We don&#8217;t care who was\/n&#8217;t your choice. You weren&#8217;t on the judging panel.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n2. Blacks (and Latinxs and Asians and Native Americans and evvverybody else) are <i>supposed<\/i>&nbsp;to be afforded the same opportunities as their white counterparts. So Deshauna Barber had every right to not only compete in, but win Miss USA (because hey, it&#8217;s 2016).<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n3. Miss Black America was founded to protest the lack of black women in the Miss America pageant. The point of Miss Black America is to include those who have been excluded. White people have always been included. Why is this even an issue?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n4. If you want to get petty, Miss Black America has to do with Miss America and not Miss USA; so again, why is this even an issue?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n5. Points 3 and 4 are irrelevant because nowhere does it say that a black woman can&#8217;t win the pageant.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n6. Did I mention it&#8217;s 2016?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n7. Why am I even spelling this out for you?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nWhat saddens me is that Barber&#8217;s win came with backlash and couldn&#8217;t just be a celebration.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nWhat saddens me is that Barber isn&#8217;t getting the proper respect as a woman who has served in the military.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nWhat saddens me is that this has happened many times before (like when Vanessa Williams became the first African-American to win Miss America in 1983 or when Nina Davuluri became the first Indian-American to win Miss America in 2013, to name a couple).<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nWhat saddens me is that people STILL think this way in 2016.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nWhat saddens me is that I&#8217;m not surprised by this hate at all.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nNEWS FLASH: White is NOT America. You cannot, with good reason, lose your s#%t JUST BECAUSE someone whose skin has been kissed by nature&#8217;s sun wins something. White is not the default. White is not America. It is a part of America, but it. is. not. America.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nAmerica \u2013 all of it: South, Central, North, and specifically the United States of \u2013 is not even a melting pot (where everything looks the same), but a SALAD of so bloody many distinctly different people of different races, ethnicities, religions, etc. Tomatoes don&#8217;t look nor taste like lettuce. Cucumbers don&#8217;t look nor taste like onions. Olives don&#8217;t look nor taste like feta cheese. But when you put them all together, you have a bomb greek salad.<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nThe same goes for the United States and the rest of the world. Different is good. Different is bloody amazing. It&#8217;s beautiful \u2013 in all of its shades. How dull life would be if everything was monochromatic and the same. How can we grow if we don&#8217;t recognize, celebrate, and learn from each other&#8217;s differences?<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"separator\" style=\"clear: both; text-align: left;\">\nTo Deshauna Barber, a beautiful American, thank you for your service and for being a representation of part of your country.
