46. Wow I have to say I apologize. I was just reading the news when I came across this bit of interesting debate. As a woman of 3 small girls I feel that tara is a role model to them and if she can't conduct herself then she should be dismissed! The fact that the runner up is black is irrelevant. Hopefully she has more understanding and class when it come to her role as Miss USA. As a black woman I don't care who my daughters look up to as long as they live up to the standards that are placed before them. To see another black woman act in such a fashion is the reason we are still stereotyped. I have always told my girls to defy stereotype by rising above the mediocrity that has been placed before you and always act with grace. Farrah would do well to heed that advice. Have a blessed day!

47. to Girly....I want to apologize, I was not making my statement towards all black people, but it is people like Farrah that make this world the way it is now. (not only black people, white people too.)

And I so agree that Racisim keeps Racisim going.

I am not proud to be white, I am just proud to be an AMERICAN. people of my race disgrace me too.

48. um i think tara needs her crown taken away. if your a public figure such as miss america and you behave in that sort of way. you like so deserve what you get. and even though like farrah brought up the race thing. you people are just as mean (some of you not all) the things you have responded with are just nasty and upsetting. white or black. Im black and i think there both goreogus. and hopefully the new miss america will be a better role model. but like again on the other side you can get to mad. like youve never had a sip of alchol before the age of 21. come on now. be honest. o girl just wanted some fun. you cant blame her. thats what you do when your young. you party and have fun.

but um yup i hope tamikoenjoys the crwon

49. #2: Cut it with the racism sh*t, would ya? It's truly pathetic how a person with a working brain would give a rat's ass about a vapid "beauty" pageant.

This degrading pageant has run its course and it's to can that, Miss Black USA (where are your comments about THAT racist show, Mr. Equality???), Miss Universe, and the rest of them.

Why men do not have to undergo such degrading routines as having to parade around in bikinis and answer beyond dumb questions for scholarship money, I will never understand.

So much for progress!

50. All of you who attacked my opinion have proven your racism. Just because I'm black and say something you don't like, you attack me. I'm proud to be black and I won't stop talking about racism until it no longer exists. Thank you to the folks who support me. We are still the minority, but that should not stop us from continuing the struggle for a equal playing feild.

51. I am so glad Tara is losing her crown. I wanted Tamiko to win all the way and was pissed when Tara won. I'm Filipinio. So I don't why whenever two people are black and white and when there is a controversy that it was racist. Dumb, ignorant people. That means you, Farrah. You're a disgrace to your own people.

52. Farrah people are not attacking you opion because your black they are attacking your opion because it's stupid! When we speak on on something that is racist people are gonna be like ohhh their playing the race card! Because of people like you who make it about race when it has nothing to do with race! And #49 I thank you for the apology and I feel where your comming from!

53. All you people going way out of your way to bash Farrah are a bunch of dumb sh*ts. I'm white, and I've personally heard at least 2 employers talk about how they would not hire someone becuase that person was black. THEY WERE RACIST MOTHERF***ERS----THAT'S WHY THEY SAID THAT! And I think that type of thing does go on in our society alot and it should be raged against, talked about, whatever.So all you people that want to ignore things and think that just cause things are easy for your white ass, they are easy for everyone---save it.

54. Of course drinking and/or being in a club underage are both against the law but no one would have said a thing about it. It would have gone unnoticed had there not beed minor property damage and a potential lawsuit as a result of her actions that night. Stay tuned... It gets better.

55. EVERYONE PLEASE LISTEN UP!! FARRAH IS JACKIE AND I'M CONVINCED IT IS NOT A BLACK WOMAN AFTER ALL, PERHAPS NOT EVEN A WOMAN

BOTTOM LINE HER LAST COMMENTS ARE A SELFISH, PATHETIC ATTEMPT TO HAVE ALL OF THE ATTENTION FOCUSED AND WRITTEN BACK TO HER. (NOT EVEN THE ORIGINAL TOPIC SEEMS TO BE DISCUSSED ANYMORE).

SINCE WE CAN ALL AGREE TO DISAGREE WITH THE FICTIOUS "FARRAH & JACKIE" LET'S ALL (WHITE, BLACK, LATIN, WHATEVER) TOTALLY DISREGARD ALL OF "ITS" COMMENTS. THIS "PERSON" HAS ISSUES THAT ARE FAR GREATER THAN OUR ADVISE CAN OFFER AND CLEARLY IS A MISERABLE SACK OF ( BROWN, RED, WHITE, BLACK & YELLOW CRAP OF shi*t...

NO MORE E-MAILS TO "HER."

56. People -- if I'm not mistaken 'Farrah' is a white individual. She typed post [#2] to get people to start up a 'race war' or should I say a blog war. She gets her kick baiting people. And apparently it's working.

Bottom line -- life comes with rules. Tara didn't follow them and now she's out on her can.

57. This is so great because Miss California Tamiko Nash was by far more deserving than that other whatever her name is girl. I watch the pagent and behind the scenes documentary and Nash was far more intelligent, educated, and classier of the two.But it was odd watching that show, Trump didnt make any effort to congratulate Nash as the first runner up recipient, he didnt even make eye contact. Take that Trump!!!

58. What makes everyone assume that Farrah is actually black? Trolls like to play the pretend game.

59. I think that "Tim" is Farrah too. Same writing style. Now, if Farrah is a white person who is starting a little blog war here, this person, (white, black, pink, blue or male or female or even a he/she), is obviously a sick individual. I agree, let's let it go and have sensible conversations about the topic. I say if Miss California is better than the other idiot who screwed up, yeah for her!!!!

60. Racism will be here until the planet blows up. It's stupid to argue about it.
