Kalyn Chapman James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title, posted a tearful video on her Facebook page Sunday that says she doesn't want to "feel this way" but she finds it hard to be sad for the Dallas police officers and "can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr."
She later clarified her thoughts and expressed her condolences to the families of the slain officers in a statement to AL.com.
James, who was Miss Alabama in 1993 and attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and is now a TV host living in Miami. She is a native of Mobile.
She posted the more than two-minute Facebook Live video on her Facebook page Sunday afternoon. She was in a car and stated she had just left church.
"I don't want to feel this way" James states in the video. "I don't feel sad for the officers who lost their lives ... I know that's not really my heart. I value human life. And I want to feel sad for them but I can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr," she says in the video.
Obama’s just waiting for the first white person to respond in kind.
What goes around, comes around Missie.
She is special kinda of stupid

What a disgrace. Take her crown away and her scholarship.
Joan of Arc was a Martyr....this guy in Texas was something a lot less than a Martyr. On the Martyr scale of one to ten....this guy was a minus-ten.
She’s an unadmitted Jihadi.
In other words, she got a panicked call from her agent in which the agent called her a complete idiot and asked her if she wanted to lose her crown and never get an endorsement deal, record contract or movie deal again.
It was from 1993.
Her “reign” was over two decades ago.
Just a small town TV host looking to remain relevant.
I didn’t know Reverend Wright had a branch church in Mobile.
No change in my thinking on this subject since my target status became obvious on October 3, 1995.
She was Miss Alabama 1993.After 23 years the best she could do is local tv personality.
Mentally ill
Needs therapy
Time to start calling it what it is
Mass psychosis
**I know that’s not really my heart.**
That is exactly your heart.
Cold. A dark place.
[It was from 1993]
Sorry about that.
The scholarship apparently didn’t do her any good.
Because you were raised and educated in a way that didn’t teach you emotional maturity... Like most Americans in the last 40 years.
She won’t be asked to resign. But when a normal person expressed doubts about BLM, all hell broke loose.
I would bet good money you are exactly right.
I actually almost feel sorry for her. Almost. I mean, it is a terrible thing when you realize she just added credence to the stereotype of "the dumb beauty pageant contestant." While it is kind of sad to see that negative stereotype reinforced, she did do it in a spectacularly stupid way. I guess if you're going to go stupid, go big.
