THE MISS CALIFORNIA DEBACLE

There’s been a lot of fuss lately about Miss California Carrie Prejean and her botched answer to Perez Hilton’s question during the Miss USA pageant a couple weeks ago. This was her answer:

PEREZ: Vermont recently became the fourth state to legalize same-sex marriage. Do you think every state should follow suit? Why or why not?

CARRIE: I think it's great that Americans are able to choose one or the other. We live in a land that you can choose same-sex marriage or opposite marriage and, you know what, in my country and my family I think that I believe that a marriage should be between a man and a woman. No offense to anyone out there but that's how I was raised and that's how I think it should be between a man and a woman.

I personally think this deserves a "HO-SIT-DOWN" as well as her crown stripped away, and here's why:

1. She's abandoned her original platform cause of special needs children and now feels the need to actively campaign against gay marriage, becoming spokesperson for the National Organization for Marriage. In her contract , those holding positions in the Miss **** position must not become spokespersons for unapproved causes, nor are they supposed to have unapproved speaking arrangements, as Miss ShitForBrains has been doing all month on Faux (FOX) News and other places.

2. She lied to pageant officials. The contract asks if they ever took nude or semi nude photos; she answered NO. Penalties for discovery of such photos include crown revocation.

Faux News and Prejean’s supporters are saying a smear campaign has been run against her simply because she spoke her mind honestly. The term “Smear campaign” implies lies being told, yet nothing I’ve read about her has been untrue. She has taken it upon herself to speak out publicly about her opinions and now she's in the limelight and must deal with the backlash that comes with being a public figure. She is 100% entitled to her own opinions & beliefs, free to hate gays, blacks, anyone she wants to. But in a beauty pageant, you need to be diplomatic with your answers. She shouldn’t be punished for her personal opinion, but deserves to be punished for breaking rules of the pageant and the manner in which she is poorly representing the state of California.

However I do find it hypocritical that she received breast implants paid for by the Miss California Organization, yet they want this girl-next-door image. Only in California does the girl next door have silicone tigg ole bittys. However the stipulations in the contract she signed are the rules of the Miss California Organization. While misguided, those are rules she chose to play by; since she broke them, she should have to deal with the consequences.

As a pageant contestant, there are many ways to answer controversial questions like that diplomatically. She could have easily said "I think it's great that we live in a country where we have the right to choose and vote on the subject of gay marriage. That is an issue that should be decided upon by the voters, and not just one person." I always see contestants give "pageant answers" and go on to win a competition and her bumbling, inarticulate answer was delivered terribly, regardless of her opinion.

Hot - Topic questions should definitely be included because representing the country- even as a beauty contestant, people (mostly young girls with pageant aspirations) look up to you. You never know, in this world of super-connectivity via technology, today's public figures have to deal with hot-topics all the time. You want to know that they won't crack under pressure as Prejean did.

For S & G’s

Perez Hilton calling her a dumb bitch after the pageant. Lots of shade being thrown lol

I AM NOT A DUDE!

It has just come to my attention that the gender on my profile said male....I rectified that mistake and would just like to clarify I was born and remain a girl lol....although I have the soul of a drag queen at times....

THANK THE LORD

Sometimes people may not understand why there are so many Obama songs, memorabilia, etc, ie the FRENZY that is going on right now...ESPECIALLY among black people. Ihave heard people say, "why do black people act like he's only your President? He's everyones President?" Well I'm sorry, for the next lets sayyy....WEEK...... DAMMIT, MY PRESIDENT IS BLACK, MY DODGE IS CHAMPAGNE, AND IM POPPIN BOTTLES FOR BARACK’S CAMPAIGN.


I can’t tell you why every black person is so excited, but let me tell you why I’m SUPER SYCED....and why there is NOTHING you can say to take my joy, and if you try you are a hater who will be shut down, no matter what your color, race, or creed.


In a country where I am the descendant of people who were enslaved, the enslavers, and a people who’s land was stolen away from them by the founders of said country, this is only the second time I am Proud of my country. the first was on November 4, 2008 at 11pm, when California was awarded to Barack, making him the President-Elect. Being proud to be an American and being proud of your country are NOT the same thing. I am proud and thankful to live here, proud of all my heritage, but so often, I am not proud of my country’s actions and some of its people. As a student of history, when I thnk about how far this country has come in terms of its founding principles “Life liberty and the the pursiuit of happiness”, “Liberty & Justice for all”, and “ all men are created equal”...when I see Barack on tv with a Presidential seal behind him, it truly brings tears to my eyes every single time...

