I know who wins lol

I don't know why everyone is going on about her being the first 'black' Miss America - she looks at least (probably more) half White - in Africa she would never be considered black, only in America...
-
Some of you younguns on here have no idea what a big deal this was. After all of those years of the Miss America pagent she was the first Black to win. There was never a sense of pride that went through this country...and of course you had hateful idiots, but the majority was very happy and proud.

@fakeboby86 Agreed

Vanessa Williams is so beautiful. What is the big debate about her being mixed? I have some of her same features, and my mother is black, and my father is black. No one in America is only one race. That's why I don't understand racism. Everyone is all mixed up.

It's amazing how people are so obsessed with black people and the various hues. I don't think this day in age anyone is 100 percent anything. But people must realize that you cannot always go by color. Just because a black person is light-skinned doesn't make them biracial or even mixed. Tiger Woods is pretty brown to me but he's biracial. Vanessa Williams is light but both of her parents are black. Yes, she has a mixed background but genes will travel generations. Being black is more than color

WOOOOOOOOO! Vannessa Williams was and is so Beautiful WOOOOO i loved her on ugly betty but it hadn't been cancelled she would have never joined the desperate housewives as Renee Perry

This had to be the most lopsided Miss America pageant ever. Vanessa was so much more beautiful and talented than any of the other contestants, it was not even funny. It would be like putting the Green Bay Packers in the Big Ten Conference.

beautiful girl and to the idiots making comments about her looks and race get a life. we all come in different shapes and colors.
