From 1921, when the contest began in Atlantic City, through World War II, only one woman representing a former Confederate state won the competition. Then, beginning in 1947, when a woman from Memphis earned the top honor, the fortunes of Southern contestants rose precipitously. From 1950 to 1963, seven southerners were crowned (each served the following year), including back-to-back wins by Mississippians in 1958 and 1959 — though southerners made up only one-fifth of the possible winners.
These were, of course, the years when black Southerners opened a full-scale campaign against Jim Crow, prompting a bitter backlash by white Southerners. White resistance began in earnest in 1954, when the Supreme Court issued Brown v. Board of Education, its decision to desegregate public schools.

The summation of an absurd article: “Still, we would do well to remember the troubling historical links between Southern beauty queens and racial politics, even when the winner lives in Brooklyn.”
The ugly side of the NYTimes reader: any.
ohhh...
“God bless you”
Even I’m offended and I’m a northerener.erererre.r.
One should remember that it was white Christian women who volunteered to transport black women to their jobs that desegregated the public bus systems.
This story by the HATE filled NYT is almost unbelievable.
What possible good can a race frothing, slobbering piece of filth like this do in a world already being driven to separation by a racist President.
This story is vomitous and the Blaine Roberts POS who wrote it should apologise for being born.
“Well we heard Mr. Roberts write about us......we heard ol’ Blain put us down.....hope Blain Roberts will remember......Southern man don’t need him around, anyhow....”
Hey, V.....draw straws to see which of us can be first to kick his sorry Yankee ass?
Hey Blain, kiss my southern grits.
Have at it Folks and Don't Hold Back!!
The title is what caught my eye, I was really shocked. And, I'm a So California native!!
Hey, Dumb Byaches at the NYT!
NEWS FLASH A@@HATS. Jim Crow was a DemoKaRATZ!
OH HELL, WHO EFFIN KNEW??!
The RATZ party didn’t EVEN like that n!!!ers got 40 acres and a mule. They were SOOO incensed that they started the KKK! To KILL republicans and recalcitrant blacks.
But hey, the thing they HATED THE MOST, WAS WHEN THE PUBBIES GAVE ALL THE BLACKS SHOTGUNS! OH SH!!T!
That’s when the RATZ began to BELIEVE IN GUN CONTROL.
Hey RATZ, think I’m lying?
You pig bastards are the party of treason.
I would cheat.
This guy has a mental problem ,anyone who is so filled with racial hate that he would write such a story is not playing with a full deck.
This is the type of reporter the NYT has on their staff. The sooner they go out of business the sooner this trash wil be on the unemployment line.
The ugly side of the old gray hag from NYC is on parade every day.
When a Southern woman smiles sweetly at you and says “Well Bless Your Heart” THAT’S when you you need to start worrying.
Hey, Reb,
What we have here is a fear and loathing of anything white.
Mostly, its about “white envy.” After all, whitey walked on the moon.
Most of the troubled clan still live in mud huts with banana leafed roofs.
Gotta hate whitey for his achievements. Its only natural.
And look at what all her politically correct pageant answers got her.
Will she wake up?
Hell no.
The author, Blain Roberts, is a terrible writer. She’s one of those liberal grads from Princeton with graduate from UNC Chapel Hill (very liberal), and probably guilt-ridden over her Southern heritage. Apparently she is at Cal State Fresno, another liberal bastion.
Bet she’s anti everything, rolls her eyes at anything quaintly Southern just to show how modern and progressive she is, and identifies with those-oh-so-smart-academic types who live in the false world of ivory towers. She would probably choke if she ever got a copy of “Southern Living” or “Garden and Gun.” And, I’ll bet dollars to donuts she was NEVER a sorority girl! :)

Oh, she will.
At some point, when her family is involved, she will come to the realization that she has been lied to, and filled with propaganda pablum.
At that point, things will change. They always do.
