One of the most beautiful aspect of the United States is the fact that it is a nation of immigrants and is extremely diverse. This is something that we all know therefore when diversity occurs it should be naturally.
I personally feel like the Miss USA 2017 show and competition had an extreme agenda this year that I am so here for and that was to highlight diversity. Now there is nothing wrong with doing that I just think diversity should be something that happens naturally. I should not know that you are bringing to light diversity. It should always naturally occur being that this is America.
The show opened with performers from the Michael Jackson show in Vegas that is currently being performed. I recognized the performers and dancers immediately being that I saw the show this past January. The song that was performed was Michael Jackson’s song BLACK AND WHITE. That song was hint number 1 and it caught my attention immediately.
The Top 10 consisted of 5 African Americans, 1 Native American, 1 Indian American, and 3 Caucasian women. After they left the stage one of the host made note that this was the most diverse Top 10 ever. I honestly felt like that comment was unnecessary. I am not surprised that half of the Top 10 was Black women being that in this country Black women have to work twice as hard to be half as good and this applies in every aspect of life.
Additionally the Top 3 consisted of an African America, Indian, and Caucasian.
Kudos MUO on the diversity just let it occur naturally next time. There is no need to try to sell us diversity
Congratulations to our new Miss USA Kara McCullough.
Remember To Always Be
Fierce and Fabulous
