And when the black group couldn't get the raft together, I thought to myself: There will be a lot of editorials using Survivor examples as indicative of some larger race issues. I can see a "why is the Black community so divided" editorial based on the black group's inability to put the boat together.

Nonsense and gooblygob.

I noticed that and thought wow it is still happening. Once the host mentioned it, the ladies hemmed and hawed about it.

I also noticed how Sekou called them girls at one point while building the hut.

You're right that the raft exercise will lead to "Houses Divided Cannot Put Rafts Together" commentary after this episode.

Well, I saw it but didn't pay that much attention. We were at an alumnae event and the TV was on in the background. There is an AOII competing. The pieces that I did see were the challenge and when the men exiled the other guy. I couldn't understand why the women didn't take part in that decision. Very strange. I'll try to watch again next week when I can pay closer attention.

tangent - Every time I see the name Sekou, I think that it says Suduku like the puzzle.

They were allowing the men to take charge, perhaps because the men jumped out front. We all know that "men" means "I know what I'm doing" and "I have to take charge."

God forbid women take charge or at least participate in decisions. Bitchy femini-nazis act like they don't need men to think. Or even angry black women with opinions.
