Racism? Big Brother Brazil contestant doesn’t want white people in the program
Fred Nicácio, a contestant on TV Globo’s Big Brother Brazil (BBB), said he doesn’t want to see white people in the program’s finale.
He made the statement during a conversation with his reality show colleagues.
“I want this entire house black,” he stated while his colleagues laughed.
“I don’t want any white people in here. I don’t. I want Big Black Brazil.”
Nicácio has been back in the BBB since the beginning of this week.
He had been eliminated 15 days earlier, with more than 60% of the votes.
The return occurred on Thursday (24) when the program held a playoff with all the eliminated contestants.
Part of the public voted for Nicácio’s return.
He had only a 3% lead over another contestant, Key Alves.
When he returned to the program, Nicácio told his colleagues that protesters invaded the Three Powers headquarters in Brasilia on January 8.
“The bolsominions are bold,” he said, referring to supporters of Jair Bolsonaro.
“Xandão [Justice Alexandre de Moraes] arrested everyone.”
Nicácio recalled that there are protesters arrested to this day.
“I didn’t see the scenes, but it seems cars caught fire,” he said.
“They arrested everyone. Delightful, right? Well done! People don’t respect democracy; it’s impressive. A president is elected cleanly by the people. And a minority doesn’t accept it.”
