'Will we ever get to a point in which the 'angry black woman' stereotype will be debunked on reality TV?'was making its return after a five year hiatus, the excitement was through the roof. We were witnessing history being made as the social experiment returned. In an era that many were usingBut that excitement started to fall short as we watched a rise in microaggressions, and the stereotypical and clichéd descriptions of a black woman being uttered by other housemates.
The scene that reiterated the 'angry black woman' trope - and was most triggering and uncomfortable to watch - was during nominations in week three. The majority of the housemates nominated Trish. Now it wasn’t the fact that she was nominated because that is the aim of the game right? But it was the words they used to describe her in their reasons for nominations.
Unfortunately, this is the stigma that many black girls are bombarded with on a daily basis. When they talk a decibel higher, they are automatically reprimanded as loud. And while many may believe the word loud doesn’t mean anything, it is the most loaded and stereotypical word to call a black woman.
