| Last Saturday night, I spent two hours planted on the | | | | #MissVirginia!!! hahaha... #Obama wins and now a |
| couch, in my robe, under a blanket, eating chips and | | | | Black Girl won MISS AMERICA!!! |
| trying to convince myself to get motivated enough to | | | | @xxxxxx really? Kewl Beans!!!lol first a black |
| look like the girls I was watching in the Miss America | | | | president, now a black #MissAmerica...we runnin' this |
| pageant (put the chips away, Jen). | | | | country now...lmao |
| Just so you know, Miss West Virginia didn't even make | | | | Now, substitute the words "black" for "white" and what |
| the first cut - but that's okay. I wasn't all that impressed | | | | do you get? Racism. |
| - if I was being incredibly shallow and judging solely on | | | | This absolutely fires me up. Why is it okay for one |
| appearance. (Isn't that what pageants really are | | | | race to have mouth vomit but not okay for another? |
| anyway?) | | | | Let me make this very clear: I do not care that Miss |
| I watch every year. If I miss it, it's being TiVoed. I | | | | America is black, white, purple, pink, tye-dye. Nor do I |
| remember sitting in front of the oven in the house I | | | | care what color skin our President has. Or the next |
| grew up in, staring at my reflection, thinking about being | | | | person. What I do care about, however, is the equality |
| Miss America. But, apparently you no longer accurately | | | | bull that our country is dealing with. Black people say |
| represent America when you've been divorced, so my | | | | they want equality for all races. I want equality for all |
| chances are out. Oh well. I don't want millions of people | | | | races. What happens, though, is what you see here: |
| to see me in a bikini anyway. (Or anyone, for that | | | | acceptance for black people to have black pride, but |
| matter.) | | | | racism if white people have white pride. And I'm tired |
| You know how when you watch shows like this, there | | | | of it. |
| are two or three contestants that stick out - that you | | | | Let's give equality to everyone! Let's not be allowed to |
| know the winner is within that little group. Well, I wanted | | | | say anything about any race... or be able to say |
| Kentucky to win (fourth runner up? You got jipped, | | | | anything about any race. Let's give equal opportunity to |
| honey!). So gorgeous, poised, down-to-earth. | | | | all people - not have a black quota to fill in the |
| Everything Miss America should be. | | | | workplace and not give the job to a less qualified |
| But no, Miss Virginia won. And although she didn't shine | | | | white person. Let's not make it acceptable for black |
| to me at all, it wasn't my choice. Congratulations, Miss | | | | people to call one another the N word while it's |
| Virginia! | | | | unacceptable for anyone else to! FAIRNESS! What |
| What came after the pageant was over is what got | | | | happened to this being the best country in the world? |
| me all riled up, though. | | | | I know this makes me sound very racist, and quite |
| I jumped on Twitter to check out what other people | | | | frankly, I don't care. Because if Miss Kentucky had |
| were saying about #missamerica. Here's what I got: | | | | won like I had hoped, and I tweeted, "#missamerica is |
| #missamerica is black! yay her! | | | | white! yay her," I'd be in jail today. |
| RT @xxxxxxxx: RT @xxxxxxx: white people mad.. | | | | Jesus loves the little children. All the children of the |
| first the president? now this, AGAIN!? RT @xxxxxxx: | | | | world. Red and yellow, black and white, they are |
| all black everything? lol #missamerica | | | | precious in His sight. Jesus loves the little children of the |
| RT @xxxxxx: YEAAAA!!! #MissAmerica is | | | | world. |
