OSHKOSH - Miss Oshkosh 2011 has been stripped of her crown. Nineteen-year-old VeiJzahn Knight plead no contest to shoplifting this summer. Pageant officials took the title away soon after. It is the first time a Miss Oshkosh has ever lost the title. Clarence Knight describes the night his daughter won Miss Oshkosh as one of his proudest moments. “After she won it, I guess I was the happiest fellow on the planet,” said Clarence Knight. VeiJzahn Knight is the first black woman to win the Miss Oshkosh Pageant in its 47 years. She is now also the first Miss Oshkosh to lose her title. “The role of Miss Oshkosh or any local queen is as a role model in the individual community,” said Michael Schmal, Miss Wisconsin Field Director. Schmal says Knight lost that image when she shop lifted from Walmart. According to a police report, Knight was caught on camera taking more than $100 worth of cosmetics and Hello Kitty merchandise from the store last July. The report goes on to say Knight and a friend did it because "The idea was to see how much they could steal from the store." Schmal says Knight refused to retire the title willingly, and if the organization didn’t take the crown away from her, it could hurt the future of the pageant. “People begin to question the integrity of the program,” said Schmal. A decision Knight's father says he doesn't think was right. “I think it was to save face of the organization, they weren't thinking about this child,” said Clarence Knight. “I'm very disappointed but I still stand on the fact that I know I got a decent young lady. I know I raised her properly.” VeiJzahn Knight would not go on camera, but Clarence Knight says his daughter is sorry for what she did. “She's just as human as everybody else of making human mistakes. Meanwhile, pageant officials say they're sorry it came to this too, but the decision is final. “There's no animosity whatsoever. It's an unfortunate incident and it's time to move on, allow the community to heal, allow VeiJzahn to heal,” said Schmal. First runner-up Kelsey McDaniels has been named the new Miss Oshkosh. She is scheduled to be presented with her crown, sash and scholarship Oct. 25.

“People begin to question the integrity of the program,” said Schmal. A decision Knight's father says he doesn't think was right. “I think it was to save face of the organization, they weren't thinking about this child,” said Clarence Knight. “I'm very disappointed but I still stand on the fact that I know I got a decent young lady. I know I raised her properly.” And there you have the sense of entitlement and special privilege on display for all to see. And I have no doubt the father is serious when he says he raised her "right" because he himself was most likely raised to believe that nothing black people do wrong is their fault.
Stupid gum.
Break the Conventions - Keep the Commandments - G.K.Chesterson Translation: a chimp-out of epic proportions, complete with enough tears to float Noah's Ark. Evidently, she thought that the crown bestowed her with immunity to all consequences for one year.
Miss Oshkosh says: What you can expect from me • I know who I am. • Persistence always wins. • I’m not meant to fit in. I’m meant to stand out. • I want to experience it all. (Turn it loose mah sista!_HD) • You’ll need to keep up. The only photo I could find had her name misspelled. I can understand anyone misspelling VeiJzahn, but, "Knight" spelled "Kmight"?
...license to steal?? God bless.....
Translation: a chimp-out of epic proportions, complete with enough tears to float Noah's Ark. Evidently, she thought that the crown bestowed her with immunity to all consequences for one year. The quote that caught my eye was this one: “After she won it, I guess I was the happiest fellow on the planet,” said Clarence Knight. Now her daddy is either white or he's a black Republican. The ordinary, garden variety (chicken thieving) bruthas don't neva refer to themselves as a "fellow". A brutha would speak like Denzel in the film GLORY when he slurred, "It don't make no neva mind what happen tomorrow. "cause we men, ain't we? We men...."
Or maybe he's the token spear-chucker in a white bowling league and he's picked up on some of the white lingo, kind of like a parrot imitating humans?? :p
She showed her deep and sincere remorse by refusing to appear on camera and refusing to relinquish the title. She needed time to talk to every campus Marxist and legal aid rep to see if it could be some kind of civil rights violation if she was forced to step down. You know, they'd need to find thirty or forty white girls who were busted cold who weren't stripped of the title to make the case... Good luck with that.... I suppose she thought her title was like being President for Life of Uganda, Zimbabwe, Haiti, The US....oh, wait.

lol
