“… you have the right to speak the way that you feel, no matter what platform, no matter what belief system, that you have that right; and that’s beautiful.”

Yes, you have that right. What you don’t have is the right to be free of any and all consequences.

Elise's avatar

Yes. Please do. Speak loudly, exactly the way you feel so that we may all know exactly who you are. When the pendulum swings and all my racist, homophobic, transphobic, misogynist neighbors suddenly pretend they were nowhere near the place, I want to remember exactly who they really are. I always remember the French people who collaborated with the Germans in WWII who tried to pretend at the end of the war that they too were nowhere near the place. They were lucky if they went to trial or were shunned; many met their consequence in a back alley instead.

These people don't seem to understand that part.

Being a beauty pageant queen is not a right. The pageant owners have rights too.

Lynn Veit's avatar

As much as I despise pageants, this is true. It's their franchise, their business, their whatever, and they make the rules. IIRC, all contestants have to sign some sort of contract that spells out those rules. So if someone is found to have broken the rules, that someone should not be surprised when the bill comes due.

Lynn Veit's avatar

Exactly. Screaming "persecution" about it just tells everyone that you think free speech applies solely to you and no one else. Also, refusing to accept consequences for what they are - the direct result of your words/actions - reveals that you are in fact an entitled asshole who thinks she is not bound by any rules whatsoever, and that your are such a thin-skinned snowflake you bristle at the mere suggestion that you should face consequences.

Those ‘conservative Christians’ of which she speaks are very quick to claim persecution anytime they face blow-back for their views. Evidently, they are the only people entitled to an opinion. I list Mormonism under the heading, ‘Some people will believe anything.’

Curing blindness with magic mud. Healing at a distance. Never mind coming back from the dead.

Some people will indeed believe anything. 😝

regmeyer's avatar

Even that their magic book is totally the "word of gawd" when it was written by a fraud.

And, until the Mormon gerontocracy had a ‘revelation’ in the 70s, blacks were essentially persona non grata in that religion. And most other Christians don’t consider them under the big Christian sect tent…

Same as creationists being quick to claim persecution every time science teachers mark pro-creationist answers wrong on normal science tests.

Proof that when it comes to kkkonservative xtians, beauty is only skin deep.

Joan the Dork's avatar

Since the advent of Mar-a-Lago Face, beauty hasn't even made it that deep. Too much bronzer in the way.

"Persecution!" Because of course, her racism is 100% because of her Christianity.

Last article, I gave it a 75% chance that thie next article would be about a bigot. God damn, I hate being right.

Maltnothops's avatar

Almost no one at CP thinks Mormons are Christian. I wonder what she thinks of that.

NOGODZ20's avatar

I love it when they go after one another. Lets me make another batch of popcorn.

Joe King's avatar

It makes me think CP is selling bagpipe lessons.

David Graf's avatar

That's probably why I haven't seen any article on her at CP yet.

Revoltinghouse is a conservative? She'd best keep a sharp lookout. With her skin tone, it's only matter of time before the conservatives of ICE show up at her door.

Andrew's avatar

Conservative Christianity is a white supremacist death cult. She sees attacks on her racism as attacks on her faith, because they are indeed the same damn thing.

Just now seeing this. You beat me to it while I was typing it.

If being the fiancee of a prominent conservative Texas businessman didn't protect Yasmin Suarez Reyes, a tacky tiara and a worthless title won't protect Brittany Boltinhouse.

She is persecuted, not for her racist language, but for her religious beliefs. She is a mormon, a religion that follows a book where it is stated that having a black skin is a punishment from God. And until it was recently repealed by the LDS chief prophet, this condition also made you inelegible for priesthood.

Troublesh00ter's avatar

I would love someone to explain something to me: considering this woman's background and history, how the hell was she considered for the competition in the first place? If the Miss USA organization doesn't vet their contestants ahead of time, I would love to know why not.

Her language, her behavior, and her bigotry are obvious on its face.

Lynn Veit's avatar

Beauty pageants themselves are sexist and demeaning, meant to reduce women to the sum of their parts and judge them solely on their appearance.

We all see you standing for what you believe. You believe you shouldn't face consequences for your bigotry. Believe that all you want, it won't stop those consequences. Welcome to reality.

Her Christian holy book states that women are to be kept quiet; that they are not allowed to teach or have authority over men.

Yet another pick-and-choose believer dipping into their sacred Whitman's Sampler.

She has no idea what genuine persecution is. She lives in a country where Christianity is the dominant religion and practically everyone in power is a Christian.

Persecution? Let her get a taste of the genuine article by emigrating to a country where her religion does NOT dominate and that its followers truly are being persecuted. She'd be screaming to be let back into the US where she's safe.

oraxx's avatar

If you want to see what genuine persecution looks like. . . hand power to the preachers.

Joe King's avatar

One pf the few things Goldwater got right.

Lynn Veit's avatar

Same for ALL those conservative Christian assholes who think persecution means "people walking away from me and/or refusing to listen to me because I'm an asshole."

Telling them to get a clue does no good, because they wouldn't know a clue if it bit them in the ass.

Edited for typo

"Brittany Boltinhouse says her conservative Christianity cost her the title."

Nope, you won when you were just a conservative christian. Your bigotry caused you to lose the title.

You said the quiet part out loud.

Patricia Kayden's avatar

It’s scary how easily these Christians lie even though one of their Ten Commandments clearly prohibits bearing false witness. Smh

larry parker's avatar

Lying for Jesus is the exception to the rule.

Joan the Dork's avatar

Other than all the other exceptions, of course.

Lynn Veit's avatar

Sometimes I wonder if they would spontaneously combust if they ever accidentally spoke the truth.

Lynn Veit's avatar

It's a reflex with them. Lie like a rug and scream persecution loud enough to stun small mammals when they get called out.

Not only is she a racist, her speech patterns, spelling, grammar, etc. are totally trashy.

Come on, North Carolina—is this your example of your best womanhood?

"example of" One must question North Carolina's public education as well.
