Kenya Moore Says Miss USA Got A Slap On The Wrist

1993 Miss USA Kenya Moore says: “What the crown stands for is a woman who holds a certain moral standard, who is an inspiration to young girls, who is a role model. Why give her this chance at this stage? Perhaps let her build her life and redeem herself on her own." The fact that Vanessa Williams was dethroned as Miss America 1984 and that the current Miss USA runner up is an African-American, Miss California Tamiko Nash, Moore doesn’t dance around the racial connotations the decision may have. "It’s unfortunate because we still live in America. We still live in a racially [divided] climate, she said. “When Vanessa [Williams] went through certain things in her life and it was found out during her reign, she was dealt a very severe hand. So now you have this blonde, blue-eyed girl who has done, a very scandalous, even illegal thing, yet she gets a slap on the wrist. I’m all for somebody being given a second chance, no one is perfect. But why is it you can’t be a good role model for 365 days? And if you don’t draw the line at illegal activity, where do you draw the line?” (EUR)

Do Not Ask Taye Diggs About His Wife

Taye Diggs was asked what he thought about Black women who were disappointed that he didn't marry a Black woman, In Rolling Out Magazine, to which he responded: “I’m too far along in my life and in my career to really give a question like that any type of dignified answer,” says Diggs, who was raised in black, middle-class Rochester, N.Y. “When I was in high school, maybe. College, maybe. But I’m a grown-ass man and if people have a difficult time dealing with that, then I welcome them to see a movie with Omar Epps or Denzel Washington or some of those other brothers that have chosen to spend the rest of their lives with sisters." Well, alrighty then. No "love is colorblind" or any of that, huh Taye? Just go see somebody else? Is that how you really feel, Mr. Two Cancelled Sitcoms and steadily plummeting Hollywood stock?
