Yeah, just finished watching it and really enjoyed it.

Keisha from Sugababes was done dirty by her management.

I might have to watch on catch-up, I'm glad they've highlighted the mistreatment. I remember watching a YouTube vid Keisha did about her experience.

One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too black
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too fat and ugly
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too slutty
One thinks shes the victim of the group because she’s too weird

Yet there you always are to comment.

Something tells me you're not their target audience.

She's not claimed to be "a victim of the group", she's discussing racism in the industry and society in general.

They'd know if they'd decided to watch it instead of coming here to exhibit the racism spoken about in the documentary by dismissing that there is a blatent problem in the industry.

at the end of the day we are all misfits in some kind of way if you look hard enough in an attempt to play the victim.

I think its pathetic to dwell on it and try to seek sympathy from people who live standard lives, a lot who are on minimum wage, when your a successful multi millionaire.

I think it's pathetic you're continuing to comment on something you haven't watched, as evidenced by the fact you haven't a clue what it was about. Makes you look very foolish.

of course a black woman speaks out about her experiences and two white men come to belittle her.

Typical tubb

I’m sure usersince has stated he is black before, or was that a lie?

[DouglasS]

Seems all the little mix group are jumping on the documentary bandwagon.

Black women and POC have always excelled in the music industry I thought, black women in particular are some of the biggest selling divas of the 80s and 90s (Whitney Houston, Janet Jackson for just two examples but there are so many)

She earns millions, living her dream, dating a footballer and yet she’s life’s victim

Well then, never mind the actual experiences of WOC in the industry because "Douglas thought".

Money, dreams and a footballer... the three things you need to avoid racism.

If you're more offended about people talking about racism then you are about racism itself, you're part of the problem.

No one is offended

Just think she’s copied Jesy to make a documentary as it worked out with Jesy. Feel like if the documentary was about bullying she’d have done that instead. Just grabbing cash where she can

[Tom4784]

There is certainly offense. Screaming about how they are professional victims and their music is 'terrible' just because a black woman spoke about racism reeks of people being offended by the discussion of racism. A bunch of white men downplaying her experiences and victim blaming because they don't want to hear is them being offended by the discussion of racism.

Its just another Bandwagon to jump on. If you have any kind of objection to it you must be Racist...

What reason would people have to object to a woman speaking about her own experiences of racism in her industry? By all means, tell us.
