Why every time a black woman wins a beauty contest her physical appearance is being questioned, more so by our own black people?  Is she black enough, too light skin, nose too straight, is that her real hair, she mix, etc. etc.  I never heard white folks asking if their contest winner hair is blond enough.  I thought we are supposed to embrace our people when they are being shown in a positive manner.  From my personal experience (yes I have been to quite a few teen-age beauty contest at the Sheraton Hotel in Jamaica)  the criteria package includes;  beauty, intelligence, poise, talent and a sponsor (most likely a Jamaican of Asian, Syrian or Indian descent, and is a entrepreneur or own a commercial business), who is looking for a winner that will also give him/her business advertisement and revenues and can attract tourism and new business (international or domestic) for the island.  How many dark-skin, Afro-wearing or dread-locks contestants have you seen entered these beauty contest, in Jamaica or right here in the USA?  If one wants to see a more diversified Afro-centric contest, then put up some $$ and sponsor a talented, intelligent, creative and beautiful sistren that you believe can or will win. I may sound harsh but it's the truth, no fronting!!

Who determines who is attractive and who is not, that’s the question that needs to be asked. Looking at all three women all look like white women with a tan and that is what is suppose to be beauty to us, someone else’s perception.I remember years ago when I use to pay attention, Africa sent a black woman with short hair broad noise and thick lips and she was a runner up and she was shining.

I have no problem with anyone disagreeing with me; I like it sometimes when we disagree. I still making my point, Miss Universe don’t always have to look Eurocentric if that is your definition of beauty but she has to be smart. So why can't a woman who is smart that looks more Afro centric in beauty can’t represent Jamaica? Why you always have to have women with narrow nose bridges pointed noses and looks European to represent you as a divers island only sending one group of people? I’m just asking questions!

@evo, I have to disagree with u this time brethren. Different women enter different contest, and the sponsers, Yummy bread, Tastee patties, Red Stripe, etc. are putting up $ to sponsor a winner. So u really think Red Stripe would have sponsor Merlene Ottey to enter Ms. Jamaica World? Every black woman is unique and have her own creative talents. Ms. Jamaica is not an Olympian an the fastest 100 meter woman, does not have a sponsor for a beauty contest, her investor is betting on her athletic talent not beauty my dear. One Love.

Yeah we can criticized all we want because what we saying is true,the women that represent Jamaica at the olympics busting their asses to win Gold medals should be the same type of women that represents at Miss universe.I think our argument is fair.

Jamaica never seems to pick anyone that looks authentic to represent Jamaica. I could be wrong but they always picking women that look more Eurocentric with the long flowing hair and chiseled European look (narrow nose bridge).
