Such a lame argument- the Miss Black America crap. Started because blacks didn't stand a chance at Miss America. That's shifting the focus. And you're admitting Miss America and Miss Alabama are for whites only. Thanks for making the point, cracker!

I don't think it is shifting the focus at all. Blacks have their own club/sorority/fraternity/pageant/NAACP/BET/whatever and nobody thinks anything of it. There is scholarship at Miss Alabama for the black contestants only. Is that fair? If I offered the same criteria and money for a white scholarship, would Miss Alabama accept the donation?
You either want to truly integrate or not. You really can't have it both ways.
I am personally sick of the race card tossed out every time a minority doesn't win. Don't like it? Then enter black events where you can feel good about a black person winning.

The point isn't "integration", it's equity. Those programs exist to support a marginalized population-black Americans. If everyone was truly treated equally, there would be no need for these programs. They exist solely to help even the playing field.
