Yup milk chocolate has always been my favorite.

However now and again I like the taste of special dark.

Meh, most racist people on earth are not white.

Funny the captured expression when you click on the link reminds me of "What Difference Does it Make"

Congratulations, in a country of 330million people, some buttheads own cell phones and have twitter accounts.

That's news? Seriously? It seems like CNN and the media in general is trying to create racial divides at every possible opportunity. Why give a voice to the most ignorant?

Congratulations to Nina Davuluri -- I sincerely hope she holds her head high above the disgusting barrage of vitriol evidenced in these tweets.

To Todd Starnes of Fox News, the tweeter who implied that our new Miss America doesn't represent "American values" I say: One of the values that helped make the United States so great is the idea that people can come here from other countries and make their dreams a reality. So even if Nina Davuluri wasn't a native-born U.S. citizen (which she is -- she's from Syracuse), where, exactly, is the problem?

The United States of America is made up of much more than just angry, white, "Christian" right-wingers. There's a multitude of colors, cultures, and viewpoints everywhere you look... and none of us are going anywhere. The sooner these tweeters and those who think like them realize this, the better off they'll be. After all, so much anger and bitterness is not only unbecoming... it's also very bad for your health.

Some wanted the white Kansan to be chosen as she was supposed to represent American values the best, not least because of her bible and military tattoos

Those people will have a hard time accepting the demographic future of the US...

They did this when a Mexican American performed the National Anthem. The media could make news out of anything. lol

CNN -- Created News Network -- gives a voice to the most ignorant. Anything for clicks for this pathetic excuse for a "media outlet".

And you're 100% correct, the media IS trying to create racial divides at every possible opportunity. They choose to remain silent on THOUSANDS of black/black killings in Chicago over the last several years, and yet they turn the George Zimmerman case into a three-ring circus.

Media-types have now assumed their place at the bottom of the barrel, along with politicians. Lawyers everywhere are happy that they are no longer the lowest form of life.
