I haven’t paid attention to Miss America pageants since that first black M.A. who had an ugly “spread” in Penthouse Magazine. The pageant was such a nice thing until it was ruined forever by her and her racist sponsors. Oh, and she was ugly with clothes on too.
Hmm...Miss Black America began in 1968 as a protest against the lack of black contestants in the Miss America pageant.
Only thirteen years later in 1981, America had its first black Miss America.
Despite the old joke about Miss Black America being canceled “because no one wants to be Miss I Da Ho”, that pageant is still going strong.
I don’t watch those contests. Plenty of good looking college chicks near where I live, live & in living color.
