"Miss USA, Miss America, Miss Teen USA, Miss Universe, and Miss World are..."

all black women.

sorry for the fox news swipe...

https://fox6now.com/2019/12/14/miss-usa-miss-america-miss-teen-usa-miss-universe-and-miss-world-are-all-black-women/

JAMAICA — For the first time, top beauty pageants — Miss USA, Miss Teen USA, Miss America, Miss Universe and now, Miss World — have crowned black women as their winners at the same time.

And that’s a big deal if you know pageant history.

Beauty pageants early in their histories, some dating back to the 1920s, barred women of color from participating. Even after organizations began changing their rules to accept women of all races, there was still a lingering frustration and opposition to join.

Only in the last 50 years have black women become more prevalent in these competitions. Janelle Commissiong was the first black Miss Universe in 1977, Vanessa Williams was the first black Miss America in 1983, and Carole Anne-Marie Gist, the first black Miss USA contestant, was crowned in 1990. The following year Janel Bishop became the first black Miss Teen USA.

When Toni-Ann Singh of Jamaica was crowned as Miss World on Saturday, she joined a historic group of black women, along with 2019 Miss USA Cheslie Kryst, 2019 Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris, 2019 Miss America Nia Franklin and 2019 Miss Universe Zozibini Tunzi.

and we've always been in but, now it's being displayed at this superficial level.

that being said, hope there isn't a trendy shift from the absolute opposite, to now wanting black women again.

TBH the fact that you're even a mod here fits squarely within Jag's narrative of OK-sanctioned aggression, bullying, and toxicity. *shrug*

Folk on social media are posting about that shit as if black women won full on reparations or something. To think that in 2019, folk still see beauty pageants defining black excellence and success for black women is very disheartening.
