The humiliation levels young black women on the UK's Love Island encountered this week has been the worst we have seen in any given season. If you thought the seasons with Samira and Yewande were bad, this current one takes the cake!!!! Kaz Kamwi is a very attractive woman. Yet... no man chose her in the beginning and by default she had to couple up with screw loose Toby. She failed to recognise the signs that he wasn't attracted to her, though it was painfully obvious to the viewers. When he moved to Chloe, he failed to give her the heads up, and even flaunted it in her face.
Bombshell Rachel Finni came in and had to save one of two men to couple up with. A lose lose situation given that she wasn't their type on paper. She chose Brad and even got intimate with him. But as soon as he was safe he dropped her for Lucinda. Yesterday's episode was the first night of Casa Amor. In an attempt to break the ice, the men played truth or dare with the newbies.
Beautiful Salma Naran was completely ignored when the men had to kiss which women they were attracted to. If you're not white and blonde, a black girl doesn't stand a chance. Over the few years, black women have been consistently shunned, and it's been hard to watch. It doesn't matter how pretty she is. This show is a definite self esteem killer to any black woman. It will eat away at her confidence. None of them had issues attracting men on the outside, so surely they must be questioning themselves? I totally get that most of them go on the show for opportunities, to further their careers and to bag Pretty Little Thing deals, but at what cost? Their pride? Their mental health? I've been watching the current Love Island USA, and the difference and contrast is absolutely insane.
