Message: From GoLocalProv by Carol Anne Costa, GoLocalProv MINDSETTER™: We like to think since the election of our first black President we are living in a post racial USA. Well my hope hopes for moving our nation closer to that reality were definitely dashed in the moments following the crowning of our new, beautiful and totally American Miss America, Nina Davuluri. Davuluri was born on April 20, 1989 in Syracuse, New York according to her Miss America biography she attended the University of Michigan and won several scholastic honors and graduated in 2012 with a degree in Brain Behavior and Cognitive Science. Nina hopes to attend medical school and become a physician. Her platform issue ironically is: Celebrating Diversity through Cultural Competency: Beauty, brains and poise…sounds like a real American success story to me. What blew up in the social feeds following her win was in my view, ghastly and great. You see, not only was Miss America barraged with racist and ugly commentary conversely, she was shielded by American folks who came to her defense by celebrating her achievement and calling out the twits on Twitter. http://www.golocalprov.comhttp://beta.golocalprov.com/carol-anne-costa-nina-davuluri-beauty-and-the-beasts
