She's not lying though. Generally in society the view has been adopted that black people, particularly black women are aggressive without it ever really being backed up with proof. Granted Hannah and Deborah could display anger like any other individual, but the fact is they'll be demonised a lot of the time before they've even had their first argument. If you look at comments on YouTube or Facebook from the first week there were people calling them hoodrats, ghetto and even one saying "loud angry and wig wearing"... and this was at a point where the vast majority were saying they'd not even made the highlights shows. The same thing happened to Toya, Adjoa and Natalie. Undoubtedly both Natalie and Toya had big fights and blow ups, but considering their fights were against equally 'aggressive' people like Hughie and Ash, who received cheers and positive receptions off the audience shows the inequality and existing racism within modern british society. People can deny it but it's just illuminated by someone like Adjoa being a first evictee and getting such an awful response whilst male housemates who threatened women manage to make it far and receive praise. I mean I even find myself in situations where a conflict arises and I'll speak up and suddenly told I have "the attitude" as if every black person universally holds some awful aggressive side... Kieran could walk up and shove Deborah, but lord knows if she shoves him back people would be baying for her 'aggressive' race card playing blood.

I believe it was the first live show that she changed my mind But I was like that with Diana Vickers too...thought she was a bad pick at judges houses then the first live show she was amazing...

Christian was easily the best singer especially in the male category which was surprisingly weak (though freddy is my fave) and I have know idea how honey g and bratavio got through and he didn't!!!

I think its more sexism than racism tbh. Men get away with stuff far more than women do on BB.

White women do get away with being labelled aggressive as much or as quickly as black women though tbf

Well yes, BUT, BB have a habit of only casting stereotypical black women. Ones who do actually fit the aggressive angry person slot. **** knows why they do this. Adjoa didn't seem to fit the mould tbf, but I couldn't warm to her because of her constant pussy talks and that (and I wouldn't warm to a guy who spoke that way either)

Fairly certain I would be labelled aggressive if I was on the show. even when just speaking I tend to be very loud and I am horrendous when in full blown argument mode. And I swear a lot in general too. And would have no issue using the dreaded 'c word' towards someone as I use it often :S

I would be hated within minutes I reckon

Some black people grew up in segments of society that interact differently, what is deemed "aggressive" by white people may not be deemed as such in their own community. I don't blame a black woman for refusing to be walked over or disregarded by a white man or woman.

say what?

Has she watched Helen Wood in BB15?
She was mad extra and aggressive, and wasn't black (unless I missed something?)

She is full of sh!t, she knows she is dry and boring so she creates drama and tries to make herself relevant. I used to like the sisters but now they are abusing.

YES honey, you were hella extra and mad for no reason.

Just seen this, skimmed the thread before. Bloody Helen won the show and was possibly the most aggressive housemate we have ever had :/

So? the point was that it takes a lot more for white women to be labelled as aggressive than it does a black woman and Helen was a raving monster

[number37]

If " 10 million people telling me I am aggressive" are telling you that ( which I somehow doubt unless you have 10 million friends on Facebook) & while having an argument you are shouting & being aggressive then you probably are coming across as a tad aggressive ? No ? FFS !! Zero to do with skin tone..... it`s being aggressive me thinks she played the race card too early , could have saved it for later in the game.

Didn't Helen have immunity, that kind of helps you keep in the house.
