So there's going to be a miss black america?

So,

Im lying in the tanning bed listening to the radio when I hear about auditions for MISS BLACK OREGON! The top finalists will win a chance to enter MISS BLACK AMERICA! %26amp;%26amp; this sh!t is for real.

Now, I have read bulletins about us being racist if we had "wet" T.V. and sh!t like that, %26amp;%26amp; I've also seen the sh!t about how all of our television channels are white television. SOMEWHAT true....but this crap Im hearing is just rediculous.

I've already done my research.. and I have never heard of a MISS WHITE AMERICA. If I DO RECALL, MISS AMERICA consists of whites, blacks, asians, mexicans, you name it. Why did black folks need to make a MISS AMERICA for themselves? Strange.

Im not racist.

Im just saying.

Cause we WOULD be racist if we had a "MISS WHITE AMERICA"

%26amp;%26amp; thats FOR DAMN sure.

Can anyone agree with me on this one?

I agree completely. To have a miss black america will only emphasize our differences, rather than forgetting them and coming together despite them. (Plus, there is no black america. It's just the UNITED States of America. This doesn't sound UNITED to me.)

There's a different standard of beauty in the black community. Maybe the Miss Black America pageant considers people that would not otherwise 'fit' in the Miss America pageant.

Is there a website for this contest? It would be interesting to see what the requirements for entry would be. Are people of mixed race permitted to join? Does having light skin or dark make a difference? Does it include black people from various Latin American, Caribbean, and African countries or only some of them? Who or what is sponsoring this contest? I need those details in order to determine if it is racist or an opportunity for women to compete in a beauty contest and be proud of themselves without having to conform to a standard of "white beauty"
