Yet you stated Heavy D was white. He isn't.
hes half white and looks more white then anything, he doesnt look like obama or halle berry hence why i thought he was white and i thought he may have been a white person of greek or spanish heritage. its the same argument with jade goody, people kept saying she cant be racist because shes mixed race when in reality she looked white and was as she was 75 percent white and 25 per cent black and she had no asian hertage so it was irrelavent.

no contraversial black housemate has never been liked on big brother, in order for a black hm to be loved he has to be very nice and this is based on big brother history not my opinions. brian belo won yes people will bring that up for every argument.
Careful, your agenda is slipping out.

Color has very little to do with it. A woman usually goes at the start of the eviction process, this one is just a bit behind scheduled.
Yep. It's like when you toss a coin and it always comes up heads on the first toss. And if it doesn't then it's just a bit behind schedule.

Don't be silly.

I don't get defensive about your posts. I struggle to understand them half the time, so I am just asking for clarification on some points. That is what we are supposed to do, no?
well everybody else understood it hence why they answered the question, your the only one who had to ask like you do on every thread i make

I wouldn't have guessed Heavy D was mixed race just by looking at him - what races is he exactly?

his wikipedia page has him down as black, mind you it also says he's dead so just shows how (un) reliable wiki is

Tiffany - people grew to love her last year, she livened up the show, was hysterical and pretty smart. Not sure she was contraversial, although she certainly expressed her sexual self in an interesting fashion

no mate someone stated that if bear was a black man and attractive he would get away with it and im simply stating that none of the black hms who have done well in big brother were contraversial like helen wood, arron,Jason and others.

Are you saying that I shouldn't ask questions in your threads?

Well you can not dictate who can and can not ask questions. I never asked you anything in your Heavy D thread did I?

You just can't answer them, that is why you're using deflection to avoid answering anything.

It's pretty obvious what this thread is about btw. You do a couple every series.

You'll be accused of trolling and/or told to "bore off" soon enough. Asking for clarification on DS is the equivalent of vehemently disagreeing, apparently. Particularly when you find a sore point.

I cannot freaking believe we have another PC nonsense thread so desperate to attach "ism" labels to anything and everything.

Keep it though, the more those terms are thrown around like a cry-wolf helps devalue and discredit their usage, which suits me just fine.

Ahhh... Well, if Wikipedia wasn't informative enough at least we can rely on you to straighten things out. So he was a rapper, you say?

I seem to recall he also likes to make threads asking which female housemate is the best at brawling.

I referred to him as Heavy C a few times. That was before I discovered that his name was Colin though.

You have answered nothing, but that is no surprise.

What is my game then? I have no game here.

This is a discussion board. If you're going to say things, then they're going to be discussed.

I am beginning to think I am not welcome in gentleguy's threads. My feelings are hurt now.

Were they by GG?

That's because there hasn't been a black male HM who was anything like Bear. In fact, Bello would be the closest to him in terms of loudness and energy. Derek is one controversial HM who comes to mind, he was vicious and he did well. Coolio and Daley were two other controversial ones, neither were voted out.

As for the others, Jason's only controversial moment was taking the money and Helen was a woman and had a buy to the final, so I don't know why you'd even bring her up.

Why does it matter?

If it turns out he's mixed race some will say 'you see, there's no racism involved'. If it turns out he's white, some will say 'see, there is racism involved'

Caring about his 'ethnic extraction' in this day and age is rather worrying in itself.
