They Created A Monster. A Mrs Universe Monster. A First Nations Mrs Universe Monster!

Let's see if she is now booed mercilessly at every appearance. Not because of race but because they just don't like her.

dx2013, you are a disgrace.

Just wtf do you mean by 'normal looking'?

Most people on earth are dark-skinned,
as has always been the case. (Dark skin works better in the sun, you know). Majority rules, so i guess that makes you the pasty-faced weirdo.

hope thats cleared up any confusion for you.

DX...your comment is well out of line and incredibly racist! I bet your ugly face sits on an ugly body within your ugly mind that noone would ever want to share any kind of normality with!

Native American culture, religion, and environmental rights  is a huge issue that is unrecogzined or pushed aside by a large percentage of non-native people. Some one needs to address these issues. Ashley Callingbull will now be our voice. congratulations Ashley!!

Great that she is speaking out for First Nations. One thing they keep ignoring in First Nations communities though is the amount of crime, the abuse to women and children. Alot of the problem with the missing First Nations woman are caused by First Nations men. It they want to put a stop to it, the two tier court system and special Treatment for first Nations criminals need to stop. A criminal is a criminal. If they are First Nations they are given a tap on the wrist and released with special treatment. If there is no punishment for crimes they will re-offend. The first Nations women and children are going to continue to be sexually molested and murdered until there are harsher sentencing and the two tier system is abolished. There will never be enough punishment for anyone who commites these crimes. No criminal deserves special treatment. I'm not saying it's only first Nations men who commites these crimes, but alot of it is, many who previously committed the same crime and were released as they laughed at the judicial system. Mrs Universe if you want to fight for first Nations women, you need to fight to abolish the two tier judicial system to help keep all criminals locked up for as long as possible. If this system is not changed, children will continue to be molested and women will continue to be assaulted. All you have to do is look at court dockets to see what is going on in First Nation communities. Look at what the men are being charged with over and over and over. Then they are back out in no time. If you want change change the system!!!

Good grief! Who decided that was an appropriate headline?

"They created a monster"?

Since when is a strong woman who speaks out, and so eloquently, about relevant social issues  a "monster".  Come on, the days of beauty queens only getting to say they "wish for world peace" are long over.  Thank you, Creator!

DX needed to go. Thanks Chris. However, it is a shame his contributions disappear with him as it is a good reference for when racism is too overt to be harmless. And they are coming out of the woodwork in abbott's 'team australia'!

by comparison Natasha 1975 is a 'harmless' and bland racist of the 'i'm not a racist but....' kind. She wouldn't do the deed herself but would nevertheless, in her own ignorance, allow someone like DX to act for her.

Natasha 1975 is probably a good example too of why Ciaraking 03 shares a common view amongst many blacks here ie being referred to as as a 'First Nation Peoples' is not to the liking of all it seeks to cover. In Natasha's mind the reference, First Peoples, helps hide her real thoughts and feelings on the matter of race politics as they matter to her ie black men are crimminals and protected by our limp-wristed judiciary.

With this easy target she can at least  feel a little better about herself by seeing someone else is beneath her. Just the way our system loves you to think. Especially when the system itself is experiencing hard times. Capitalism needs you to be looking the other way and racism is just one of the many divisions it promotes in society to achieve this end.

Sexism is another dividing ill and beauty paegeants have played their part in negatively defining gender differences. Even now they still define 'a woman' if in a somewhat more subtle way. So good on Ashley Callingbull for challenging both.

actually I also have First Nations in my blood, I am certainly not racist. I tell it as I am seeing it in our side of the Country. Many Abusive men in the First Nations Communities attacking women and Children. If I were racist I would be attacking my own kind.

@ Natasha 1975

My apologies Natasha. I read your comment wrongly. I sympathise with your concerns. I agree that there are many deep and intractable problems amongst your people. It is the result of generations of abuse that have followed the dispossesion of blacks in this country. Our government has an on-going interest in seeing the black community continue to fall apart. You will find no sympathy for your calls from a government that only sees you as an impediment to business.

This, of course, does not give you any comfort from the sorry outcome you have to live with first hand. But abusive black man are victims of this system and asking the system to deal with them fairly is like getting abbott to admit this land was a working model in harmony and sustainability before the invasion.

The best way to restore health to the black community is to provide a more equal and just society. I can only blame our politicians and business leaders for our sorry state but, I do agree, our indigenous people suffer more than most. We have just got to cut through the lies and tragic consequences to see the real cause of our miseries.

My regards.

Everyone needs to stop focussing on what color someone's skin is. I took offended to the "pasty face" comment. Just because I am white doesn't make me any less human. To top that off my children are half First Nations. The issues affecting First Nations bother me just as much as they bother everyone affected by them. Not because these issues are affecting First Nations but because these things are affecting fellow human beings. Every race has to deal with racism against them including white people. We aren't without issues. I am a single mother with a disability. I have been discriminated against more times then I can count. I have been beaten and abused. I am a statistic. I often find those who say the are being discriminated against also discriminate against those outside their race. These issues are not "only" crimes against First Nations or other races. In my opinion they are crimes against humanity. What race you are shouldn't matter. Everyone is human and everyone should be treated the same. 

Our people have been treated unfair sence, our land was stolen from us. It is my firm belief that this is the year of Native People. Our voices will be heard. We have stood by silenced by Goverments, and watched our Mother Earth being destroyed by trial and error of the moonies. It's time for you to follow our lead, we will show you how to bring the Holy Earth back to a whole and we can do it not by trial and error, but by tenderness and love for the one that has fed us from the begining of time....
