So, because. Vanessa Williams is black, you think Miss South Carolina should have gone further? There were seven judges... I will agree that I thought she would rank higher, but her talent was a little "pitchy". I would call what you're saying reverse discrimination. None of us have any idea what went on in the interview room. What happened to Miss Iowa, a double prelim winner. Did Vanessa keep ker from moving on?

I guess the only way to have a fair contest would be to announce that a black girl will be crowned, regardless of scores and merit. So what about all the other non-black girls that don't win? How are they treated? Or does it matter to you? [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
