hence the "American" in the title. It's not a term that refers to black people in general. (That said, I'm sure there are some African-American viewers, we know that there are people from overseas who follow BBUK).

But in answer to your question about what the black viewers think of the representation of the black housemates, I don't see why they should care. People know that they're individuals, not representatives of the black community as a whole.

Afro British might be a more proper term to use.

What do you think the white Americans reaction would be to Helens, ashes and Danielle's behaviour in and outside the house? That's 3 vs 3.
