Yes, just like having a black president ended racism in America.

This win could be read by the ultra cynical as ultimate damage limitation following the first three eliminations of Melvin, Tameka & Naga...

But The Sun accused (us) the voting SCD public if being racist.

It's amazing that in 2016 skin colour is considered important.

They'll still be able to twist things their way by saying we didn't vote for Oti, or there were only 2 black people in the final and 4 white people. It sells papers that's all.

BBC went into overdrive. That's why Ore won. He'd have been out a few weeks ago otherwise. Ironically, Danny could've won and it wouldn't be racist - Oti's from South Africa!

Instead to counter the racism they give the glitterball to a private school kid and a white woman from Grimsby. Yawn.

The BBC didn't go into overdrive on him, all reports I viewed were equal.

When the tabloids make up their stories on SCD it's about the celebrities where the voting public are accused and we vote for the celebrities.

Where anyone went to school has nothing to do with it in anyway whatsoever.

It took 11 years for Strictly to feature a black professional and 12 for a black winner to emerge...still wondering why skin colour is considered important?

That'll be why they've never shut up about Ore on Breakfast then? Or why Ore has been on ITT more than anyone else recently?

The BBC wanted Ore to win and the judges overmarked him all the way through to trick people into thinking he was better than he was. Ore was in the bottom two twice for a reason - people just didn't like him. Ore should've gone weeks ago, frankly.

ITT has been balance on airtime on every celebrity, that's totally incorrect.

BBC Breakfast will mention him, he is part of their team, but mention the others as well.

This morning an example very balance and they were balanced on who would win.

Danny was is the dance off last week, as well something you ignored. Your quite economical with the truth.

Lewis Smith, Alesha Dixon? Let's get to stage where we can just vote for the people we like without this being an issue. That's the ultimate end to racism.

Well it might be the case but he has been overmarked the whole season to get him into the final although to be fair tonight he wasn't overmarked in his last two dances.

Some of us didn't need tricking. We could see how good Ore is.

I'm sorry if your favourite didn't win but no need to start calling it a fix, although it inevitably happens, every year, just like Christmas.

Shhh, you keep telling yourself that. The best dancer won. I know it may choke you but you need to get over it. By God, it was a glorious win

People OBVIOUSLY liked him cos he won!!

The judges have pushed other dancers on previous years & they still didn't win.

Ore's standards just increased in the last 2-3 weeks unfortunately Louise seemed to have peaked too soon

Ore danced the best routines tonight, plain & simple. the other 2 made more mistakes.

Ore held his nerve when it mattered- during the dances. The golden Hollywood era theme of 2 out of the 3 dances is a popular one with Strictly audiences.

Danny was a controversial contestant due to the sheer volume of dance training he'd obviously had. He didnt really fit into the "celeb learns to dance" ethos of Strictly

YOU seem to be the one who wants to focus on race here.
