- ‘It’s bigger than me’: Tychon Carter-Newman on making history as Big Brother’s first ever Black winner

From the beginning, Tychon Carter-Newman’s goal entering the “Big Brother Canada” house this year was to become the show’s first Black winner, to represent possibility to others looking up to him.

On Thursday evening he made history after more than 30 seasons of the North American franchise, taking home the “Big Brother Canada” Season 9 prize of $100,000.

“It’s bigger than me,” Carter-Newman told the Star. “The message it sends having a Black winner of such a prominent show let’s Black people all around North America know that we can do anything once we set our minds to it.”

Carter-Newman also became the only player through nine seasons to never be nominated for eviction en route to a 6-1 victory in the finale.

Along with Carter-Newman, contestant Breydon White was also a part of the show’s history in the first all-Black final two. Throughout the show, viewers saw the two discuss what it would mean to make it to the end together.

“I wanted to send a message to the world that Black people can achieve greatness,” said Carter-Newman. “I wanted to guarantee that someone Black would win the game. I wanted to put ourselves in a position to make history.”

Through the first eight seasons of “Big Brother Canada,” only 12 per cent out of the 117 players identified as Black. In Season 9, Black contestants made up more than 35 per cent of the cast.

He tweeted;

Same way other races won it, but the first time a BLACK MAN won, they had to sensitize it. It is common sense that a minority win would be sensitized, be it racial, gender or a combination of both.

Is there any redpiller with sense?

judgedredd22:

so there is a minority 'gender'? inúkwa!!!

The minority was italicized for a reason. To your question, there are things people of a particular age, race, gender or whatever are deemed incapable of pulling off. The glass ceiling is there...

Obama was the 44th President of America. Not 1st, not 2nd, not even 20th- but we all know how much buzz that made. All because he was BLACK!!!

Black men and WOMEN were happy. If Obama was a woman with a vagina, I am sure black men would spend more time analyzing why she isn’t worth the hype or who she fcked to become the POTUS. Sometimes I wonder why you guys do not take this battle outside. Go slug it out with Chinese, Indians and Americans in tech.

Every time una dey Naija dey drag with women.

There's always a first, sir. A black man is winning it for the first time after all these years and they're already disturbing people (using your words), yet whites who have been winning are not complaining. Before this "man" won it, both men and women have been winning. I don't even know why Nigerians like division and power struggle. You're already divided along tribal, religious and regional lines, and now it's gender. It's as if everyone is fighting everyone in that country. Other countries are busy empowering thier women but you guys will go to any length to keep them subdued for the fear that you'd lose your gender superiority.

QUOTA SYSTEM WINNER

AFFIRMATIVE ACTION WINNER

Anything that has the first black at the beginning of the sentence know that it is Quota system working

When you look at the contestant list, someone will think that canada is 50% black and 50% white

Congrats to the winner... Lucky he is in a country that encourages diversity and inclusion.
I would celebrate even more if it was a black woman or any woman of colour.

Our women should not only be seen but should be encouraged to give voice to their values and opinion.

Base on my intellectual capacity and my vast knowledge, tactically and tentatively, right from the beginning of times especially in the light of Ecclesiastes evolution I have come to a concrete definite and profound conclusion that I actuallyhave nothing to say
