You know why your racism, in BB or in other places in Britain never changes? Because apparently, it doesnt exist. This perpetual denial, is why there s no progress. Whenever its brought up, the loud denial, makes it quickly look like youre paranoid, and should just shut up. Just like alcoholism, if you dont admit it, you will always be one.
And the thing is, especially nowadays, a lot of people are racist without even realising it. They try not to be, or they dont believe they are. Hence why they will like this black housemate, until they do one thing wrong. Then its off with her head.
Unless I SEE some progress, BB race disussions are pointless. Just sit back relax, and watch the exact thing happen.

Preach it Brother

I was gonna post something similar to this but thought better of it cuz I know the reactionaries on the forum would sh*t a brick but I 100% agree with Wildcat.

One black winner in 13 series of BB is a disgrace. Not something to be proud of. The record of black women is abysmal. Another example I like to go to is Sylvia Barrie from BB9. Evicted with a whopping 90.2%. I bet most of you cant even remember her never mind what she did to be ousted like that. She had one argument that she didnt even start but simply stuck up for herself but she was friend with the appalling Alexandria. Eviction by association. But it doesn't end there. She went on to become a glamour model and posed on page three. The 2nd black woman to feature on that page. This was met with racist comments on twitter. I'd say the Sun and BB viewers were a similar demographic wouldn't you?. Yeh. sure. No racism going on here.

[Wildcat!]

I remember Sylvia. She was a bit mischevous, and cheeky, but she was alright. She got a triple whammy: She was a beautiful female, she was black, and she was friends, with the horrible bitches Jennifer, and Dennis. Hence the 90%. Herself, she was a good laugh.

Do people consider Noirin as a black woman? I think she looks more like a latino woman

[smeagol]

so people think black women get voted out cause they are black ?
thats just crazy talk .most women get voted out in bb . just so happens there hasn't been many nice ones
plenty of black guys have done well in bb. and different races. etc. all comes down to personality

[Wildcat!]

Is that Noirin? Gotta b the worst pic of her, ever. But she is 1/2 black I believe, and If she told me she was a Latina, I would believe it.

Have people ever heard of positive discrimination? You're effectively saying we should have another black winner for the sake of a black winner.

Black people are still a minority in number in this country and therefore the odds of them being in the house are slimmer than white and therefore the odds of them winning are smaller again.

It's not that the public thinks "I'm going to evict her BECAUSE she's black" but black women are more likely to be labeled as loud, obnoxious, aggressive, etc. than others and it just fits the mold of the "angry black girl" stereotype. Marcus was quite aggressive in BB10 but you don't see him called it as much as, say, Shievonne.

[fruit_cake]

there have been other black girls who nobody noticed, wasn't there one called Rachel (not Beyonce Rachel) fairly recently..people seem to only remember the loud obnoxious ones like Shiv and Heaven

This was made before the series started, so nobody was aware of Gina...

[Benjamin]

Gina. To believe I wanted Sallie to survive over her. Silly me.

[swinearefine]

Gina's such a trailblazer for civil rights

Do you think it's because those women are black specifically though or do you think that they don't send in enough black contestants? I think alot of white women don't do well either but there's a higher volume of them sent in so in theory they have a better chance of sending a white woman in who's liked then a black woman, just because they always send in a limited amount of black women .......and black men too come to think of it. So it could just be a case of the odds being more in white contestants favour simply because there's always alot more of them?

Gina has already made history as the first black woman to survive that many evictions.

Heaven survived one.
Makosi survives two.
Gina has survived three, but was voted into the SH to be immune one occasion. So really, she has survived 3 evict votes and 1 save vote= 4 evictions.

[chuff me dizzy]

Shes overstayed her worth as a housemate already ,should have gone week one

[Headie]

Gina making history right now

I wouldn't even include Makosi. She actually only survived one public vote which was when the entire house was up, and the other time she and Vanessa actually did receive the highest votes. So really only Heaven and Noirin had survived one eviction each before Gina came along.
