Let me tell you something,
Cubans have African ancestry and Angola is in Africa. Go back and read your history books, the truthfulones, and you will know that life started in Africa.
What is more important is that she, Ms. Universe, is taking on a roll to help and inform about the diseases that affect our world, not just in Angola!
I don't think that AIDs has discriminated against only a few countries or races. It is everywhere, the question still remains about how and where it started.
Did it matter where she came from? If someone is born in a particular country even if their ancestry is from elsewhere, are they not classified as a citizen or patriot of the country they were born in?
Please people, it is about what she is trying to bring about, awareness regarding AIDs.
She is beautiful.
Her purpose is beautiful!
All the haters like she said, go and check out what the hell is on your mind and whether it is what Jesus or God would do!

When was the last time you won a beauty contest?
Women of color are beautiful if not more beautiful than some others.
Life is too short; live and accept the judges decisions you will feel better as time passes.
My prayers are for you (and others like you).

I think you need a history check.I don't know where your history was taught but go back in time black was all over this world. Just look at the color of races now do you see any white AFRICA,LIBYA,ASIA,SHIITE,IRAQA,SOUTH AMERICA,JAPAN,GREECE,CUBAN,SAUDI ARABIA,INDIA,IRAN,ISRAEL,PAKKISTAN ,HATI,CHINESE,HAITI,BAHAMAS,AND SO ON LOOK AT COLOR NOW.THESE PERSON WAS FREEE TO DO ANYTHING THEY WANT TILL RACE CAME INTO PLAY.SO do study your history before judging others.People who hate blacks so much in the deep south know more then you.so now go back read the true kkk book.It online.you learn a lot how slavery or hate started.
