This conversation is deep, lol. I think only a blinded fool would deny jcas deep issues re race n class, and it overflows in the arena of beauty. In many cases racially mixed girls (and even some guys) tend to have interesting features which may make em attractive. ITs great when MJW is actually beautiful, everyone gets all excited. I think what tick some ppl off is when the trend seem to lean towards one type, and one type only...A girl like dione ellis as striking as she is, could never do well in MJW. Can anyone say if Dionne ellis, the campari model, is related to Nadine Ellis, the model??

Re pics with Kerrie & at the prep school , my issue is that Baylis is in the midst  of controversy re beauty & race, yet  they send her to a pvt upscale school for photo op with mostly lightskinned privilidged jcan kids. Terri Karelle for instance was all over the country, in poor communities, going to schools where children were needy.  I can also understand why some may be offended that it would seem, white Jamaicans usually win MJW. This is unfortunate, cuz if next year, a stunning white JCAN enter MJW, it might be difficult for the judges to choose her. And whats up with some of thes MJW mothers, many live out their own dreams through their beauty queen daughters. I notice Kerries Mom was right there at Jamaica House meeting PM GOlding, chances are she knows him personally LOL, but why was she there, when Terri Karelle was chaperone?  BTW, isnt terri a trained vet with her doctorate? Why is she managing SPartan? LOL...seems like an odd career move, unless she feel theyre a bunch of strange animals down there...LOL...btw TNT looks like an overdone drag queen on Global. Im just sayin..lol

It is clear that only people with identity issues, due to their race, make issues out of race. Does it mean that you think your caucasian friends are better than you?

When will people just learn to be confident and not assume that they are less, even when no one said they were? Granted, those with the issues they are stating may have had different experiences. Why? Maybe it is the mindset they were brought up with and have continued to cultivate throughout adulthood.

lol.. what colour are those glasses you are wearing?...

Jamaica isn't very different from Brazil .. who by the way has some of the biggest issues of racism in the western hemisphere......  

majority of jamaica's beauty queen does not represent the majority of Jamaica ....  like wise majority of Brazilian queens don't represent the majority of the country.......

every once in a while it can be OK.. but every year......  well that cant be a fluke can it........

and i suppose you see nothing wrong with this pic..... .......but anyone who would pick such a mindless bytch as paris hylton as her avatar is pretty much a mindless bytch themselves....................

I do notice that the darker ones are away from her, Associated. At least this is the case in the sitting picture. It could be intentional, maybe, maybe not, but nowadays too many people are quick to find some racism in everything. First it was the matter of too many brown women in our pageants. Then it became a mindset by SOME, "Let's only pick dark girls, because they're the only true representatives of Jamaica." Then it was the fact that Baylis is white. Now it is this matter. Some people need to find a problem with everything. A mole, a square inch of cellulite, a tiny piece of "chap farid"  . Whatever. But maybe you ARE right, Associated. Those with identity issues and feelings of inferiority will probably be the first ones to make an issue out of race. They are just hunting for something that could possibly, potentially or probably be labeled as unjust. Mek me come off dis place for a good while so I can go focus pon mi tings elsewhere yah. Too many disgruntled people.   Adieu.
