Why is it alright to have a straight racist group meant to get rid of all the white people?

Did you also think it was racist when Jackson, Jack, Holly, and Analyse sent minorities home the first three weeks straight, or did you defend it as game play?


On premiere night, when Christian picked Alyssa I said it was a stupid move because it made them a target.

Several people chimed in defending him saying things to the effect of “oh it’s just natural and human nature to feel more comfortable and pair up with people who look like you”.


Ok, why is it so offensive, then, for the members of the cookout to do the same thing?

That entire group formed through a 2-3 minute passing conversation in the kitchen with the whole house just a few feet away in the living room.

Tiffany was washing dishes while DF and Ky were eating and as Xavier walked by Tiff just casually said, “and this doesn’t even need to be said but we got each other, we just can’t do this (gesturing to them all meeting together)” and all of them nodding and Xavier saying “Cookout” as he walked away.

That’s it. Couldn’t have been more natural.


They didn’t all sit around plotting saying let’s take down all the white people, like so many stupid all girls alliances have tried to do against the guys almost every year. They simply found an obvious connection, and said let’s be aware of each other and look out for each other, and they’ve done an excellent job of doing so.


I think it was a simple strategy that made perfect sense for them to do, and the way the teams were broken up only added to the effectiveness of it.

And of course Frenchie’s two week suicide made it easier than they probably ever imagined it could have been.


Anyone offended by this is looking for any way to be offended and is probably just as obsessed with race as they are claiming the cookout to be.
