While we wait, I agree that we should keep our history alive anyway possible! I agree that to tell Black people to wait, is frustrating, however, for many of us, that is all we can do instead of giving up hope altogether. I can see that you are frustrated with your 'sky fairy' non-belief, however, @ProfD, unfortunately, history shows us that putting your trust in mankind, whether Black or non-Black is useless and, thinking that you can bring about change by yourself is also not going to work. I hope that you won't continue to be so frustrated with those of us who fight and wait for a higher power to intervene.

This is news to me. In theory that would be a good endeavor, but when it comes to the history of this kind of endeavor, I do not believe it will work at all. Yes, I am a go-getter and look for this kind of opportunity, but so far, historically, the only way that Black people have been motivated to bring a wide scale change for better was if there was violence. I am definitely optimistic that change for the better will happen though. On a small scale, I believe that everyone who has a positive outlook should try to organize some type of social group or do something though. Education is key. And so is communication and this is what I like about this community. Exchanging and sharing thoughts and ideas continually. Something positive always happens imo. Yes. certainly!

@ProfD I have to disagree although in theory, I would agree a little. One of the reasons why I disagree would be because I believe that there have been Black businesses and some have done well but, no matter, in this powerful government, I just do not believe that Black businesses would become all that powerful to make a great change against Black oppression. But then, let me ask you if you know of any Black businesses that have done well. Some of the businesses that you listed as examples are very big and powerful such as google and Sam's Club and also sports franchises, and again, I don't believe that a Black business started along those lines would be able to compete in any kind of market to get great support, financially or otherwise. But can you give some kind of breakdown example how you think that could even happen? And as far as believing in a Supreme Being, if Black people cannot get out of oppression right now, then that would be the only way to not give up. Keeping hope alive in a higher being even while someone even attempts to start a business would be key to survival. We should study wealth building as you stated but at the same time, we should accept reality too, in how this American government operates and have historically maintain their power on many levels when some people of color did start businesses and became successful. This system has been really good at petitioning to certain successful Black people and buying them out completely and taking over their businesses. This, imo, has happened a lot. I remember a Black owned restaurant named Pan pans and in how it was bought out! Black people and so many other kinds of people would go there to eat and enjoy the photos on the walls of Black celebrities that did also go there. But the city wanted that land to gentrify the area and forced him to move his restaurant to the mall. Soon, a Chinese company bought that restaurant in the mall. The manager did not have enough relatives, I think to expand and so, he retired. Now the restaurant completely changed. Also, I remember a clothes line called FUBU, For Us By Us and it became really successful, but soon, I think it was bought out too! Black Americans in America have tried to start businesses but I wonder if Black people recognize how this American government works when it comes to Black Americans who try to start a big business, not a small family business, but a big one. Let's take the late Nippy Hussle, for example, what did he do wrong? He became a millionaire with his business. He pushed that we should eliminate the middle man. He also make business connections with certain people outside of America. He was definitely expanding. And let's take the Rap industry for another example. It seems to me that some of them in the very beginning got big because they got help from non-Black wealthy people, so if they did not do it that way, then what other options did they have? What kind of Black people here in America would be a positive contact that would NOT have some kind of strings attached to a Black person who wanted to started a mega-business? IDK... sounds like a pipe dream...

