American Idol is at the centre of a racism row after nine black former contestants claimed that they were all forced off the show as part of a racist plan to boost ratings.
The singers, from various seasons, are preparing to take legal action against the hit talent show which they say "permanently and severely impaired" their personal and professional lives.

Let me guess . . . . . . these are all Obama supporters who believe that EVERYONE should win American Idol.
Except the white contestants.
Yeah, Randy Jackson would agree with that.
“...... and then disqualifying them due to their criminal records.”
Anything I say at this point would certainly be considered racist.
LMAO.....
Everyone should know by now that the only way a black can win the Grand Prize is if the other blacks that would give him competition get eliminated early. This is because the Black vote out there is so overwhelmingly Racist, it would get split and the non-Black contestant would benefit.
lolol
permanent and severely impaired?
lolol
Nikki Minaj doesn’t like Odumbo as she endorsed Romney.
Ruben Studdard is a black man from Alabama, and he won. He was over weight and sweaty. The thing was, he could sing.
So they will deliberately let untalented people win. How is this different from the way people are hired for the IRS and the Post Office?
Does any achievement mean anything anymore?
They have a point. The whole entertainment industry is racist. A black person can’t catch a break. It’s almost as segregated as professional sports, and you know how bad that is. The American public simply won’t support black entertainers, athletes, etc.
/mind-numbing stupidity
“You were brought on the show because you were black. You were off the show when they found you had no talent.”
To be fair, when I watched the show, none of them was that extraordinarily talented, black or white. Certainly Clay Aiken was not more talented than Ruben Stoddard. Talent really doesn’t have anything to do with American Idol, since it’s a glorified popularity contest.
Anyway, if anyone is racist, wouldn’t it have to be the viewers, since they are the ones that voted them off?
Don’t give her ideas. She’ll have a duck for an alternate personality on her next single.
Id like to have Nicki Minaj in my duck boat in October. she could just talk constantly and the mallards would come in large flocks, Her voice is much like the noise that ducks make while feeding.
I’d like to see a mallard in her seat at the judges’ table. I’d understand it better than I can her.
What did Sue ever do to deserve this?
Why are the "dissing" her?
What...? Oh! Wait a minute.
"Nine BlackS Reject Sue"
(dyslexia strikes again)
Everything is racist all the time.
Stick a fork in that show...it’s done!
When I first laid eyes on this Nicki Manaj a couple of weeks back, I thought it was Jessica Rabbit with some work done.
Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson and Reuben Studdard say hello...
