The new family feud has become very racist! Does the American population is 12% black you can almost guarantee there is a black family on every episode and most times a black against another black you can’t tell me that represents the US in general and that they are misleading and putting black contestants on more than whites which is racism! No that’s the world we live in but wrong is wrong and needs to be corrected. I and a lot of my friends and family members have stopped watching it because of the blatant racism against white people!

Steve Harvey is rude to EVERYONE! I am watching Family Feud right now & he is being so rude to the black family that is on. The white family even told him that they are a nice family because it was so uncomfortable how annoyed he was with the family. I like Steve Harvey, & I think he’s funny but he definitely could be a little more tolerant with people.

Observations:

* Ever notice that they throw in a question in the Fast Money round that includes guessing a number, a spread of 1 to 10 or percentage? Guaranteed no one will ever get but a few points.

* They used to say (not sure if they still do)...We surveyed 100 people. And if you add up the points sometimes it doesn't add up to 100! Sounds like the producers pick out off the wall answers so there is no way you could get it right.

* Blatant racism. Their application should have a disclaimer: IF YOU ARE NOT BLACK, NO NEED TO APPLY!

The entire show is rigged. Don't get me started on how Steve has to have his ego stroked on a regular basis when the writers put him up on the board. Yuck.

They used to do that with the annoying dawson, as if the people surveyed would name dawson for anything.

Steve Harvey is a giant loser and needs to be replaced. Hes so obviously prejudiced. I have come to hate watching and listening to him.

I don’t know since the US is only 12% black. There should be more Hispanic families represented than black.

Why does Steve look at the producer when a black family answers the question then shakes his yes and the answer suddenly appears

Is Steve Harvey racist? I find myself asking throughout the show. I find that he is extremely rude to any constant that is not African American, rolling his eyes rude comments towards the guest. Why show the world this type of hate? They say that hate is taught. So he is teaching hate! What a shame. I loved this show growing up. I just find this sad. We are suppose to love one another. Want love teach love be love! May god bless him. Mr Harvey money won’t get you into heaven. I’m just saying...

As long as Steve pits blacks against whites, it will further the division between the races. He definitely favors the black families over the whites. I am not saying they should not compete against each other, just that Steve has to treat them equally. He is so disgusted when a white family wins, it’s very uncomfortable

Steve isn't pitting blacks against whites, rioting, looking. Destroying our monuments, burning things down and committing violent crimes I s what is dividing us

I have noticed that the questions given to black families have an obvious answer ..hence high numbers...example "name something you brush" ...the obvious answer is either teeth or hair... this was a question given you a black family for the $20, 000 session of the show.
I have seen white families given questions where the # 1 answer has only 21 points...clearly the distribution of the rest of the answers are lower numbers...THEY RIG the winners by feeding them "easily-high-point" questions...and gee...it happens to be black families...

If the Producers want to be honest...they should rename the show..."See Black Families win lots of MONEY"... and show it on the BET network...

I was watch the show on 08/05/18 at 8:30pm with the family's Lennear and Petruccelle.as the the petruccelle family was trying to figure out a answer, the lennear family was giving them the x sign accept for one (Leanard) he cave a hangmen's noose sign, the lennear family is black and the petruccelle seamed to be Itailan.ihave looked up different races that have been hung over centuries and blacks came at the bottom of people hung.the Irish, jews, itailans.germen, scothish, and so on were hung and worst at a much more alarming rate. so I found it VERY RACIEST, but its ok on Steve Harvey's show, I thing Steve things it funny to allow these kind of jesters to happen to none blacks. I am willing to contact a attorney since I cant contact the NAACP due them being bias to blacks. Will also be writing our great President about this raciest action. I expect a response to my complaint.reaper4026@hotmail.com.thank you

Steve harvey always says low toned to black families that lose, not whites ever, ya'll make me proud! he also says to black families only, ya'll look good on tv. now what kind of comments are those if not racist... stupid ones for sure. it's like he's saying since ya'll are black, got on tv and so you are smart. he can't even say the word "that" correctly... he says "dat". he could make some others proud of him if he took an english course. there are sexual? and answers to keep ratings up but sad when a family cannot watch "family" fued because of it together. steve also needs to stop with the "fake" laughing... pretending something is cracking him up. I want to barf.

He also makes a big deal about a contestant in a black family has a great job or in college. And makes a big deal. Not so much with another ethnicity.

I have noticed the same thing as listed above, it appears as though he doesn't like when a white family wins and for ie; as I was just watching a black contestant did'not get her answer in on time when going for the 20, 000 and he always accepts their answers, when it happens to a white contestant, he's like oh.. you did'not make it on time it's very obvious.

I agree with you, steve harvey is very much against white people. this has happened over multiple family feud where he is so obvious with facial expressions and treatment of the white families and overly kind and jovial with the black families. when black families lose, he is is sad and sorry but does not do the same when a white family wins. get rid of this rude, foul-mouthed host. I will not watch this show any more until a new host can be found.

The new host of Family Feud will be probably a white woman.
