2010 Miss America
2010 Miss America Pageant winner 22 year old Virginia native Caressa Cameron is the latest black pageant winner since 2005. After being crowned Miss Virginia, Cameron won the major pageant. What’s interesting about this story is not that a black woman was crowned Miss America; that been done before. The interesting thing was one of the judges in the pageant. The judges were comprised of different celebrities in all different professions and nationalities such as actress Vivica Fox and comedian Paul Rodriguez. Another judge was radio personality Rush Limbaugh who is no stranger to controversy when it comes to African American. Long perceived to be a racist with his outlandish comments about President Barack Obama and NFL quarterback Donovan McNabb, it’s surprising that he would have anything to do with voting in a black Miss America Pageant winner. I can’t help but wonder if he put aside all his convictions and voted her his top choice or if the other judges were responsible for voting Cameron as the winner…idk what do you think?
