Former Miss Teen USA Accuses Trump of Racial Preferences at Pageants
Source: Mother Jones
But according to one former Miss Teen USA, Trump's beauty pageant misdeeds didn't stop at entering dressing rooms, but also extended to racist behavior towards black contestants.
In a series of tweets posted Wednesday, Kamie Crawford described her first interaction with Donald Trump after winning the competition in 2010. Crawford, who was seventeen at the time and was the first black girl to win the title in nearly a decade, said that prior to meeting Trump, she was warned that "Mr. Trump doesn't like black people," and that if he did respond to her kindly, it would be because she was the "type of black he likes."

Crawford also recalled a moment when Trump turned his back on a black contestant during rehearsals for Miss Universe:
While she was practicing on stage. Literally turned his back to the stage and made a face like he was going to vomit at the sight of her.

Crawford's Twiiter comments on Trump started with this one, a comment on the stories that he walked in on naked pageant contestants:

I'd recommend that you use the arrows there to read all of it.
Trump did treat her better than some other black contestants, but she wants people to know what he's like.

disseminated on national media because the subject IS NOT important to them. Just like the physician on the Delta flight who was immediately disqualified by the flight attendant as a physician, with demeaning and patronizing comments because of her skin color, and who demanded she show credentials because she got on at Detroit, her words. Racism is normalized only because the media DOES NOT play up the egregious nature of offenses as printed above because black skin is devalued. All these white women revealing, now, about the true, real nature of the trumpenfuhrer and the media howls like a wounded animal. How truly disgusting americans are in their racist hypocrisy. The women involved in this latest meltdown are victims of the male superiority fallacy that the trumpenfuhrer lives by, no doubt, and don't ever think I am not offended by his brutish, classless manner and would like to punch that ahole in the face. Yet racism and sexism would not be a problem if the media paid a lot more attention to the fact that amerikkka in the guise of an d.trumpenfuhrer is almost irredeemable in the matter of being a racist, sexist nation. Although this incident described in OP above MAY finally bring some scrutinity nationally to like incidents everywhere, woman at all levels are abused in this society and it must end. Yet it cannot be overlooked, AA women are abused doubly, first as a woman with black skin in general society in incidents as described above and then as woman in the trumpenfuhrer society who are called body shaming words such as piggy, ugly and treated in much worse and sometimes fatal ways. Again, this society that long ago should have conquered these two social ills are still mightily struggling, with no end in sight, with its racist, sexist nature.
The Obamas, both FLOTUS and POTUS has proved the former for the last 7+ years, HRC WILL prove the latter for the next 8 years when she moves, again into 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue as POTUS with First Husband? Will he be FLOTUS? FHOTUS, I guess.....
