Subject: Re: What's a sista to do? Author: No name [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ] Date Posted: 09:49:51 09/18/15 Fri In reply to: 's message, "What's a sista to do?" on 21:18:39 09/13/15 Sun I am black, African American, a woman of color or however else you want to put it and I am sick and tired of the race BS being brought up every time the black girl doesn't win or fair as well as you think she should. South Carolina didn't win because she didn't make the score. Stop spending your time moaning and groaning about things not being fair and get off your butt and put in the work. If you want to win then learn to be a winner. Stop relying on having a token black judge(which even if they score you all 10's doesn't mean you have any chance of winning if the others don't agree), stop hanging on the fact that Alabama has only had one black title holder, and remove yourself from the civil rights movie known as your life that you keep trying to live in. South Carolina had a week talent and a week answer. If you want to be a winner, think like a winner, answer your question like a winner, walk and wear your swimsuit like a winner, where your gown like a winner and interview like a winner. Instead of hanging on your skin color, learn something from each contestant that places above you and figure out what they brought to the table that was better than you. If it's her stage presence then get better at it, if her talent was stronger work on yours, if she's the interview queen then work on yours. Don't be afraid of constructive criticism either, if you have someone that is trying to give some solid advice for God sakes shut up and take it!!!! People that know pageants or are judges or have competed usually know what there talking about so don't be afraid to listen. Get a coach. It takes money to get results and sometimes you might have to invest a little to gain a lot!!! [ Next Thread | Previous Thread | Next Message | Previous Message ]

Sadly, I know of 2 instances where contestants were given top scores and others were lowballed due to the color of their skin..............I cannot begin to tell you what I think of a judge doing such a thing; they have no ethics and will be found out by everyone! Who can support a contestant who won in such a manner? People are not fooled!Sad, Sad! [ Post a Reply to This Message ]
