Gone

The Miss USA pageant definitely has a type. They seem to acquire the darkest, prettiest women with the most exaggerated European features they can find.  I had to look twice because Erica Dunlap looks almost like Kenya Moore when she was crowned ten years earlier. The tall, slim build with the caramel colored skin with pretty white teeth.  They were and are the epitome of black beauty to whites. Not so much to blacks though. The only black beauty queen blacks remember is Vanessa Williams even though she isn't that fine. She is light, bright and almost white.

I think Ericka may have been under the illusion of inclusion. That was probably the same thing that happened to Kenya while she was young. They thought their best hand was with the other side.Pacquio would have won if Marquez didn't show. She noted that other black  winners don't come back.  There must be a reason. Just because they don't answer the door. Doesn't mean they're gone.
