Three Black people in final 3 of Survivor Fiji?

History has finally been made, a black man will make it past the final five of Survivor:Fiji. Number 5 has been the glass ceiling for black men on the reality show Survivor. The ceiling was very visible back on season 4 Surivor:Marquesas, where Sean was voted out number 5 in one of the most dramatic tribal councils. The odd thing about Marquesas was that the black woman Vi won the million dollars. So the #5 ceiling only applied to black men, a black woman can fly under the radar. The very next Survivor:Thailand, Ted got his walking papers at magic #5. In the tribal councils in which a the black man went out at #5 there was always a heated exchange where the black man was supposed to accept one for the team. On the Thailand season Ted was best friends with the two white men who went onto the final 2, but was still tossed aside at #5 with their votes against him. Ted even made a point to call one of them, Clay, as being a racist redneck.

Now in a weird turn of fate not only will a black man make it past magic #5, but there is a chance that there could be three black people in the final three, Dreamz + Earl + Cassandra. We can only hope and see on sunday. The only thing that could be sicker is if both black men make it to the final 2, that might make up for Sean, Ted and all the other black man Survivor drama.

Although I never tried out for the show and I cannot swim (there is always a lot of swimming or boating) I always had the idea that if I was on the show I would love to try and engineer something like that. So it just warms my heart to see black people sticking together that way and doing something so visible.
