Poll of the Day > This 22 y/o Girl is BLASTED for not being BLACK ENOUGH to WIN!! Is She Hot???

(+) Yeah! (+)

22 y/o Rachael Malonson from Texas was crowned the winner of the MISS BLACK UNIVERSITY OF TEXAS Pageant..and now she's getting blasted by critics who say she isn't BLACK ENOUGH to have won and are questioning whether or not she is even AFRICAN AMERICAN!!

But Rachael is biracial as the pageant was hosted by the historically black fraternity Kappa Alpha Psi.

When they announced her win, people were quick to point out how light her skin colour was

One user on twitter said "They still chose the most light-skinned" and another said "Her father may be black but socially i see she doesn't even claim it unless when it's convenient for her. That's the s*** i don't like"

Many brought up Rachel Dolezal as an example of someone who used "blackness" for her own advantage.

But Rachael has a black father and a white mother and was taken back by the racism and said "I didn't realize that even after i received the title i would still have to explain myself, that there was still ignorant people out there who are asking me to prove myself. Just because i have stright hair and olive skin tone doesnt mean i'm not black..i don't have to look a certain way to be black"

She's a senior and a broadcasting/journalism student who took the backlash in stride however as she thanked everyone who supported her, especially for those in the African American community.

She struggled with her mixed heritage as no one figured out where she was from and thought she was hispanic at first.

Rachael is a proud member of the Black Community and in the International Women's Movement who is active in the Democratic Party.

Is Rachael Hot? let's see what people think

Rachael - Winner

She's hot yes and looks african-american to me.
---

Just goes to show how deeply racist the black community is, I guess.

She looks alright.
---

She clearly looks biracial. And looks more white on top of that
Still the giro on the right is cuter since she ia more slim
---

They blasted her
---

i would not consider her black, no.

if i met her i'd just think she had some spanish in her, because...that's what it looks like.
---

Yeah I'd hit it, but my first guess is that she's Puerto Rican tbh.
---

Average, doesn't look black. I would've thought she was Hispanic.
