    Jeez, do you know how offensive you sound? Halfrican indeed. Besides, I've known a few light-skinned, light eyed blacks in my life who have two (or sometimes just one) light skinned, light eyed parents and come from a whole family of light skinned, light eyed blacks, but I wouldn't expect someone like you to know anything about people like that being that you are an ass.

    But heck, she could be more directly mixed, but all black americans are mixed you half wit.

  • Curious title

    Or, is she a Hillary woman? Perhaps she remains an Edwards admirer? Or could she be a steadfast supporter of Kucinich? Or even a stubborn backer of Senator Biden?

    Why this particular title, Ms. Mieskowaski? Is she a known lip-syncer?

  • I didn't invent that phrase

    Jon Stewart did.

  • Nice title

    Just assuming she's pro-Obama because she's young and a person of color, right? Sweet Jeezus...

    Also, what was the point of this article? There was a new Miss USA winner, she's a Democrat from Texas, she's a woman of color, there's been some controversy in the pageant in recent years, blah blah blah. Am I missing something newsworthy here? Or is it just more of the meaningless silliness that all too often passes for important news or serious social developments on Broadsheet?

  • I was going to say how good Salon is at NOT censoring comments, but....

    They took down my one from earlier (or else I just can't see it for some reason.)

    There was no racial tone to it.

    I said how she looked like, let's see if I can phrase this to get past the censors, a Transgenderedly Abled American, and so she MUST be an Obama supporter. I think I even used the correct term the first time anyways, no derogatory terms.

    Obviously free speech for just some on Salon.

  • snidey

    femenutty title. wacky tacky ticky too, hilly willy we luv U.

  • Poltics aside

    My friend and I were on the phone giggling as they announced the 15 finalists...honestly, how could you tell ANY of them apart? I mean, 2 had darker skin, 1 had an unusually long neck, and another will need a hip replacement soon judging by her gait, yet I still couldn't tell the difference. Wouldn't it be wonderful to see a siamese twin appendage affixed to the torso of one contestant, or at least a giant scar?

    No worries, since my desire to see different body types, hairstyles, and actual smiles as opposed to perma-grins was remedied by a night out later on. :)

  • See the proof is in the pudding

    My initial post was scratched. You ladies need to pay attention to that. You can say whatever misogynist crap you like, even on Salon, even on BS on Salon but woe to he who dares utters the slightest thing 'racial'.

    Women really ARE second class citizens in America. I hope you're ok with that especially all you Obama Groupies.
