‘Big Brother’ Star Tiffany Mitchell Says It’s Not Her Job to Explain to Fans Why Her All-Black Alliance Wasn’t Racist

Tiffany Mitchell, who was awarded the title of “America’s Favorite Player,” during the 23rd season of CBS’ “Big Brother” that aired its finale last week, said it wasn’t her job to explain to fans why the all-Black alliance she spearheaded wasn’t “racist.”

The all-Black alliance – called “The Cookout” – made its way to the end of “Big Brother,” ensuring that all six of its players occupied spots in the show’s top six.

Xavier Prather, a 27-year-old lawyer who lives in Milwaukee, became the first Black winner in the history of the CBS show, taking home the $750,000 prize more than two decades after “Big Brother” first aired. Season 23 also marked the first time in “Big Brother” history that the nine-person jury of eliminated houseguests who choose the winner included no white men.

Despite the widespread support for the first Black winner of the long-running CBS show, some fans have accused the all-Black alliance of being racist toward the non-Black players {snip}

“It is unfortunate that they don’t see the bigger picture. Unity is welcomed in all other communities and cultures when people come together except for in the African-American culture,” Mitchell told Insider.

“It is not my job, nor my role, nor my obligation to explain racism or reverse racism to anyone,” Mitchell told Insider. “{snip} Those people will have to get educated on racism and reverse racism. If there even is such a thing.”
