Radoillo: Amen, so true there are Miss Asia America and Miss Hispanic America but nobody weirdly brings those ones up but the african american beauty pageants are brought up and it makes me conclude that they are bothered by the african american one more. I think its because the history between african americans and white americans is very bitter and more deep then the history between white americans and other minorities like Asians and hispanics(which is not a race mind you, so white hispanics may have a different experience from non-white hispanics in America). I'm surprised a white man made those statements lol, white americans are actually lucky that they don't need such things as the NAACP or a Miss white america pageant. 3 Likes |

anonymous6: The sentence I've highlighted is actually a great point, and explains why a black pageant may ruffle more feathers than an Asian-American one. 3 Likes |

About the white guy, I know a number of white people like that. Sometimes it even comes across like they are trying too hard not to be racist. I'm almost like, "Dude chill, I get it. You are not racist." 3 Likes |

Radoillo: Exactly, Asian american history with white americans has been pretty decent for the exception of world war 2 when asians were discriminated in the west coast due to Japan being on Germany's side and bombing pearl Harbor but besides that Asians are living it in America. Hispanics are a second group of people, first of all they are not a race so that adds to the complexities of them but in the end of the day it's not intense historically with white americans like african americans However I will add that there has been for the past decades and a growing hatred towards them especially in the southwestern and some southern states in America cause of illegal immigrants coming from Mexico going into those states particularily Mexicans. In the end of the day the history between white americans and africans americans was more damaging sadly, the only other group that got it worst off in history is Native Americans in their own land. |

Radoillo: Yea it is funny lol, I know some white people like that as well they are not racist but caution how they communicate about race especially when it comes african americans. |

anonymous6:Yeah you're very correct. Anyone who complains is either white or silly lol and I can't help either of them. They should go and read a history book. Why are there even black universities and women universities and orginizations for all these gay people. Oppressed groups. Mmmm the american-ness shows. Nice one. 1 Like |

MrsPhyno: exactly in the end of the day if you've noticed all oppressed groups throughout history in America eventually end up having their own organizations, univerisities, pageants and etc it's inevitable. yea your not the first to say that lol 1 Like |

anonymous6: Ok I get your point now. But of what use would the result of such race-exclusive org be to the majority and in fact the entire mainstream org canopy,my point being that,for example now,a black exclusive pageant will mean nothing to white rather it'd only mean something like "most beautiful african american" whereas the white predominant pageants encompasses of all races and what not. |

PreciousBro: Yea I see what you are saying, I think it is meant to mean something for african american girls/women to celebrate their beauty and individual selves amongst themselves and not towards white people. True the white dominate encompasses all races but those other races presence is not as significant but I understand you. America and its race complexities. |
