Former Miss Teen USA: I was warned Trump didn't like black people

"As the first WOC [woman of color]...To win the title in almost a decade - I was forewarned prior to meeting him that, 'Mr. Trump doesn't like black people," she tweeted Wednesday.

Crawford was reportedly told not to take it the wrong way if Trump wasn't "extremely welcoming" to her.
 
"If he is, then u just must be the 'type' of black he likes," she said she was told.
 
Crawford said she had been raised in the suburbs of Potomac, Md. She had personally experienced racism only once and it occurred outside of her hometown.
 
"Needless to say, I was totally caught off guard&super nervous bc this is supposed to be my boss I'm meeting - &he might not like me ALREADY?" she tweeted.
 
"Sure enough after I was warned about him, I saw him in action&witnessed him completely snub a black contestant at Miss Universe rehearsals," she continued.
