A New Kind of Beauty Queen

Well ,looky here.

I am not a beauty pageant kind of person.

You can dress them up and scream “SCHOLARSHIP Pageant” all you want, but until the day a mousy, flat-chested physicist with glasses, an overbite, and a Mensa IQ  wins (or a black woman with really dark skin, natural hair, and a body shape that does not adhere to the Caucasian Supermodel beauty mold)…………………sorry, it’s still just a beauty pageant with scholarships tacked on, and I don’t find them to be of any particular use.

The last time South Carolina became famous for one of its pageant contestants, it was when this happened:

And, like, such as, Carrie Upton became an internet sensation who wound up on that US American show Tosh.0 looking for like, such as, a web redemption in South Africa and the Iraq.

Such as.

Anyhoo………. my Conservative Christian GOP-TeaParty-loving state is about to make some history again.

Meet Analouisa Valencia.

Bi racial lesbian beauty queen

She is the reigning Miss Lyman, South Carolina, and in July she will compete for the Miss South Carolina crown.

What’s so special about that, you ask?

Well, aside from being bi-racial (her mother is black, her father is Mexican), she is also a very out-of the-closet lesbian.

IN SOUTH CAROLINA.

A state that still  has sodomy laws in the books, banned same-sex marriage, and allows for discrimination against LBGT people in housing and employment, and also offers no hate-crime protections.

Ms. Valencia, a student at Spartanburg Community College who plans to pursue a business degree at the University of South Carolina, came out in the ninth grade and took her girlfriend Tamara to her Senior Prom.

Do you know what kind of balls that takes in a fucked up Tea Bagger state like South Carolina?

Holy shit.

BALLS, man.

Valencia says she is quite prepared to answer whatever questions judges might throw at her with poise and grace, and she hopes to use the platform, if she wins, to champion rights for special needs people ( she is a Special Olympics Gymnastics coach) as well as for minorities and the LBGT community.

I wish her all the luck in the world, and if they broadcast it, I will tune in.

Win or lose, she is blazing a trail I hope others will follow, if pageants are their thing.

Pictures of the Day

So sorry for the huge lapse in posting…….Spring Break kicked my butt, and I have been in a bit of a funk of late. There is light at the end of the tunnel, though, and I have a pretty good rant almost in the can for tomorrow…..be prepared to get your Accidental Racist on.

Until then, I leave you with these:

Toddlers with guns

Background checks

SENSIBLE gun laws, people.

Nobody is rounding p your guns and burning them in the town square.

Dumbasses.

How Can You NOT Understand Civil Rights?

Sigh.

Of course we re not a monolith with a hive mind, but still, I find myself deeply ashamed of and embarrassed by the black faces that populate the anti-gay crowd in this video.
How do they not GET it yet?

 

How can you be black in America and NOT get this???

wrong side

interracial equality

patriotic equality

Because It’s True……..

………… I cannot post this video enough.

 

 

Brett Zorse is Why We Can’t Have Nice Things

Note from the Negress:

My blog looks a little different today because I’m showing support for my friends and strangers who are still fighting for the right to marry and be treated equally by the federal government. It’s a small thing that is purely symbolic in the internet world, which is why I do as much as I can to lobby for change in the tangible world as I possibly can, but if  a picture is worth a thousand words, I hope that anyone stumbling across my little corner of the internet and in need of assurance will know that here, you have an ally and a place to be accepted.

And now, back to giving douchebags the business.

Brett Zorse, Stealth Massage Molestation enthusiast

“It’s not like I molested you. It’s not like I stuck my finger in your pussy or grabbed your tits. I wouldn’t mind a massage right now.”

~Brett Zorse, touchy-feely Jet Blue Passenger and hopefully soon to-be convicted Sex Offender

That’s what Zorse, 50, said to the 32 year-old woman seated next to him on a flight from  San Francisco to New York, who awoke from a nap to find Zorse’s hand underneath her skirt, massaging her thigh.

Zorse, who was seated between the victim and his twelve year-old son, had made several sexual remarks to the female passenger earlier in the cross-country flight, going so far as to say “I’d really like to climb all over you” when she offered to get his bag from the overhead bin so he would not “have to climb over her to get his belongings”.

After being groped, the woman told investigators she left her seat in tears and returned just before landing at JFK. Though she did not initially tell authorities or airline workers about the April incident, the woman later e-mailed JetBlue and contacted New York police.

When questioned by investigators, Zorse claimed that he believed the female passenger was “flirting with him, telling him he was attractive and he was a good father,” adding that he felt he had “bonded” with her. While copping to placing his hand on the woman’s leg for “approximately 30 seconds,” Zorse denied placing his hand up her skirt. He did acknowledge, however, that he “could have said something like ‘It’s not like I stuck my finger up your pussy or grabbed your tits,’” according to the probable cause statement.

Zorse has been charged with simple assault and faces up to six months in jail if convicted of the misdemeanor.

Hey, who DOESN’T want to wake up on a cross-country flight to find some old dude with his hand up their skirt?

RELAX, honey…..it’s NOT like he finger-diddled you and put it on YouTube, I mean only teenaged CREEPS do that. This sophisticated man of the world just wanted to relax you with an under-the-skirt massage, in front of his twelve year-old son, because that’s what considerate men of the world do for total strangers on a plane while they are sleeping.

Damn, girl, chillax.

And next time, don’t wear a skirt and imply consent with that whole “I have a vagina!” thing you’ve got going on…..how are reasonable men supposed to know not to attempt to finger-bang you on a plane if you keep running around in public with tits and a vagina??  TONE THAT SHIT DOWN!!!!!!!

How’s a guy to know not to attempt to massage your nether regions if you don’t get on the plane wrapped from head to toe in cellophane with “Caution – “Massages” and Other Gropings Not Appreciated During This Or Any Other Flight” stamped all over it???

Next time you fly (or go ANYWHERE in public), you must take the appropriate  body-wrapping  precautions, and as an extra safety precaution, rig yourself with speakers and play this on a continuous loop:

Make yourself CLEAR, ladies……………. otherwise, your tits and vaginas are fair game, on planes or anywhere else.

Video of the Year……..Part Two

Okay, so it’s a tie.

 

PASS IT ON.

What Don’t They F%#king Understand???

“I’m not gay. So I’m not going to marry one.”

~ 69 year-old heterosexually married Georgia Senator Saxby Chambliss, “explaining” his opposition to gay marriage.

“I’m with South Carolina . I believe in traditional marriage — between a man and a woman, without animosity. I don’t mind if people are able to transfer their property, visit their loved ones in hospitals, but marriage to me, I’ve stayed with the concept of traditional marriage.”

~ 57 year-old confirmed bachelor and long-suspected closet-case South Carolina Senator Lindsey Graham, ‘Explaining” his opposition to soiling the hallowed institution of marriage (that he has yet to ever enter) with icky gay love.

The march towards marriage equality is continuing to advance across the nation. The Supreme Court  is set to hear two high profile cases next week that could either  close the door a little tighter or bust it off its hinges completely. A sitting Republican Senator has recently come out in support of gay marriage, and while there remains much debate about the sincerity of his motives, the fact that it happened at all is big news. Others on the right (as well as a few homophobic assholes on the left who still just don’t get it, like DOMA-backing Arkansas Senator Mark Pryor) are still beating the drum of ‘traditional” marriage as if gay marriage will bring about the apocalypse and flocking to explain their biblical, conservative stances………stances that will, one day (ahem, TODAY) look as ridiculous as these:

One minute and twenty seconds long, and made me cry like a baby.
