The “Cookout”

Azah on ‘Big Brother’

In an interesting turn of events on a really bad show (Big Brother), it turns out the ‘fro bros got together in a secret alliance (the “cookout”) to target the white folk so that the final six were all black. Try for a second (one second) to imagine the outcry if white people had done that? (excuse me ‘dunnit’) Cities would burn. A bigger bunch of racists I’ve never seen.

That’s the sad part, how far we haven’t come. The war of the races goes on.

[Never having watched Big Brother prior to about 5 weeks ago, I did not understand that an African American (brother) had never won the show in 23 seasons. Now that I know that, I better understand their motivation for making sure the final six be black. I should probably write this date down, I think its the first time I’ve been wrong. It doesn’t change the fact all 6 seem obnoxious as hell.]
