Move over Vanessa Williams! You're not the only history-making pageant winner to relinquish your crown due to a scandal.
Rachel Christie, who was the first black woman to be crowned Miss England in July, has relinquished her crown after being arrested on suspicion of a nightclub assault.
According to published reports, Christie became involved in a dispute with another beauty queen, Miss Manchester Sara Beverley Jones, when she was allegedly punched in the face after arguing about Tornado -- a gladiator who appears in a popular British television show.
Tornado, whose real name is David McIntosh, is believed to be Jones' ex-boyfriend and Christie's current lover. A statement from Miss England organizers said Christie, 21, wanted to concentrate on clearing her name.
But all is not lost for the bronze beauty; she's a medal-winning athlete who can transcend into other areas like Williams, who went on to become a major superstar after giving up her Miss America crown in 1983, when nude photos of her were leaked and published.

To make such a negative, sweeping generalization about a race of people is tantamount to racism. And racism equals predjudiceness and prejudiceness equals ignorance. You Ignoramus!!!!

Really! Well sweetie I don't know what black youths you have come in contact with? The media never shows the black youth that are making straight a's in school and living in a homeless shelter! How about the black youth that help at nursing homes without getting paid just to be of help to the elder. Or how about the black youth that are going to Harvard! And the list goes on and on! No I am not playing the race card but if we are going to keep it equal then let's do that! I agree that she should give her crown up because she should be a role model. However then everybody that has a disgraceful background like posing nude doing drug, or stripping should lose their crown as well!

They don't owe us anything.
There's a war going on so stop asking for approval from white people. I suppose they are victims of the same societal trap only thing were the one ones on the worst end. Designated to be the morelocks in their past present and future.
Don't Ask them for anything! They don't owe us anything. Its like a gazelle asking a hiyena "do not to eat me". If you want a more elaborate reason check out
