How is this not racist?

[katsteve2012]

We only have ourselves to blame. When someone came up with a black beauty pageant, the answer should have been no unless we all agreed to have a white beauty pageant too, and maybe a brown one and red one as well. Of course that would be silly, divisive and wouldn't fly, but it would have shut down the idea that blacks need to have a contest just for themselves.

The Miss America pageant WAS for decades, by rule a "white only" pageant, as was established in 1930, and remained that way until the first Black contestant was allowed in 1971.

The FIRST Black MIss America was Vanessa Williams in 1984.

Since the pageant began in 1921, that means that 63 years passed before a Black contestant won, which proves the point that there was NO WAY for the majority of years that this contest has been in existence, would there have been an opportunity for equal participation by Black contestants.

So obviously, unless there was a "Black Pageant" to participate in, aspiring contestants who were not "White", had no other options of even having a chance to even compete, let alone wi.

There is nothing racist about this. There is nothing wrong with diversity. Take your right wing shit by your racist buddies and shove it. That should be the goal for any organization.

Stfu you racist trash.

This has to be one of the most racist threads I have ever seen. There is nothing wrong with having a diverse field of candidates to choose from. It is Trump and his vile right wing fascists who are tearing this country apart.

It’s racist to hire people on skill instead of race? You’re fucking retarded.

WRONG. Beauty contests were invented and run by whites for whites mainly because the market was all white, not due to any particular divisive racial reasons. You said it yourself, they opened the pageant to Blacks in 1971. So for HALF A CENTURY, 50 years, pageants have been openly multi-racial, no holds barred.

So why is there a racist Blacks-only beauty pageant now, that is openly anti-white when clearly, the market will support a winner of any race and a person of any color has opportunity to get in one?

This has to be the most racist condescending thing ever said by a politician.

Let me interpret this. White teachers who wear Mao T-shirts are exempt.
Is all good?

So Lessee-- -- this is a thread about a politician running on firing a bunch of good teachers from their jobs solely based on their skin color and BusyBoob here concludes that Donald Trump and anyone supporting him are fascists tearing the country apart?!

Probably not all good. The left wants segregation back, and they want it now.

Only because Americans are not real class conscious, so they substitute race for class in their Commie takedown of America.
It's unique to our culture, but the end result is the same: the erosion of the middle class.

No. I'm not wrong.

You obviously did not read the timeline in the link.

It was established in 1930, and STOOD until 1970 that contestants in the Miss America pageant HAD to be White, and the first Black winner was not until 1984.

So in 1970, when the rules were changed, the social attitudes of previous generations magically changed as well?

Are you actually stating that rule was put into place because the only "market" that promoted beauty standards was an all White market?


I think what you actually meant to state is that White beauty standards were the only acceptable beauty standards that existed.

I suppose that you also think that these other "non white" beauty pageants are discriminatory or "racist" as well?

The Dimm's are using the same template that Hugo Chavez used in Venezuela by substituting race for class in taking down Capitalism. Maduro is just an extension of Chavez like our recently installed Presidente is just an extension of Obama.
Now everyone understands why Trump interrupted their scheme of perpetual power and is such a danger! Even to the degree that parents who question their children's curriculums are labeled as
'Domestic Terrorists'!

How is this not racist?

There is a Miss Black Beauty Pageant, that's not racist?
What if there was a Miss White beauty Pageant? Would that not be racist?

Eilat, Israel? Why does man need to be all circumcised etc. in order to appreciate a woman's beauty?
Male standards of beauty exist of course, probably more to do with bodybuilding, skip the makeup — but how does a woman from India who travels to f***ing Israel — not even Jewish herself — have anything to represent for beauty or culture or whatnot? As if the Israelis have any skin left on their own bodies to host a f***ing beauty pageant.

One of the many behaviors shared by both ends (ends, not sides) of our political spectrum is purposely confusing "racial" with "racist".

The fact that something is racial in nature does not mean that the person is saying that a race is inferior. Which, of course, is the actual definition of racism. We all know this, right?

Boy, this really gets old. And destructive.
