Black women currently hold Ms. Universe, America, USA, and Teen USA crowns


https://www.glamour.com/story/miss-universe-winner-black-women-pageants

I'm not a fan of female beauty pageants or the male body building competitions. At their cores, they are all pretty fucked up morally and ethically. I purposely find better things to do during these events(like a root canal), BUT...

It's about DAMN time! Way over-fuckiing due.

RW heads gotta be on fire! Even better!!!

Somebody in the WH press core should ask Trump for his opinion of Ms. Universe originating from one of his "shithole" countries.

African American women as being ready for sex all the time and using sex to manipulate men - Jezebel.

Such stereotypes are holdovers from days in which "owners" of enslaved persons raped any and all women and girls whenever they wanted. To avoid feeling guilty about "having sex" with a woman who was screaming and crying they blamed the women for "making them do it."

Like you, I am not a fan of beauty pageants. I'll be excited when: All nine members of the Supreme Court are African American women. Or, when the President, Vice President, Speaker of the House, and Leader of the Senate are all African American women.

If right-wing heads are on fire that's all good.
