Preferring someone purely because they are white is racist.

I wouldn't quite say "preferring white people isn't racist"

but if people would vote based on dancing, Anastacia and Naga or Ed should've been in the dance off, they are the worst dancers of the competition in my opinion, the people who voted for them are responsible for Tameka being in the dance off

The two aren't comparable.

Tameka just did not get enough votes, because not everyone didn't like her behaviour, i did love her a lot, it definitely wasn't her time to be voted out

it's a dancing show and having a good personality is important


just because Melvin and Tameka are voted out first and second, there are racism claims, i think they had just done weak dances when they were eliminated


anyway Ore is a very good dancer, and i can see staying for a long while, at least until blackpool perhaps

I don't think it has anything to do with racism, black people mostly do well on this show, some have won and some have got in the finals and some were eliminated close to the final. Jamelia being in the bottom 2 all the time doesn't happen often it hardly happens at all. SCD always has a shock bottom 2/elimination even the winners have been there see Caroline Flack and Abby. Tameka would mostly have been saved next week.

I think this is a good time to remember that nobody here is saying that the voters are racist and the only thing that might be is the thought that white people preferring white people based on their race is fine

and do you think that if we looked at all the black people who voted on Strictly we may see a pattern emerging there?
