Congratulations to MISS VIRGINIA--Caressa Cameron for being crowned MISS AMERICA 2010. The 22 yr old Fredericksburg,VA native is the 1st black miss america since Ericka Dunlap 2005. Cameron who is a broadcast journalism student say's " I hope to gain inspiration, I hope to gain momentum so that when this 365 days is over, I can shoot through the moon." This gurls already doing amazing things, her ambitions are so impressive to me-- I hope she becomes an inspiration to many other young women her age, SHIIT! we got too many VIDEO H**S anyway..........
Cameron won her state's title on her fourth try, and said she saw pageantry as a way to raise money and awareness for her platform issue, AIDS awareness.
She said the issue is personal for her because her uncle died of AIDS and her family fostered a young girl who lived with the disdease.
She was recognized by Congress in 2007 for her work to bring instant-result HIV testing to her home state.
During the Miss Virginia pageant last year, Cameron was asked her opinion about gay marriage, the same issue Miss California Carrie Prejean was asked about during the Miss USA pageant two months earlier.
Cameron said she believed marriage should be between a man and woman because of her religious beliefs, but she didn't think there should be laws against gay marriage. [associated press]
