Most of the time that show would have like 1 or 2 black people on it and they would always say "We've never had a black winner" or "The blacks are always voted out first."
In season 23, 6 black people got together and decided to just vote out anyone that isn't black. They claimed this was some kind of black empowerment bullshit or something. But all they did was exactly what they accused white people of doing (which they haven't been doing) for the past 21 years on the show, which is vote out based on race. Their alliance was called "The Cookout"
Cut to this past season, there is of course loads of minorities, which by the way - I really don't have any problem with at all. I just wish they'd take this race shit out of it and just play the damn game. Whites are not being racist at all. (Except for a few horrible white women on season 15, but that's a whole different story).. But anyway, there was one white guy (Kyle) on this season, who brought up the fact that "hey - maybe... there's another cookout happening?" He brought that up with a white man (Michael) and a white woman (Brittany). Perfectly innocent, by the way.. I mean.. it DID happen the year before. SIX black people got together and said "Let's vote everybody else out". Why wouldn't it happen again? Is it really THAT insane to think the same thing might happen twice?
Anyway, Michael and Brittany went and told the black folks about this. And boy oh fuckin boy, they were not happy. The blacks weren't working together this time around, so Kyle wasn't right about it... But, so what? Best to cover all your bases, right? Every single black person in the house started accusing Kyle of blatant racism. Even all the rest of the white houseguests joined in too and said he was racist and they're not going to stand for that. His own friend, another white guy, decided then and there to get rid of him. The whole entire house voted him out in a unanimous vote.
Kyle was clearly distraught. He was crying. Like imagine that - You go on a game / reality show, and you just so happen to mention "Hey.. maybe they're doing the same thing they did last year." And the whole entire house (And all of America) hates you now and views you as a racist piece of trash. It spread ALL across the internet too. You couldn't even go on any social media website without seeing all out hatred for Kyle. And if you even mention anything positive about Kyle everyone accuses you of racism too.
So, for the rest of the season, because this man still had to go on jury and vote for the winner, he kept on apologizing over and over, saying he's got "a lot to learn" and all that crap. He knew that once someone plays the race card, you've lost. Argument over. You cannot have any sort of rebuttal because if you double down or try to defend yourself, they'll double down on their racism allegations.
Yet... The man didn't do anything even remotely racist.
This is what reality TV has come to.
