I'm seriously glad I wasn't the only one who believed that the whole bedroom incident between Jeff and Day was racially charged. Even when it aired the racial undertones was so apparent, it was insulting for them to make some invalid excuse to it. Plain and simple, a black girl roaming the house to them, probably triggered a "oh she's going to touch our stuff" type of logic.
Someone in this thread said Day could have missed with her stuff and that is probably why they were nervous, I agree with your post.
I'm sorry, but y'all REALLY need to stop deriding and dismissing people's valid concerns about racism.
It's offensive as HELL because these types of microaggressions and lowkey racial undertones are so deeply ingrained into our society that we don't even notice. And in a show like Big Brother, which is a microcosm of American society where White Americans are overly represented, those types of microaggressions sand racial undertones are only intensified. No one is saying that Clay and Shelli said, "Day's Black, we hate Black people, so she's gotta go." The type of racism that plagues American culture today is NOT overt. You don't have to hear someone be called the N word in order to call a situation racially charged.
Just because talking racism makes YOU uncomfortable,
doesn't mean others can't talk about it. Especially when it's something that affects POC every single damn day.
So basically, kindly shut the hell up about the topic if you can't speak intelligently and critically about it.
Thanks!
come thru!!
the ones who "don't want to see racism" choose not to see it or are comfortable with not seeing it cuz it doesn't affect them. period.
now if shelli can put audrey up, and keep queen day here.. i'm all for it

As sad as that is, that's just the mentality of people.if it was anyone else in that house who would've done that, we probably wouldn't have heard about it.
