If those 2 tweets are the reason for stripping her of the title, then I don't support it. That's expression of narrow-minded viewpoints, not political activity IMO.
shes not ugly but not seeing why she was the top dog in michigan?
But on what basis is such a title awarded in the first place? Is this not similar to booting people off a privately-owned forum?
I sympathise a little bit because as much as I disagree with her those views are not uncommon. She didn't endorse Hilter or something. But isn't this a privately run competition and hence they can set whatever rules they wish about such things?
This post stood out to me in a way I find as admirably logical and well written and tightly focused, something I view as appropriate counter speech to her myopic speech.Two things, and I'll address the easier first: If you have to put a racist disclaimer on your statement, there's a fair chance it is, and a virtual 100% chance it's a bad idea to post.
Second most "black deaths," are due to medical causes, except for Black Males from 15-34 where homicide is the leading cause. If we apply our idiot autocorrect, and infer that she meant most black homicide is committed by other black individuals, there's actually pretty good evidence that is true. But, most white homicide is committed by white individuals (though the odds of being a homicide victim are significantly lower if you're white.) It doesn't really prove much about which community needs to fix itself.
The bigger thing that those stats don't address, is what is the actual cause of the homicide? While not absolving the murderers at all, who or what creates/perpetuates the conditions that fuel the much higher murder rates among young black men? I'd argue that is as much a cause as the individual the actually commits the crime.

You do know that almost all pageants at that level (state, national) have codes of conduct and "morals" clauses in them, don't you?
Three years ago, Miss Virginia had her crown stripped from her, after it was discovered that she had made a sex tape. And her reign was almost up. She had held the crown for nine months.
Miss Virginia was acting in a totally nonpolitical, personal capacity, when she was doing double penetration on that video. There was no statement, just a girl that wanted to have fun. (And yes, the video is available on porn hub.)
Yet, she was still stripped from her title.
Okay, so she was acting political, who cares? The problem is that acting politically one way is fine and dandy, while the other is immediately shunned. That's a problem detective dipshit.
If they say it violates their religious beliefs is it okay? My god says that trumpers get reincarnated as tape worms.

If they can quote in their own rules where she disobeyed - thats absolutely fine then. The problem is - they cant. Because their actions were clearly partisan bullshit.
There are plenty of liberal opinions that would have gotten her shunned too. I suspect if she had tweets calling for the boycott of Israel she would have gotten the boot as well, for example. You guys aren’t being picked on, the standard is the standard.
She’s free to speak her mind and they are free to hold her accountable for that.
I don't agree with her tweets, but nothing in there bad enough to justify removing her title. People are way too sensitive these days, and yet they seem to seek out things to be offended at, so they can pretend to be outraged.
Bull-fucking-shit. She could have said the most liberal-yuppie-retarded statements of all times like "Open borders for all!" and the only thing it would result in is a a round of applause from the plenty of other low-IQ brow-beating sea of seals that are in this type of industry.
Not being against jews isn't exactly a republican or democrat thing either - it's a "not being a piece of shit person" kind of thing.
I think the quoted tweets are far too mainstream conservative viewpoints
...
Also, being against Israeli policy and wanting to boycott them over it isn’t being against Jews. This is a frequent lie told by conservatives to try and deligitimize criticism of Israel.

"Brow-beating" doesn't mean what you think it does.
