First of all, I didn't realize there could be no Confederate memorialsor monuments. The issue with the flag is whether it should be flown on the grounds of the State House in SC.  It has not been outlawed.  Personally, I don't know why anyone would want to fly the flag of a failed "nation" that only existed for a few years over a hundred years ago, especially when people find it offensive.  German made the Nazi flag illegal after the 2nd WW and I think they did the right thing. 

But you raise an interesting question about Miss Black America, now that black women compete in the Miss America pagent.  Personally, I think all these pagents should be done away with (although I competed in more than my share when I was young), because the only value I see is the scholarship money that they might win.  But, as I said to MM today, live and let live.  They also have black debutant balls, although I don't understand debutant balls anymore either.  They were merely a means to announce that a woman was now "out" in society and looking for a husband.  I think social media and various dating sites now take care of that.
