The winner of this year's Miss Teen USA has admitted her mistake after being slammed for a series of racially offensive posts sent from her Twitter account
Karlie Hay, 18, of Tomball, Texas, was given the crown Saturday at a lavish ceremony in Las Vegas. But shortly after the pageant ended, a Twitter user posted a screenshot of tweets that included the N-word, that Hay had sent to some of her friends in January 2014 and July 2013.
Soon, many had taken to Twitter to express their concern that somebody who had posted racially offensive sentiments had just been billed as the ultimate role model for young woman across America. Director Xavier Burgin, who was one of the first to share the screenshot, tweeted: 'You can win Miss Teen USA, you can handle the extra (justified scrutiny) for your racist behavior' and later posted: 'And @MissTeenUSA needs to address this and revoke Karlie Hay's win, or set the precedent racists are welcome to their event.' He later wrote: 'Here are a few excuses that we will hear: That was three years ago, ppl change!, so you can say N***er but we can't?, She's a child!' Kamie Crawford, a former Miss Teen USA, quickly called her out, writing: 'If u win any pageant - first things first. Clean up ur page. Cus if ur under 21 u shouldn't b drinking & if ur WHITE the n word ain't yo word!'
While Sam White wrote: 'No excuse for using a word whose only impact coming from white ppl is harm. And @MissTeenUSA is a role model?' Director Xavier Burgin tweeted: 'You can win Miss Teen USA, you can handle the extra (justified scrutiny) for your racist behavior'

They own this one. The use it to show they have no self respect or respect for each other as a group, wallowing in their masochistic behaviors all the while crying “Don’t beat me...”
Has some other beauty queen killed twenty people? Or just managed to not use racial slurs.
Beauty Queens make their life in the shallowest of “Image is EVERYTHING” empires. When Image is all you have it better be spotless.
If I wasn’t happily married I would offer her sanctuary.
Then they better stop calling others “white boy” and “white girl” in the complete racist way they use it.
No more cracka either.

Boy body.
When I was in junior college one of our students was Miss Teen USA. I forget which year but that was in 66 and 67. She drove a Mercury Convertible which was one of her prizes.
I can’t even remember her name but she was married to a pilot at Eglin. I never had a class with her and she did not participate in campus activities as far as I know. I think she just took whatever courses she thought she might need to pursue a degree.
She really was pretty.
Interesting little foo foo feathers on that dress.
Her mother let’s her go out like that?
I think only one of them is a natural blonde.
She looks repentant enough. Not guilty.
From Huma?
I’m thinking...American Ninja.
Are you 16 & a girl? I really hope so otherwise you know way too much!!!!!!
I love this thread. Think I’ll read it again.
It don`t mean anything when Hillary screws up on the internet but it does when any one else does it, Huh?
NOT GUILTY.
BLACKS are definatly just as racist as whites and always have been in my time anyway and maybe they have some reason.
When i was a kid they called me white boy and i called them niger, which up to that time meant worker, it was just a not friendly or not unfriendly jest, there was no anamosity.
But are the blacks complaining or is it just white pukes making some one problems as usual?
