Delaware’s 7-year-old Little Miss Hispanic is devastated that she was stripped of her title because she’s not Hispanic enough.
After winning the Miss Chiquita Delaware pageant on August, 31, Jakiyah McCoy graced the cover of a Spanish language newspaper. That’s when questions and doubts were raised among readers in the Latin community.
El Tiempo Hispano newspaper reports that president of Nuestras Raíces (Our Roots) Delaware Maria Perez denies the allegations that Jakiyah was stripped of her title for being black.
Perez said the family couldn’t prove the minimum requirement of 25% Latin roots.
According to the McCoys, Jakiyah’s grandmother was part Dominican — they just couldn’t prove it.
“Her parents were asked to bring in documentation,” said Perez, defending the decision to disqualify Jakiyah. “Of all of the documentation brought in there was nothing that confirmed Dominican heritage,” Perez said.
In protest, Daniel José Older started a Change.org petition, which by Thursday had grown to 500 signatures.
“Nuestras Raices Delaware has blocked her win after an outcry from people claiming that, because she is Black, she is ‘not the best representative of Latin beauty,” writes Older.
Perez told Latin Rebels that this isn’t the first time a pageant winner was stripped of her title for not being Hispanic enough.
She maintains her decision was not racially motivated.
“Color has nothing to do with it,’ she told Latino Rebels. ‘We’re all Latinos. That’s why we’re so beautiful because we come in all different colors.”
Perez added: “We can’t have her be the queen if she doesn’t have the proper documentation.”
Others believe the organizers had every right to select a winner who better represents their heritage.
It’s hard to imagine how Jakiyah won the title in the first place. If this had been a Little Miss Black America pageant and a Caucasian or Hispanic girl won the title black parents would have been outraged.
Ha!
Haa!
Perez said the family couldn’t prove the minimum requirement of 25% Latin roots.
OR is it cause of her DARKskin?? this is a Damn shame

Yall some bama ass fools to keep riding for sandra no matter how much she sterotypes black americans and she’s not even from here. We keep excusing her race baiting language just so u won’t get banned, what is this… middle school.
You can only imagine how this little girl feels after being told she was not Latin enough..
Too bad they couldn’t prove she had Dominican blood. Even if they could since her grandma was only “part Dominican” and I would assume half. one of her parents would have to be 25%, so that would make the little girl only 12.5%. While I see the guidelines, I feel for that girl.
“Her parents were asked to bring in documentation,” said Perez, defending the decision to disqualify Jakiyah. “Of all of the documentation brought in there was nothing that confirmed Dominican heritage,” Perez said.

Firstly, Good morning.
Secondly, You’re here for the very same reasons the rest of us are, for entertainment. IF you do not like what Sandra writes, there are other sites you can visit. The majority of us calls Sandra on her ish when she is biased anyway. So for you to spew that ignorance it’s pathetic. Now you can go have a \___/ and have a pod full of gum.

I about laughed my ass off when I read this ish. The person who posted it on FB was all ”
I’m scared for America today!”
So this morning I was taking the girls to school when there was a girl out there with 2 of her kids cause she said her car wouldn’t start. I took her and told her I had to run in the office. Well I come out and she standing by the car like she mad. I was like
what is the problem? This heffa said, well I have to be to work at 8 and I thought you would have been out by now. Needless to say I pulled off and the only reason I turned back around was cause it was a long walk for her baby but I drove her azz to the bus stop. People trying it this morning!

@apparition\LadyLew; that’s EGGSactly my thought. Why wasn’t her and ALL the other contestants checked out to BEGIN with.
DALLAS — The Texas Board of Education has drawn scrutiny in recent years for its efforts to revise its curriculum to favor more conservative-friendly versions of history and science. After revising textbooks last year to emphasize Christian influences on the Founding Fathers and introduce Intelligent Design to biology classes, the Board voted nine to zero today to change official nomenclature regarding slavery. In Texas, students will now be taught that slaves were not kidnapped and exploited against their will, but were actually “unpaid interns.” “While African workers were not compensated monetarily,” the new curriculum guidelines acknowledge, “by working outside picking cotton, they gained valuable career experience and were provided with ample networking opportunities.” Charlie Schuster, a three-term board member from Dallas, introduced the motion. For the incredulous Schuster, the idea that the Founding Fathers were involved in a system of owning fellow humans simply was too much to believe. “Either the Founding Fathers were divinely-inspired statesmen,” said Schuster, “or they endorsed slavery. That’s a pretty glaring contradiction. So obviously slavery didn’t exist.” “Sure, these plantation interns had it harder than today’s modern college students,” Board of Ed member Alan Wixom told Newslo. “They didn’t have coffee breaks, they couldn’t goof around on Facebook, they were frequently beaten within an inch of sweet merciful death — but they made lifelong connections and built some strong resumes in the process. Not to mention the acclaimed music they were encouraged to write!” Schuster’s motion reportedly included several primary source documents provided by revisionist historian David Barton, which lent credibility to the Board’s interpretation of slavery. One of the documents — a diary entry supposedly written by a slave in Virginia — proudly describes the glowing letter of recommendation he was given by “the man with the bullwhip.” But the Board’s critics were vocal in their opposition to the changes. “Look at this garbage,” said education activist Javier Narilla, reading from the new curriculum. “‘History textbooks should mention that the international slave trade was merely an early precursor to modern study abroad programs.’ This is the law now.” Added Narilla, “I hate this state.” Whether liberal or conservative, political and pedagogical experts agree that the implications of this decision are monumental, Texas State Senators are already considering legislation that would award slaves retroactive college credit in lieu of reparations.

A pretty little girl… sadly they should have made it a prerequisite so not to embarass their participants and leave them heartbroken.
That’s the pageants dumb @ss fault. They should have checked all the documentation from the jump. The fact that they didn’t shows me it was probably a ghetto-fab production to begin with.

******************************
They should have asked her for documentation from ALL the contestants when they first applied for the competition. Not from just her after she had already won. And I’m almost sure it’s because she’s Black. I have a latina co-worker who says that the “color issues” are worse in the Hispanic communities than it is within the Black community.
