Have you ever heard of Miss Black America?

What do you think of a beauty contest only for Black Women in the USA that has existed since the 1968?

I've heard of Miss Black America but I have no idea of what she actually does.

Not to take this thread in another direction but............

Since we're on the subject of Black women and beauty pageants, the issue of colorism should be addressed.
We need to make sure the Black women who engage in and especially those who win these contests should actually be BLACK.
 

Too often you have non-Black and mixed people who "back door" their way into these events and end up being hoisted over and on top of the actual Black participants.
This is nothing but a product of self-hatred.
Looking at a woman who is obviously not Black or looks like she's almost White...and calling HER "the most beautiful" woman in the community.

One of my biggest problems with Beyonce wasn't Beyonce herself...but how she was often glorified as a symbol of "Black" female beauty.
Whenever the subject of comparing female celebrities by race, Whites and Latinos would promote the women they thought were the most beautiful but when it came to Black people.....a lot of bruthaz would promote women like Beyonce or Halle Berry back in the day.
Women who obviously weren't Black.

A lot of pro-FBA podcasters are promoting lightskinned women as "ideal" models for who an FBA is or what an FBA looks like.

They're pushing Beyonce and Angel Reese.