Black Immigrant Contestants in the Miss America Pageant 2025 Black Immigrant Contestants in the Miss America Pageant 2025 On the subject of immigration, I thought it was interesting that a few of the Black contestants of this years Miss America pageant were immigrants. In my opinion, it seems to me that this was the ultimate goal, anyway of America from its origin. This government formed in a land that was well inhabited and from the beginning, they intended on setting up an immigrant government after violently killing off many innocent peoples. This government justified killing off millions of American Indians for various reasons that today those reasons are accepted as being a human right today. And because they had a problem and could not enslave the residue of the Original American Indians that survived the genocidal movements against them, therefore, they began stealing millions of little African children and shipping them over here to be enslaved for life. For this reason today, this American government has decided that they need to erase this aspect of their history and therefore have decided to cover it up by redefining American Descendants of Slaves [i.e. DOS]as being 'immigrants'. Therefore the many Black immigrants today would be welcomed because this would be a great help in America's movement to erase their violent history of slavery and in how America formed and to be redefined as a peaceful immigrant government. Nevertheless, Bible prophecy has captured this ploy. The prophet Zechariah comes to mind on this very subject. He defines this immigrant government in a most incredible detail. At any rate, here are some pictures of the Black immigrant contestants of this years Miss America's pageant starting with Miss Washington defined as a First Generation Eritrean American! Crazy! There was a contestant originally from Haiti and then there was the runner up, Miss Texas and she was originally from Ghana. I believe that these pageants are not just a scholarship contest that includes beauty but I believe they are used for political reasons. Hermona Girmay Miss Texas is originally from Ghana. She was the runner up! Miss North Carolina Cary Everett; not sure of her country of origin Here is the complete picture of all of the contestants. Miss Alabama won the pageant. Miss Texas was the runner up.

I agree. It makes no sense. Absolutely true! Maybe, but this government is helping because they have taken a lot of it out of the books in public schools. It seems the history starts with the CRM. But yeah, what do we do about that? This seems true and very depressing but I can understand why it would be so. America imo has reached out to certain Black people in other countries to come over here to offset the DOSers and use this ploy to erase what they did to us. Oh! This reminds me of what I've just seen on the recent pageant. I agree and cannot fault or blame those people for leaving their home countries either, but I do believe this is problematic for us too.

Interesting!

Happy Holidays!

