Racy Idol Pics Spark Racism Debate

The first big controversy of the show's sixth season swelled Tuesday when fans and a civil-rights activist rallied to Davis's side, saying she was the victim of unfair and potentially biased treatment. Davis is black; Barba is white.

"We object to having one rule for black contestants and a different rule for white contestants who exhibit the same behaviour," said Najee Ali, community activist and founder of Project Islamic H.O.P.E.
