I think people missed the point! The reason pageants just for Black women are held is because discrimination for not looking white enough in regular pageants is a real problem. Picking a woman who looks white is a slap in the face to many young Black women who live with Every Day discrimination and unfavorable stereotypes about Black women. The young lady who won can choose, she can choose if she wants to identify as Black and she will not be undergoing the same hatred that many Black women are inundated with. So it's not that she is undeserving of the win, but her win defeats the Point. We are just not there yet as a country!

[@TheRazorTongue]

Why should anyone like her continue to support these events knowing if they participate that they're not supposed to win? All Black people in America for the most part are Mixed. But people aren't mistreating us because we're mixed. It's because of our Black ancestry. You can't look and tell how mixed a person is. There are siblings with the same parents that look like night and day. What she is experiencing interracism/colorism. Due to phenotype we will all experience bigotry to varying degrees and in different ways but it doesn't mean we lose the capacity to care about one another. If a mixed person sees another Black person being mistreated should they ignore it because it's a "Black/Dark skinned" problem. Do you want allies or indifference in this struggle?

Light skin? Finer hair or lighter etes? Automatically respected and cherished, automatic rise to to top of the chain. Period. No effort. We rarely if ever hear white people fighting this hard to include "mixed" people, and they know it. For many, its only better to be black when it suits them.

The point of a black pagent is to celebrate black features. She has none of those features. She is not black. She is biracial. I'm sure she is nice and she certainly is beautiful, but she is not black. Black is all the things that make our lives harder. It what makes us "other" in society. Its the features that we have to reclaim and assert in society as beautiful. She has no part in this. She doesn't understand this. She can pass as other races. My blackness cannot be disguised or hidden or blended away. I'm upset that she would even try to say that she is black. She has the privilege of whiteness on every feature of her body. She needs to stay in her lane and we as blacks need to stop telling biracial people that they are black. You don't get to stand in the place of struggle when it suits you. And again, I am sure she is a wonderful young woman, but she will never walk the same road as me.

This was never to benefit black people, it was conceived to limit the rights of non-white people. If you are going to question the validity of a term simply because it is fairly new to you, I'm going to have to ask you whether or not the average black person stills calls themselves "colored" or "negroes". Clearly, they do not. Those terms are outdated. My point is: things change-- more importantly, they evolve. And you can either evolve with the times or remain a relic of the past. I choose the former.

[@Feliciatanktop]

CluelessGmer maybe she had kids with someone that she really liked and not based on the color of their skin?? That stuff never made sense to me, just date who you want, race is irrelevant. Not being with someone because of the color of their skin sounds stupid

[@rahra2483]

Black is a race, this wasn't an ancestry contest. If you have to ask or guess..it ain't hittin'

[@LSPtheFrecklefaceArtist11]

I hate when this happened. I get the same treatment since I was a child. My mom don’t think this exist about skin color in the black Community. She don’t believe light skin women get treated poorly by dark skin women.

First off ------ Why is there a black Uof Texas beauty pageant

[@MrScogmo]

No shit! That's like saying, "She's beautiful...for a black girl."

[@numbernine8571]

@Kathryn: OK, whatever makes you happy, none of my biz. But when we someday truly transcend racism it won't be necessary. I'm just grateful, every day, that black people invented jazz and blues. :-)

[@TheProtronic]

Katryn Dorsey This tells everyone that those girls aren't good enough. This is running the fuck away. When this pageant started there was a need for it because of the racial segregation, but why do you feel the need to do some long dead bigots' dirty work for them? If we're nowhere near post-racial, why are you willing to go backwards? How does it feel to tell the likes of Martin Luther King, Malcom X, or your ancestors that knew true discrimination, that they died for nothing? that they should have gone fucked themselves because the current Black American generation has totally stagnated and chose to happily give their ground away like some bitches?

[@DoubleEdged7]

Kathryn Dorsey what's the point of the contest if anyone can use the one drop rule or if they have a black parent who is actually only part black which is why she is more white than black

[@ImadeIyamu]

There's nothing like black enough. She's simply not black. It's ridiculous she was even in the contest smh.

[@melicombs7001]

Imade I fear for the future of my children when there are people like you policing shit like this. My kids are to my husband, a very dark skinned black man, I’m half Jamaican and half Chinese living in England. My son is dark skinned black, my daughter is light skinned with Asian features. So my kids, to the same parents, one is black and one is not to you? Idiot.