Ha! Keep going! Jesus said that when you see the Abomination that Makes Desolation set up in the holy place, then you will know that the Tribulation period is near. But Hey, the Europeans are not the only ones guilty of this White idol worship. God is not intimidated by White Supremacy at all because he did nothing about it for 400 years when the Israelites did the same thing. It seems to me that many Black people want to blame White Supremacy on all White people and hide their own desires that are the same. Colorism is the same as being a White Supremacist. So if people don't believe in the historical Jesus, I don't believe that he will be offended. If you don't believe then, you won't have to worry about being able to be part of a New Jerusalem if the Bible is right in a global world destruction and a new civilization forming. That prophecy has nothing to do with mankind and war initially. It's simple, if you believe and there will be such an occurrence then you get to live in this new world, but if you don't believe in this asexual birth of a man called Jesus, you simply won't get in. It's simple. If this world does experience something catastrophic, then well, ... maybe, but then maybe not. The Israelites worshiped Baal and Ashteroth in Israel off and on for the entire time that they had their government and then one day, they were completely overthrown. Then a couple of decades later, the Jews were also overthrown completely, by the Chaldeans because of their obsession with the Assyrians [i.e. White Syrians]. The Chaldeans spared some of the Hebrews like Ezekiel, Jeremiah, and Daniel, etc. because they were still Original Hebrews, but they went crazy on those watered down Hebrews and completely demolished their temple and cities. The Chaldeans were Bel Worshipers, not Baal worshipers. The Chaldeans had recently been enslaved by the Assyrians and they completely overthrew them and demolished their temples, palances, etc. with the help of the Medes. And so, the Chaldean leader of this force, Dark Cloud [i.e. Nebuchad-rezzar] eventually became tired of trying to make peace with the Jews and overthrew them violently. Then about 500 years later, Jesus was born and he had nothing to do with the Gentiles. He only picked fights with the Jews on their issues with Colorism, all over again. So the fact that Europeans stole Black children and reset up their new age Baal in the image of the Anti-Christ, White Jesus, has deceived many. Even though Jesus came and had nothing to do with the Gentiles, somehow, we have come to believe that the historical Jesus did not exist due to the idol of a White Jesus movement that began in Europe in the AD 1300s and was infiltrated throughout the world. For this reason, like many American Indians, many of us believe in either one 'Great White Father' in 'the White House' or another. Here's what Daniel had to say about the god Jupiter being replaced: [1] Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to confirm and to strengthen him. [2] And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia. ... [31] And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. ... [38] But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things. [39] Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god, ... DANIEL 11:1, 2, 31, 38, 39. So then the historical and Biblical Jesus who was scripted to be born on April 17 during the annual Feast of Tabernacles and Crucified on October 16 during the annual Feast of Passover leap year observance but has been replaced by a new age version of Jesus in idol form who was born on December 25th and was crucified at some point in April and reveals two separate ideologies. Because the Romans dominated over the Jews at that time and changed the Passover time from fall time [Summer's end] to be observed in April about 2000 years ago written in the BOOK of ACTS, therefore do we today respect that law as did the ancient Jews as well. So on those same lines, even though we as Christians respect the law of our government and should be grateful to have the opportunity to observe the birth of Jesus into this world observed during the Christmas season in December, the Church is lacking because they should still teach the truth but for the most part do not at all. The only place today that the truth about the historical Jesus being born on April 17, for the most part, will be in scientific planetariums across the world due to the Star of Bethlehem, a scientific phenomenon that marked the historical birth date and aligns it precisely with other historical records. As in all times, the month of April was the Feast of Tabernacles on the leap year. The Feast of Tabernacles also called the Feast of Booths is why Jesus was born in a booth and laid in a manger because it was an annual spring festival instituted by Moses at the time of the Exodus. But, when the 'Daily Sacrifice was taken away' meaning the destruction of the Jewish temple occurred and the Jews were driven out of Jerusalem, and the abomination that maketh desolate was set up, meaning the temple of Jupiter erected at that time, occurred, then came the later prophecy of the set up of Second Rome. A long time before that, this and scripture applied to the worship of Ashtoreth. She was an idol, a supreme idol, that aligns with Baal worship, that was defined as 'an abomination that makes the lands and many peoples infiltrated and deceived and then violently attacked, driven out and the land made desolate of its original peoples. Ashtoreth is the Canaanite or Phoenician supreme goddess that at time and would be revealed to be the head of the Baal priesthood and Jezebel was aligned with this worship in Israel. It's a hidden form of matriarchal worship. Ashteroth is the Queen Bee. And so in the Book of Matthew Chapter 24, Jesus spoke about another time when the abomination that makes desolate would be set up in the holy place and this aligns with Daniel's prophecy of the worship of a god that their fathers never knew... Jupiter would soon be replaced after the fall of the First Roman empire by a strange god the Romans never knew. And the rise of Second Rome would be based on this new supreme Baal type idol that became a movement in the age of Exploration and the Renaissance Period that began, once again in Italy. This new image of White Jesus was taken from Italy and became a movement throughout Europe and then Africa and beyond and erected all throughout the world. Comparable to Baal and Ashteroth Worship; the Catholic inclusion of the worship of Mary: A simple Italian Virgin and Child by Carlo Crivelli, c. 1470

