Summit News: A former refugee who became the first black woman to win Miss Ireland reacted to being given the award by complaining about racism.
Yes, really.
Former asylum seeker Pamela Uba said she received “a lot” of racist comments on the Internet after becoming the first black woman to win the award in its 74-year history.
“You’d be surprised,” Ms Uba said. “You would get a lot of bullying online, racism online, and I’ve experienced it quite a lot, especially since becoming Miss Galway and then becoming Miss Ireland. There is a minority there that feel the need to put out negativity.”
Some of the comments reported by Sky News weren’t even racist and merely expressed concerns about the native decline of white people.
“A black woman doesn’t represent the prototype of Irish women,” said one while another wrote: “So we all supposed to applaud the globalisation otherwise you’ll be silenced?”
Mean comments on the Internet are routinely reported by the British news media as if they’re the worst thing since the Holocaust, despite in many cases them proving to having been posted by people outside of Britain. more
First thing ngos teach them.
Play the race card to get ahead.
Yikes, I was wondering what happened to Cuba Gooding Jr.,
How do you think she won???
If looks are the primary basis for winning this competition, looks like crying racism was her best chance.
How woke is Ireland? I think we know.
You be the judge;

She’s kinda mediocre. The big lesson: affirmative action hires know they suck, so theycry racism so their incompetence or corruption is not exposed.
Sounds like the Obama idiots, doesn’t it.
Anyway: Ireland’s stuck with her, not us.
That must be the Beauty Contests version of a participation trophy. Did you see the picture of her having the crown placed on her head? She couldn’t even smile for that, just a scowl on her face. A mean, ungrateful, foreigner.
I can park a Buick in her nostrils.
Both things can be true; that many black people generate currency and status (Bubba Wallace, Jussie Smollett)by ginning up false narratives or even making shit up, and that there are some pretty vile racist people on social media.
For me, it’s gotten to the point where I don’t believe any “racist” claims unless I see the evidence for myself.
Don’t just give it to a black woman to show you aren’t racist. Did they forget this was a beauty contest not a social justice contest?
Once again another gripe about how the universe has crouched and relieved itself upon a segment of mankind.
Shame I can’t cut the Irish out of my genes.
What a whining pustule.

For those wondering about her looks, remember, this is the birthplace of whisky and the home of Guinness.
She doesn’t look Irish to me!
Big Mike will tell you how hard it is for a black woman these days. So will Ofrah.
I’m glad my immigrant father from Leitrim is dead and my mother, from Roscommon has dementia. I have dual citizenship. Haven’t been there in 3 years, but I could have told you this was coming. Different country. Lost their culture. (Not so much in the “poor” west and northern west.) The younger Irish were “woke” before it came here. (My cousins in their 40’s and 50’s not so much.)
They got rid of Aunt Jemima. They got rid of the Frito Bandito. The list goes on.
But if there is one thing I have learned from Lucky Charms is that it is still okay to hate the Irish.
I agree. Not much in the looks department.
A political pick.
She has a receding hairline and looks like she is pushing 40. How old IS she?
What the hey, now we have Affirmative Action beauty contests! Let the ugliest minority win!
If they DON’T like the country the immigrated to they can Always Immigrate back to the country they left! Or Better yet.. Don’t give them a Damn Choice.. send them back!
My Irish blood makes me think, “Well… Feck you then you ingrate poxy shite gibbon!”
Jaysus. Decades ago, the only Black Colored Irish were usually the result of a liaison between an Irish lass returning home with a baby from a stay in England without the father. There were practically no Muslims or Asians, except those attending university. Everything changed about twenty years ago when the EU started dictating that members needed to accept more asylum seekers. Most young, urban Irish think it’s a brilliant idea. Older, rural Irish not so much.
“Black Irish” takes on a whole new meaning.

Greyscape would hit it,but not me after seeing the others.
Irish need not apply
She must be from southern Ireland.
She looks like a culture appropriating hoodrat from Detroit. Yikes! Definitely, no way an Irish beauty.
Don’t they ever quit whining?
I wonder whut they would say if they crowned Cheryl Crow Miss Uganda?
She should be on Orca Whinefrey, where they can commiserate with each other over how rough life is for them.