In a country where Presidents and the government and the majority of its citizens SANCTIONED, several times, the genocide of the indigenous people. Sanctioned forcing them from their lands and making them walk many miles to reservations in the Trail of Tears, in the hopes they wouldn’t live to make the full trip. Made false treaties and lied to tribes, came under false pretenses as missionaries, when they really saw native Americans as part of the problem and would not blink at the thought of eradicating their existence if they did not convert and comply with the wishes of the “superior race”. A country where someone who looked like Barack Obama was considered, chattel, property and 3/5 of a person by the US Government. Considered sub-human for many years according to widely upheld “scientific research”. A country where the government, state and federal stood by so many times and did NOTHING as men, women and children, tax paying citzens were treated like second class citizens for over 100 years, simply because of the color of thir skin. A country where the federal government sanctioned COINTELPRO to promote lies, and falsehoods in order to discredit the righteous causes of the Civil Rights Movement. A country where citizens killed leaders who wantded nothing but equal rights for all, AMERICAN CITIZENS killed Lincoln, Kennedy, Evers, King, X (Little), and another Kennendy. A country where the President elect would have no choice but to be considered either a bastard child or a product of an illegal marriage because his parents were not the same color....And now I’m in a country where AMERICAN CITIZENS, the majority of them, voted for a man who wouldve been 3/5 of a person 150 years ago, and I am finally proud.

I’m honest enough to say that I did not think he could do it, because America would not let it happen. You have someone smart, capable and qualified, and especially in comparison to the dunce of the last 8 years, the BEST man for the job. But he did not look like all the other men who sat in that Oval office. I honestly thought he would not have lived to win the Presidency, or lived to take the oath. And most certainly he probably would not have made it, if this was 40 years ago. But in Barack’s own lifetime, things have changed so much that he has reached a goal at age 48 that would have put a DEFINITE bounty on his head as late as age 10.

This is not just about written history, its about personal history too. As a person who has been called a nigger by someone white, and have experienced malice from another person simply because of my race in my short lifetime; it means something to me to have a President who looks like me, a First Lady who has relaxer in her hair like me, and looks like me, who attended predominantly white universities like me and I feel comfortable with her representing women like me in America..... 2 little girls running around the White House who look like me and my little sister as children. I can only imagine what it means to my parents, my Grandma, aunts & uncles who have unique experiences in life, but who share a common joy in the coming days. I cannot imagine what this means to those who are still alive and marched with Dr. king and were a part of SNCC, SCLC, the Panthers and all the other groups that fought, lived and died so that this day could maybe happen in their lifetimes.

On this day, (which Ronald Reagan and John McCain were one of those many who opposed celebrating the achievements of Dr. King as a federal holiday); it is the last day we live in a period of history. The last day when anyone can say there never was, never can be, never will be a black President.

This is something like the Civil Rights Movement; the day of Brown vs. Board of Education. Things changed in one day, facts changed, but not everything changed, I’m not that naive to believe that. I know that racism and prejudice is not dead in this country. In the days after Brown v. Board of Ed, there was still segregation in schools and in society, leaders were still assassinated, riots still ensued; the world did not change.....but many things did change that day and in the days and years to come. On January 21 at noon, the President will be black. On January 22, the Senate will still be 99% white (thanks to Blagejovic and Burris for keepin hope alive lol), a person that was racist or ignorant on January 19 will remain unchanged on January 22. Our country will still be in a recession......but in the days and years ahead things will change and I believe the President will have success in changing things for the better. and I make no apologies for being happy simply for the fact that he looks like me, after 233 years of not feeling like the President was one of “us”.


So for all of these reasons, and more, I am extra happy for the next couple of weeks, and A LOT of it has to do with the fact that my President is black; so for that, I MAKE NO APOLOGIES. And I really don’t care if anyone, black, white, green, or yellow is NOT happy about it, cuz I am. And for ANYONE who wants to comment on this in a negative way, I really dont care what you have to say and if you can’t understand my joy, that’s okay, because its not meant for you to understand, cuz its MY joy.


OBAMA, BITCHES!
