Really? You give a shit about what some washed up "beauty queen" thinks? Twenty three years ago, when she was crowned Miss Alabama, what she thought was just as irrelevant as it is today.
Actually, for someone famous enough that her opinions make national news --- to say something like she did is shockingly incendiary. The murderer was a martyr? Wow.
When you are famous and say something like that it makes the news and carries far more of an impact than if you or I made such a statement and helps to embolden those who want to be filled with anger or vengeance. Tell me she is on the side of healing and recovery.
Tell me that 99% of our police force should now be vilified and not trusted or thanked for putting their lives on the line every day and protecting those who hate them? And a president who has shown on many occasions how he sides with the victim, never even caring what the facts or details are before making his galvanizing statements, is not much better than this woman.
Famous?
Until this story was published by someone looking for something or someone to vilify, you would have been hard pressed to find one hundred random people who could have told you the name of Miss Alabama 1993. You would have been hard pressed to fifty who would recognize her picture.
What she said was stupid and callous, but don't ******* pretend it carries any more weight than a three year old declaring she is a unicorn.
This is nothing more than people looking for someone, anyone, especially a person of color, to be pissed at. It's an opportunity for racists and bigots to yell, "See? Black people suck!"
