Kalyn Chapman James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title, posted a tearful video on her Facebook page Sunday that says she doesn't want to "feel this way" but she finds it hard to be sad for the Dallas police officers and "can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr."
She later clarified her thoughts and expressed her condolences to the families of the slain officers in a statement to AL.com.
James, who was Miss Alabama in 1993 and attended the University of Alabama at Birmingham, and is now a TV host living in Miami. She is a native of Mobile.
She posted the more than two-minute Facebook Live video on her Facebook page Sunday afternoon. She was in a car and stated she had just left church.
"I don't want to feel this way" James states in the video. "I don't feel sad for the officers who lost their lives ... I know that's not really my heart. I value human life. And I want to feel sad for them but I can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr," she says in the video.
Wonder why she thinks someone cares what she thinks she’s a nobody of importance.
Bunch of stupid people chiming in on her FB page.
Disgraceful !
Brainless loser would be my title for this person.
That’s Miss Alabama? Are you kidding me? She must have some hidden charms.
she obviously doesn’t know what “martyr” means.
I can't help feeling that the first black miss Alabama got her title as a result of racial quotas/affirmative action rather than any merit she obviously doesn't posses.
This has to violate her title agreement.
The irony is that the police officers were not “uninvolved”. Actually they were involved with PROTECTING BLM protestors.
[It was from 1993.]
The Miss America Pageant system should strip this chick’s name from the history books. They do it for professional athletes. They should do it for professional beauty queens.
Correct. If I were the committee, I would be filing to take that crown away.
Ah, duh. ty
Better to hold your tongue and have people think you a fool than to open your mouth and remove all doubt.
been waiting for this crap.Especially after CNN’s trying to say the explosive take out of the scum bag was too much force.
Miss Alabama and CNN cause me to frigen gag
Take her crown at least
I wonder if she thinks this guys is a ‘martyr’ also:
She can’t resist opening her mouth and removing all doubt.
I have a strong suspicion that everyday blacks, even the ones that I deal with amicably everyday in my 50% minority City, which happens to be Mobile, feel this way. If I were totally honest I would say a belief not a suspicion. But somehow, so far, we generally get along with each other. But we also live in an “armed society is a polite society” part of the country.