How could a black women struggle more than a biracial woman? A biracial woman would struggle more. She literally has family who oppress her. Black women have family who support and uplift them.

if your parents aren't both black and your mix you're not a black woman. I don't have no dog in this race so I don't care who won. but if you look at the fraternity Kappa they all light skinned for the most part damn near White so why wouldn't a pick a candidate that look just like them.

[@musajagana438]

Sorry to break it to you but a lot of African Americans aren't actually fully African, which is why African Americans tend to have a lighter complexion than Africans.

[@heidis7685]

If she had 2 black parents, and people were saying "she isn't black enough" just because she has lighter skin, than they feel she should, then that would be bullshit. Color is not the same as Race. But that's not the case. She has only 1 black parent. So, she is only 50% black. Mathematically, that isn't "black enough" for a "Black" contest. She simply doesn't qualify. Now whether or not race or color should be a qualification, is a separate issue.

[@chs75]

But she doesn't claim black does she? She claims biracial, and then enters black pageants, and wonders why people have issues with her winning. And I believe her father is bi-racial himself.

[@heidis7685]

Why was the comment below "removed as spam, and only visible to me"? john smith her dad is mixed too, she wonders why people think shes hispanic and not black, its because most hispanic are in fact mixed, while most black americans look more like africans.

[@alt4374]

Heidi S and her father is probably aa so he's probably only like seventy percent black and thats why she looks so white. I wouldn't be surprised if genetically she was only like 30% black and that's why people think she's Hispanic as Hispanic people tend to have mostly European and a lil African admixture

[@ImadeIyamu]

Her father himself isn't black. He's biracial. She's like 80% white and entering black women pageants smh.

[@TheTricky411]

While doing your calculations did you notice how fabricated race is. Race isn’t real. Imagine she isn’t s black women in society but she is a black women genetically....

[@slycat2355]

There are so many "black" people in the US with white in them too that there are some black people with 2 black parents whose skin is lighter than some with one black and one white parent. If this young lady has identified more closely with her black side, she had every right to enter and win that pageant.

[@lolhaha5237]

I knew a girl in hs that was biracial half black half white beautiful girl, nice etc in hs there were african american kids that kept being mean to her and it led to her developing a strong self hatred of her black side and a cognitive dissonance of it and she'd only claim white, that girl became sick inside becos of them treating her awfully.

its all on youtube do a search and it's the same thing on repeat you see how this internet crew stormed this now look at the same for me and you will hear this crickets

the ones who bullied her did they look closer to her or much different?

[@jamaica1765]

is she white enough?

[@ImadeIyamu]

No. White people would never claim her to be white even though she looks exactly like them. But they sure love to force us to claim her as black.

[@ellissabetta5909]

I honestly can see both sides. on one side, I feel for her and her exclusion from the black community. On the other side, I know the prejudice dark-skinned black women face and how she will most likely never fact them. I feel like there are few places dark skin is glorified and she just took one. The conflict of blacks.....

Two of my kids are mixed ( Black/White/Choctaw-Indian) and they have know problems telling people they're Biracial.. However society does view them as black because their physical features are more so that of a black person.

They're pretty much a new race. You can tell the difference between a biracial person and a light skin black person like myself. I come from 2 black parents. My mom is light and comes from 2 DARK skin BLACK parents. My dad is a dark black man. This is why biracials are confused. The one drop rule is and was stupid. I hope I don't sound like a racist but Biracials aren't black. They're a new race. But if we keep on mixing, biracials will be the new black.

Olu Apampa what do you mean? No DNA tells us that she isn't 'black.' Just because someone identifies as black it doesn't make them black. Why can't she claim being white?

[@oluapampa5075]

Chame leon Because her skin tone isn't white. Africans have dark and light skin tones.

It’s not a “not blk enough” thing… It’s the fact that she’s not fully blk and they should identify with both because that’s just what they are…. Biracial is not fully black… simple as that

I’m black

[@margaretgaby2356]

I'm biracial. Looking at all the contestants - they are all pretty "light skinned". She was still the most White looking in features and hair texture however. But her skin tone wasn't that far off from most of the others. (This fact confuses most viewers because they see all the women as just black and not mixed race. There should be mixed race education. Many people don't even know mixed race exists!). There are only 2 dark skinned women competing. I rather see all dark skinned women competing with natural hair, dreadlocks etc.

[@zerxzios4296]

I thought that she permed or straighted her hair so she has naturally straight hair