Historically, most Blacks can accept that the Roman Empire dominated this region of Jerusalem and the structures are still there today so that millions of people travel there and confirm that Herod the Great did live and rule at this time. Blacks can accept that the Romans did war against the Jews, around AD 70 and demolished the temple and temple worship just as the prophets wrote long before this occurred. However, many Blacks in America have a hard time believing that if Herod lived then so did the Original Jews of which he ruled over. As far as Jesus, the Messiah, that Daniel prophesied would come during the First Roman Empire and then the Second Roman Empire, well, does it really matter what we believe? Prophecy says that after Second Rome, Jesus would come and set up his government and judge the earth for a thousand years and during this time, there would be an Armeggidon. The prophet Ezekiel prophesied that a Third Temple would be constructed after a great catastrophe occurs and the government of God would be on the shoulders of Jesus. This has not happened yet. But for those who believe that there was a virgin birth, whereby a woman went through an asexual fertilization and gave birth to a malefactor, and he lived and will set up a new kingdom and religion, and if it does happen, it would be all good for those who want a better existence. I say, keep hope alive. When Jesus came, he had nothing to do with the Romans, Gentiles, because they were Separatist. So, for Blacks to reject a story of a king who came and had nothing to do with the Gentiles, and later, the very Gentiles made up an idol of Jesus in the image of a Gentile, is hilarious. The very Gentiles that had nothing to do with Jesus, later blames the Jews for his execution, but yet, it was their government that oversaw the execution. The very Gentiles soon becomes Christians and put Blacks in slavery and develops a false religion based on an idol of a Gentile Jesus, a White Jesus, then set sail for to set up a new Rome and then later Separates Church and State and once again, become Separatist again, but yet Blacks can't see the deception is insane. Even though Moses also prophesied about two Romes and the First and Second Coming of a great prophet and he based Second Rome on a slave ship trade that would one day include captives that were also Hebrews forced out of an Egyptian port and onto slave ships, but yet, many Black American DOS reject these prophecies, is amazing to me.

I believe that is the plan, to do it more and more so that we will view it as being commonplace. But, nevertheless, every time this happens, it is horrific. No one, no matter what color or race we are, should view this as being the norm.

WHEW! Thank you! I needed these words. This has caused me to lose some sleep.

I've been gone a minute. Still Busy but hoping to get back and read some threads. But, I just saw this and wanted to share it. This man violently raped a 3 Year Old little Black girl and was just recently sentenced to prison. The case was supposedly widely publicized but I did not hear about it until now: The Pedophile Murderer Robert Fisher Found Dead in Prison Robert Fisher, a 34 Year Old Pedophile and child killer found dead in prison Little Josefina Catherine Cunningham was only 3 years old. Josefina Catherine Cunningham So, her mother Laquesha Stewart met her boyfriend, Robert Fisher, only a week before he violently raped and killed her little baby Josie. Laquesha's neighbor was Robert Fisher' sister and that is how Laquesha met him. At some point last July 2023, Laquesha left little Josie with Fisher and went to Walmart to pick up her prescription medicine. After she came home, Laquesha took her medicine and went to bed. Later, Laquesha woke up and realized that Fisher was not in the bed with her and saw him lying naked on the couch looking at his phone. So she covered him up with a towel. She found out later that he had already killed her baby by that time and was deleting photos on his phone. So then, after Laquesha went to bed, Fisher went into the bedroom of the baby and violently raped her until she died. Then he tried to erase the crime by scrubbing little Josie's face and body with bleach. When Laquesha woke up in the morning, she saw the baby covered in blood and unresponsive and so she called the police. When the police arrived, they saw that little Josie was lying on her back and she was foaming at the mouth. The prosecutors said that the autopsy revealed that the child was alive during the violent rape and Robert Fisher did confirm this. There was also bruises on her hips and inner thighs. Robert Fisher was sentenced to 20 years to life with the possibility of parole. However, he was just recently found dead in prison. Although there is now, quite a few reports of this depressing crime, here are a few that seem to cover the story well: “The defendant took the medication prescribed to Laquesha, crushed it up, and put it in a cup for Josie to drink. He drugged her, went into her bedroom and raped her,” said Edwards. “He did all of this while she was alive and awake; we only know that now because of the autopsy results."… "Seeing the pictures of Josie's face after what the defendant did to her was mortifying,” Edwards added. “Those images will be ingrained into the minds forever for those who saw them." https://i0.wp.com/afro.com/wp-content/uploads/2024/09/Josefina-CatherineCunningham.jpg?resize=800%2C800&ssl=1

Are you serious? He was acquitted?

