[QUOTE="Fighting4yourRights, post: 275330, member: 10388"] J. Morris Anderson first created and produced the Miss Black America Pageant on [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/August_17"]August 17[/URL], [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1968"]1968[/URL], it was a local [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philadelphia%2C_Pennsylvania"]Philadelphia[/URL] area pageant to protest the lack of black women in the Miss America pageant. Some may forget, but not too long ago, Black men and women were considered ugly. They were not represented in all aspects of our society. During Jim Crowe and segregation, Black American's created their own systems of entertainment and pride. Many of these organizations are an outgrowth of having lived and survived a civilization of exclusion and racism. Just imagine if Blacks enslaved us Whites for hundreds of years. And then they yelled and screamed at all our White pride and Affirmative Action plans trying to overturn some of the unjust wrongdoings of institutionalized racism. Doesn't knowing our countries history make it a little easier to understand why we have some of the systems we have in place today? [/QUOTE]
