The North Carolina lawyer completed the historic triple Thursday with pageant winners 2019 Miss America Nia Franklin and recently crowned 2019 Miss Teen USA Kaliegh Garris.
“The three young women who have focused their energy on demonstrating how standards of black beauty speak for American standards of beauty are to be commended,” said Thomas DeFrantz, a professor in the Department of African and African American Studies at Duke University.

And yet we’re all racists... I bet it was more likely they won to show the judges weren't racist.

Can’t help but see this as a grand ‘make up’ scheme and tokenism, with scorn and insult intended for those who institutionalize this crap, not the individual contestants.

The beauty pageant business has become ESPN.

When do we see Latinas winning these crowns? Or Native Americans?
Lots of competition out there among the non-whites.

The standards of black beauty? The horse?
And all 3 women won all 3 competitions?
Journalism!
And I also recall that these competitions were offensive when Trump was campaigning.

"Black" as well as other diversifying for the sake of diversifying "happenings" are "beautiful" virtue signaling inanities amongst pop-culture, business, and politics.
Welcome to a "progressive" and authoritarian planet hell.