This is very informative. I read this more than once. History is very important to me. Also, history is frustrating because I don't believe that our educational system provided a good outline for everyone to really know the vital aspects of it, especially when it comes to American history. Your breakdown on certain topics here and correlating it to South African history is really good. The infighting you describes reminds me of what happened to the American Indians as well. I believe that many ethnic people do not think like the Europeans who formed this American government and the ones who formed certain leagues in Europe too. I believe that the formation of Western civilizations was not just based on present cultures but the mindset goes all the way back in time and on a much larger scale. And so the infighting that you described is because those kind of tribal people and kingdoms was due to how they think on a much smaller scale. Yes, so here it is: How in the world can Black people not see the bigger picture here!? There is no way that the small group of wealthy Whites could live in South Africa successfully without having major support from a much larger government that was working outside of South Africa. And even though this was not obvious when the American were fighting against the British, it was still happening. You gave a great breakdown on how the French sided with the usa against the British, but there was a lot of other unseen acts also going on at the same time. The French supported the Americas but prior to that, they sided with the Indians too. And then there was the huge Spanish forces that also had a hand in how the American government eventually formed under a Federal government. I am still in the learning phase about all of this. But recently, I read that the president of Mexico was trying to organize a federal system in the 1800s but the Americans were still fighting against each other and did not, for the most part, want a federal government due to issues with the divisions about chattel slavery. I just recently leaned that a lot of Southern Slavers migrated from the east into Texas to fight against the formation of a federal government so that they could keep their slaves. WOW!

Oh WOW. You're right! You've refreshed my memory. But, I think too, that the formation under a federal system was bound to happen anyway. Back then, I don't think that they were going to win if it did remain in the hands of a few confederates.

Shining the Spotlight on Black Women--Amazing Makeovers! In My Opinion, these women are already beautiful. But when the genius completes his magic, it's like POW! The Makeovers are insane!!!

Sounds like an expensive endeavor.

Yes, probably. Wow! She's already talking about running again!? Well, she did a good job, even though she did not win.

Amazing! Oh yes. These idols are still in many Black Churches! And if you raise any opposition, you will be rebuked! Been there, done that. But here's one insane reality; Now that Europeans have went all throughout the world with this idol, some of them discreetly preach against it... Discreetly! We've been brainwashed to think it is okay, when in fact this is the ultimate form of blasphemy; It's identity theft to the highest degree. But the good thing is that you can't fool all of the people all of the time. One of my favorite films highlighted this issue, First Sunday, Produced by Ice Cube and starring Katt Williams. And of course, many Africans still idolize this too. It's crazy.

This all very interesting. I can't imagine why though. Why wouldn't the federal government not want to oversee education on a federal level? And for what purpose would Trump want to even quiet it?

This is kind of funny at first, but yes, I can see this to be a reality! And when it comes to African women, they are affected by White dominance probably just as much as we are because the Europeans flooded the continent before they even set up the Transatlantic slave trade and spread their form of White Jesus all across the huge continent. I remember seeing this movie, Shaka Zulu, starring the late Henry Cele and that was clearly brought out in that film in how the Europeans brought White Jesus into their cultures and pitched that to them. It showed how the African people related to the Europeans and how the African men gave their women over to the European men too. For this reason, there is a great difference, no matter how negative White Americans can be, it does not remove from the minds of African people that we, African Americans are severely affected by slavery. And thanks to Obama and his homosexual movement, we are now considered in general as a cesspool of immorality to Africans. They think we are Sodom and Gomorrah. African women are not accustomed to the kind of 'hit and run' relationships that we are thought to engage in over hear. They are not holy people as a whole either, but African women, I think, deal with a lot of H3ll when it comes to having to deal with other wives their men bring into their lives, but they are not accustomed to 'hit and run' with no financial support of child support. Even if African men are dealing with poverty, they are not completely 'absent fathers' or hit and run lovers either. So, those African women probably would never feel safe in a relationship with Black American men for that reason. I heard a foreign women from the Middle East about this very topic and she was horrified in what she heard about Black single mothers be left without no support from the baby Daddy. That completely scares Muslim women from other countries. As for African men, that is their custom, from what I believe. It is an expectation that they have in that they can have multiple women. So, they probably heard the same thing that the African women have heard about commitment. They probably entertain the thought that we over hear are exploited and left abandoned and so, it wouldn't be a deterrent for African men to desire Black American females. This is How Nigerian Men View Nigerian Women!

