Is anyone uncomfortable with black women routinely being demonised on this show

Alexandra getting ripped for daring to give opinions as a guest Judge.
Misha B being ripped for everything for weeks, and paying the price for it in the bottom 2.
Kelly being lambasted for being ill and called a "phony" for having a sick voice, among other things she getting crap for.
Does anyone feel that black women have to be incredibly bland to avoid this sort of treatment? I shudder to think how people would react to Tulisa's behavior if she was a black woman (calling herself "the female boss", shoving her tattoos in people's faces and other behavior that would be deemed "arrogant" and offensive when done by a black lady). Tulisa gets some criticism of course, but it feels tame. I think it'd be much uglier if she was black.

very few black acts make live shows but when they do - they do very well.
If anything the X Factor audience have issues with white women.
I am a bit curious as to why they replaced Kelly with another black woman, like they all look the same to the audience so they won't notice
I think we should give people some credit. I haven't seen any racism, just bitching.
And the black females that don't get any sh****t are meek little mouses. i.e. Leona and Rebecca. don't get me wrong, they're both talented but they have no discernable personalties whatsoever.
Tulisa gets moaned about like they do! She's seen as useless sometimes, then better at others.
Every single judge has been moaned about white or black. So has every contestant. It's been pick on Frankie week this week and last time I checked he was still white.
Stop being the person who has to bring up the race thing every time. Your point is foolish and incorrect.
Cher Lloyd isn't black
Katie Waissel isn't black
Tulisa isn't black
I'm sure racism exists, but just because a black woman is disliked it doesn't mean it's racism. Maybe she just bugs?
If you're mixed race its a different matter
Yes Cherl Cole, Cher Lloyd, Katie Waistell, Kitty...
So is Rufus Hound a racist I'm presuming? Tinchy Stryder said he agreed with some of his comments too so does that mean Tinchy is also racist then?! The mind boggles.....
All the contestants and all the judges cop it on here. I think it's more to do with there being a huge variety of personal tastes on here rather that anyone having an issue with skin colour.
