Internet is Celebrating the Victory of These 3 Black Women Who Made It to the Miss USA Pageant History

For the first time in history ever, last night three black girls have won America’s biggest beauty pageants. A total of 51 candidates were cut to semi-finalist and then finalists, where each of them were competing among themselves in swimsuit and pretty evening gowns. Only three girls out of 51 have made it to the finale.

These black girls were namely Miss North Carolina Cheslie Kryst the stage, Miss Nevada Tianna Tuamoheloa, and Miss Oklahoma Triana Browne. Finally, Miss North Carolina who is a lawyer by her profession won the Miss USA title.

Do you know what these not so fair girls are the perfect examples of racism and bias where people compare each other and judge them on the basis of their physical appearance and look?

Before winning this title, many of the women’s have worn the crown in the history of the Miss USA pageant.

Carole Anne-Marie Gist was the first women to win this title long back in 1990 and recently girls like Deshauna Barber and Kára McCullough have taken this prestigious title.

The sweetest moment last night was when Miss Teen USA 2019, Kaliegh Garris who is just 18 years old has made it more special by giving a bouquet of flowers to Kryst.

Twitter users have also appraised their winning by mentioning: “These Black girls snatching those crowns, literally. I love it! Miss Teen USA, today Miss USA are both Black women!”

They all were pretty surprised to know that this tie the girls who have won the title are all black queens.

Remarking the victory of this successful event by these black girls, Miss USA 2016 Deshauna Barber told that, “I had no idea just how much racism I would experience from an International perspective”. She also told how once she had to endure those racist remarks while she was competing for Miss Universe. How people used to make fun of her by sending her monkey emojis and saying that her king seemed like a poop emoji and tag in photos using apes.

God deserves all the thanks and praise for this incredible and life-changing moment. Last night was so surreal that I keep waiting to wake up. Thank you to everyone who has supported me over the years, thanks to my friends and family who flew all the way to #RenoTahoe just to be there for me, and thanks to everyone who has sent me a text, DM, Facebook message, email, or called me. It is a blessing to have so much support from you all and I promise I’ll do my level best to respond to each one of you. I’m on my way to New York now to move into my new apartment and I couldn’t be more thrilled and grateful. I’m Miss USA 2019, Cheslie Kryst.

So, remarkably the title won by these girls who are all black have justified that the future won’t be defined by the past and their black skin could not them achieve what they deserve for.

For months, my alarm rang daily at 4:45am so I could get in a morning workout. In the weeks leading up to my departure for Miss USA, I’d also come home and get in a second workout—30 to 45 minutes on the bike or elliptical. I gave up pasta, fried food, and dessert (with the occasional sweet treat on the weekends). I hated every second of my workout and nutrition regimen. But I’m thrilled that I felt confident and proud to strut my hard work across the Miss USA stage this week. One more day ‘til finals!!

Truly this is like a big tight slap on the faces of the people who are good for nothing and who are responsible for making them let down by comparing talent with their skin colour.

Seriously we want more black girls like them who could break the stereotype by winning more number of beauty pageants award and accolades to prove the fact to all the girls that every girl irrespective of her shade and colour deserves to win titles as they won.

Congrats to Miss USA , Miss Teen, and Miss America ❤️ Beautiful black women, so proud in this moment.

Although I feel some type of way about pageants, I’m excited that today I woke up in a world where the norm is, “Black is beautiful”. In case you didn’t know, Miss USA, Miss America and Miss Teen USA are all Black women. Black Girls for the win! ?? #BlackGirlMagic
