???Why oh why does the world have such short memories where we are concerned, but long memories for everyone else. Is is more acceptable to use drugs and alcohol underage than it is to pose in your birthay suit. It seems not so long ago a certain Ms. Williams had to resign her crown when she was caught up in a scandal. I see they ae putting up a the first beam which has writing that says FreedomTower at the Ground Zero site in NYC, so not to forget 9/11, but folks sure seem to have forgotton our years of 9/1,2,3,4,5,6 on through the next blank years of 9/11's. I'm telling you its hard to sit back and focus being black in this, not only country, but this world.

They had no choice, because nobody watching the Pagent anymore, at least, not in the states. Trump is a shruded man, and did this to get attention for the show. She just got caught drinking, and partying,underage!!. This story will not last long.

Dolphinfan, I agree with you about Trump. He is an opportunist, a very clever one at that. This story would have been over with if it weren't for Rosie O'Donnell adding fuel to the fire. But to Trishab's point, if this were a Black woman, she would have been asked to step down right away. It's just like the Janet Jackson thing. It was an international incident when she exposed her breast, but the white celebrities like Britney Spears and Lindsey Lohan can parade around with no underwear on and it's joke.

I agree race is an issue, but i really think the ratings are so low!!, they had no choice, but to support her. Pageants are going the way of the dinosaurs.
