You can be black and not considered black, look at Clarence Thomas.

In reply to black

An Oreo? That is what Rev Jessie Jackson called Obama.

In reply to ProWI

So by that logic Obama is not black enough either.

One of her schoolmates says she wears extensions.

Don't understand why that is necessary.

In reply to Star

White people wear extensions bro

In reply to djdrastic

Isn't the pageant itself discriminatory?

Didn't think it would be allowed in this day and age.

FFS, too many whites passing themselves off as black people specially when it suits them.

In reply to Star

WHy not?

In reply to djdrastic

Was it an outcry or a couple of idiots on social media? Social media have a way of making things bigger than they are.

HHhhmmmm! Gonna have to establish a skin tone policy and find a way to measure it.

In reply to Drapsey

It is not only discriminatory but gives the perception that black girls cannot compete with other races.

Sick/Sad.

Well next year they should rename the contest " Miss Colored University of Texas
' to include more people, the Black race have always been accepting of other races and mixed people.

In reply to black

It is the comment I am referring to.

In reply to dayne

So mixed race persons like myself are not real blacks? We have to be accepted by so called real blacks?
