I don’t see a problem with it at all. I welcome the idea. Every other nationality has one so why not us? Its not segregation its embracing our own.

In addition, I don’t know why people consider it segregation. Do you see other nationalities worrying about being separated from whites? Why should we?

There is still lack of racial equality in America and just having a Black president doesn’t mean that things have changed.

I don’t think its a bad idea, but I don’t believe its absolutely necessary. We (should) have the same opportunities to compete in teh Miss American pagent. I don’t know if the rules are different… But i agree with 4JESUS_, it would be an excellent opportunity to show the positive sides of black life… yes, IT CANNOT be ghetto, otherwise there is no need, but it shouldn’t be completely whitewashed either. I should feel like i’m watching the ms black america pagent and not just another pagent with a bunch of black people in it.

I THINK IT WOULD BE COOL BECAUSE THE PAGEANTS NOW ARE 99% WHITE. SOO WHY NOT? BESIDES BLACK WOMEN NEED TO REALIZE THAT THERE ARE MORE UPSTANDING THINGS TO DO IN THIS LIFE THAT WILL STILL GET THEM NOTICED. BUT PLEASE DON’T LET IT BE GHETTO. EVEN THE BLACK RUNWAY SHOW ON BET IS GHETTO…NOT LIKE THE REAL ONES IN FRANCE. LET ME COORDINATE THE PAGEANT!

Why are we always so quick to segregate ourselves? There is not OUR people!! It’s time we think outside of the racial box this time.

Like the old saying goes “Nobody will ever take care and care for your people the way you can”. Just in case people have forgotten..America is in a crisis. White folks are only nice and considerate when the “pie” is big enough and there are crumbs to spare to black folks. Now there are only crumbs left and white folks have lost their jobs,homes,ability to have their kids in top schools etc.
As a result..they want to take Affirmitive Action totally away and the State of California have almost emptied out all the blacks in their Colleges and Universities. During these times, we must take care of our own and nurture our Black customs and traditions. Wal Mart is the sponsor because we probably can’t find a black Corporation who can afford to sponsor the event. Hell..we even sold BET away. But now is the time that we as a black national community pull together and promote education,youth positive advancement, and honor our traditions and push to support what few HBCU’s that’s left because trust me..during these hard times..we can’t depend on others. Bring back the pageant and we should glorify and celebrate the achievements of our beautiful black queens who have been soo damn under-appreciated over the last few decades..Hell..bring Soul Train/Good Times/and the Cosby show back with new characters while you at it..:)
