Kalyn Chapman James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title, said on Sunday that she doesn't want to "feel this way," but finds it hard to be sad for the Dallas police officers and "can't help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr."
"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.
In response to AL.com about her Facebook post, James issued this message late Sunday night:
"My heart and my mind were conflicted because these are difficult and very emotional times for so many people. I went to church to address my feelings and deal with them from a perspective of forgiveness and love. Especially forgiving myself for feeling that way. I regret that any people lost their lives this week and I am saddened by all of the shootings that occurred. But, this is not about me. When reading about the killings of those black men, I was mortified by some of the comments about them. Many People were not conflicted at all about those deaths. Some were okay with this. These are raw wounds that are fresh and, while I apologize if I offended anyone, I cannot help the way I feel as I continue to process these events and deal with the flood of emotions that come from witnessing such atrocities - both against citizens and officers of the law. The fact that my opinion was considered newsworthy makes me feel like speaking up was exactly what I should do, because I can voice what so many people are feeling and dealing with and they should know they are not alone. I reiterate that I do not condone violence or killing at all. I offer my deepest condolences to all the families who lost their loved ones this week, including the officers in Dallas."
a moose and a hater
Title needs to be yanked and yanked fast.
She needs to meet the families of the officers that were killed, look in their eyes and see the hurt.
Hard to believe someone could have so much hate for people as this woman.
Pretty disgusting....
Does homely cover it?
She’s one sick puppy.
Strip her of the title, if they have the nerve to do it.
Is there a difference?
What do you think?
Correct headline reads:
First Black Miss Alabama: “I Don’t Feel Sad for the Officers that Lost Their Lives...Shooter was a Martyr.”
Many, many feel like her. The hate just isnt being concealed anymore.
No.
Alabama, you got
A weight on your shoulders
That’s breaking your back.
Your Cadillac
Has got a wheel in the ditch
And a wheel on the track...
That ugly thing won a beauty pageant?
We would never have heard of either of these two idiots.
Clue; BLM = low IQ low info crowd
“Kalyn Chapman James, the first African American to hold the Miss Alabama title, said on Sunday that she doesn’t want to “feel this way,” but finds it hard to be sad for the Dallas police officers and “can’t help but feeling like the shooter was a martyr.”
Easy to be bold when the President and half of Congress backs you up on it, I guess. Still finding it hard to believe she was a “Miss” anything but maybe Miss Stake.
Miss Alabama needs to talk to the black lady who was also shot during the Dallas siege and had a cop come over to protect her and her son.
She said she witnessed another cop being shot just in front of her, while this officer was protecting her.
