Why do we have a miss black usa pagent but not a miss white usa pagent?

Question

This seems racist to me

Answer 1

Reverse racism is allowed in the USA because if you question it, then you are a racist. Makes sense doesn't it?

God Bless.

Answer 2

The Miss Black USA Pageant was founded in 1986 to develop leadership among African American women.

FYI
The Miss USA pageant up until 1985 (when Laura Martinez won) was predominantly all white - not that there wasn’t any attractive and talented women of other ethnicity. It wasn’t until 1990 that an Afro-American (Carole Gist) won the title. Since then, the Miss USA has changed (check the history to see the list of Black or Bi-racial winners that have been crowned to represent the face of USA). Miss USA 2007 is even Bi-racial, as well as Miss Black USA.
Now do I, an Afro-American, think that there’s a need for a Miss Black USA anymore? Hey, as long as there’s equality – NOPE.

Ohh, “Black Colleges” aren’t just for black student anymore. Walk through a few and tell me what you see.

Know the facts first

Answer 3

Everybody wants to say its racist, its funny 40 years ago we couldnt vote, now we have a black beauty pagent and its reverse racism. NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO I think we are making up for lost time. When it was fine when blacks were treated like 4th class citizens now we have gotten in a position where we can have more movement to do things for ourselves, nobody mentioned 40 years ago when it was all white contestants,that was cool. People grow the fuc* up and get a clue.

Answer 4

The same reason that we can have "black" colleges and not "white" ones. Yeah, the roles have reversed and it is very racist! I guess it's our "punishment" for somehow being related to slave owners back in the day who even if we were related, I'd never know! My family were poor farmers who used their kids as workers or "slaves"!!!

Answer 5

Because, historically, Miss USA/America were closed to black contestants at one time.

Answer 6

For the same reason you can have a black college but not a white college and scholarships for any ethnic background except Caucasian, because it is not seen as discrimination when it is done to white people.

Answer 7

Well..Why?...Why black anything?..Double standard and nobody with balls to address it.
Racism is just another word for " I can do whatever I want, and if anyone says anything I don't like..well it's racism"
Pathetic sense of entitlement.

Answer 8

Jessie will not allow a white racist like you to ask such a question. Now sit down.

Answer 9

Those pageants are boring anyway. IMO the women wear waaaay too much clothing in those pageants.

Answer 10

It's the liberal idea of equality.

By continuing to push for the seperation of races by admiting there are differences they perpetuate the idea and use it to their advantage. At election time they can pit race against race; and class against class to their benefit.