So today, there is more news on the volcano in Iceland that is now erupting. As I mentioned previously, this volcano began erupting last year, December 2023. And yes, due to this thread, i will also mention that there was a comet that was nearby our earth at this time! A year prior to the Ring-of-fire eclipse that occurred on October 14, 2023, it was already projected that a comet already detected in a year earlier would come close to earth at the same time of the solar eclipse; the periodic comet Pons-Brooks. And it did, right on schedule. Therefore this comet remained nearby earth all during this fall season as well. And then six (6) months later, it was located nearby the other major Total Solar Eclipse on April 8, 2024. This Pons-Brooks comet came the closest to earth though, on June 2, 2024 and dropped below the horizon. But again, there are so many other record setting phenomena occurring recently. But some news breaks, I believe is not really critical but normal weather patterns. For example, one news report, WION, broadcasted a major event occurring right now in California and although this is truly is a catastrophe, however, they also added to this news by reporting as if there was another record setting event. One of their coverage of the California event also stated that the northeast experienced a really bad snow storm. Now, if you did not live in this region, you might think that this is a rare event. However, it is normal for snowstorms to happen in the northeast at this time of the year! Also, I called a relative who lives near Boston and was told that it is not even snowing there! It's only about 40 degrees and no snow at all. And then there is the report of some Doomsday fish that have shown up on the beach in California. While this is alarming, however, it is not enough to believe that the world is going to end tomorrow, IMO. But, there are some major happenings recently though, that is obvious and really are signs of end times, IMO. The Key word about the many volcanoes that have erupted recently would be that they were 'unexpected' eruptions. This long video also reports in its caption that "Snow Hits Northeast US

Oh yes! I honestly believe that pageants are political. That doesn't mean though, that the winners did not earn that crown, but, I believe that politics play a part in who gets to be in the top ten or at least the semi finals. But once the top five are chosen then, it becomes clear that the questions that the contestants have to answer shows their intellect and preparedness on how to adequately respond to important global topics. Well, I believe that this would be the very reason why this kind of platform is important though, for the oppressors to acknowledge the true virtue of Black women, especially because of the atrocities that have occurred. And yes, the backlash of how Black men are negatively regarded in the process of this kind of reparation that comes from White men is unfortunate. Nevertheless, the horrors that Black females endured during chattel slavery law must be addressed if there is to be any kind of healing. And this kind of respect, I believe, should also come from Black men too, IMO, because Black women have endured significant rejection too, coming from Black men as well, don't you think? Yes, I understand and appreciate your stance because I believe it is important. And I believe that we must face this kind of challenge because eventually, this will not be an issue, IMO. Especially when I think about countries like Nigeria. It seems to me that the Nigerian males in that country are so supportive of their own women kind. It's so amazing. They sing songs about the beauty of Black women. And, I think too, that this kind of slave-time obsession with the slave master will soon become a thing of the past for cultures who practice gender respect and appreciation among themselves. But, I also believe that this kind of healing will happened, not based on younger females, but the Ole girls. How a country treats the queens will be vital in how males value the women in their culture. And again, I see this happening in Nigeria too. Nigerian men don't just admire their young women, but I see a significant presence of the aunties being acknowledged as well. That is the essence of a type of matriarchal system and goes hand-in-hand with a patriarchy. Anyway, that is what I believe. ROFL! On point! No way! Are you serious? I would think that African people have heard a lot of negative statements about us over hear in how we have been negatively affected due to slavery. For this reason, they would probably be inclined to think that we are not the top of their list for relationships.

That's interesting news. So former president Carter started the Department of Education. Wow! But now, guess what I heard? I heard that Trump wants to take the power away from the Federal government and allow the States to do what they want to do with the educational system. Okay, I understand now.

Miss Nigeria Universe Controversy Goes Global Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina, Miss Nigeria Universe Miss Nigeria Universe Pageant winner, Chidimma Adetshina has become a global sensation for more reasons that one. First of all, she went on to compete in the Miss Universe Pageant in New Mexico City and for the first time in history, she won First Runner up! However, there happens to be so much controversy that, not only surrounds ChiChi (Chidimma) but the pageant itself. So here's a brief outline of the story: Chichi initially entered the Miss South Africa pageant to compete for the crown, however, due to being trolled and relentlessly pursued by the officials, she became so stressed that in August 2024, she resigned from the pageant. Apparently, she became investigated and it was alleged that she was guilty of identity theft, however, the actual person that was the actual suspect was Chichi's mother. Although Chichi was born in South Africa and grew up there, the officials came to believe that her mother was not South African but had Mozambique roots. So then, after Chichi resigned, the Nigerian pageant officials found out about it and invited her to compete in Nigeria because her father was a Nigerian of the Igbo tribe. She did. And well, she won! Out of twenty-five amazing contestants, Chichi won the crown! She became Miss Nigeria Universe and then later became the First Runner up to the Miss Universe Pageant. But soon after, Chichi actually ended her bout with pageantry due to the stress that she endured. However due to the controversy that occurred with the South Africa pageant, this story has went global. Many Africans believe that Chichi was forced out of the Miss South Africa pageant because the officials wanted to crown another contestant with European ancestry. And so, Mia Le Roux, won the crown for South Africa: Mia Le Roux, Miss South Africa 2024 However, due to an undisclosed health reason, she resigned and did not compete in Mexico City. But not only was this story headlines, this pageant had other controversy as well. The winner of Miss Universe, Miss Denmark, the beautiful Victoria Kjaer Theilvig became the first ever Miss Universe from Denmark. However, after she won the crown, a viral backlash happened due to comments that came from Donald Trump Jr.: Trump Jr. reacted on X (formerly Twitter) by framing Theilvig's win as a rejection of recent inclusivity efforts: "Biological & objectively attractive women are allowed to win beauty pageants again. WE ARE SO BACK." https://www.newsweek.com/donald-trump-jr-hails-objectively-attractive-woman-winning-miss-universe-1987852 Now, why did he have to say that!? At any rate, his comments caused more contention in America: Victoria Kjaer Theilveg, Miss Universe 2024 Many people believe that he was aiming at more than one target but especially in reference to the comment of the President elect, Donald Trump's comments against Transgender people. And this connects to even more conflicts within that Miss Universe Pageant. It just so happens that Donald Trump, who once owned the Miss Universe Pageant, sold it to a transgender wealthy entrepreneur from Thai named Anne Jakkapong Jakrajutatip who introduced inclusion and more dramatic changes to the pageant. For this reason, in 2018, a transgender contestant won the title of Miss Spain and competed in the Miss Universe pageant. Following were two more transgender contestants as well, but this year, it was reported that there was none. Also, the age limit was raised and so, Miss Malta, a Black contestant was the oldest to compete at the age of forty (40). And then another big change was that women who became mothers could also compete. And so, Miss Nigeria, Chidimma Vanessa Adetshina, a twenty-three (23) year old at the time of the pageant in fact, had a son. She was also previously married but divorced in February of 2024. So, there were a lot of changes to the Miss Universe pageant which has caused much controversy. Chichi also won the title of Miss Africa & Oceania and another surprise was that Miss Philippines, Chelsea Manalo, made history as a beautiful Black contestant who represented the Philippines. Her national costume was a huge hit as she highlighted the indigenous peoples of the Philippines: Chelsea Manalo, Miss Philippines But although Chidimma Adetshina made history in the Miss Universe Pageant, however, back in 2001, there was another winner from Nigeria. Agbani Derago won Miss World: Agbani Darego, Miss World 2001
