By now we've all heard about Steve Harvey's BIG mistake announcing the winner of the Miss Universe 2015 Pageant last night. ICYMI, watch the video below:
Sooo, yeah...that was awkward as hell, not only for the contestants, but also for Steve. Now, because we live in such a hateful world, people are coming for Steve's head...like I literally just saw a comment on Twitter that said he should be killed. First of all, it ain't that damn serious, people. The man made a mistake...it happens. I will be the first to admit that by the time I even thought to watch the pageant, they were already down to the top five ladies, so there wasn't a whole lot of buzz about the pageant anyway...not on my social media timelines. When I saw this, sure I posted about it...I mean, they let Miss Colombia stand there basking in the glory of being crowned the winner for all that time, then they were like, "Oops, my bad..we're gonna need that crown back." Yeah, that was really bad, and I, along with other people commented on it. I felt bad for the actual winner having to stand there listening to the crowd booing at the fact that she was the real winner. But I didn't feel any hatred or animosity towards Steve Harvey. I watch his shows often, and while he can be a bit self-righteous sometimes, he's a good guy, and it was obvious he felt horrible about what happened. He even took to social media to apologize...but of course there are some people who still have an issue with that.
That they would rather have let Miss Colombia walk away with a crown and title that she didn't earn, rather than to have had Steve realize his mistake, and announce on live television that he'd made a mistake and let Miss Phillipines have her moment- which she deserved- says a lot about our society. Everybody wants something for nothing. Colombia, while beautiful, didn't wow me with her answers to her questions. Did you really listen to her (and the interpreters) answer when asked why she should be the next Miss Universe?
It wasn't great. But people don't care that the woman who deserved to win would have walked away last night in second place...as long as they got what they wanted, right? YOU people are why our society is so fucked up. Why so many kids walk around feeling entitled to things they haven't worked hard for, why Donald Trump seriously thinks he should be POTUS. That sense of entitlement has seriously needs to stop, like ASAP.
Now, y'all want Steve's head on a platter, and for what..because he made a mistake and apologized repeatedly for it? As usual, the cowardly internet racists and bullies have another reason to hide behind their phones and computers to make nasty comments (no surprise there) Like seriously, get over yourselves and shut the hell up because NOBODY cares about you. I'd bet all $20.00 in my bank account that none of you spewing off silly, immature, racist comments would ever say it to Steve's face (or any other black person for that matter). That says a hell of a lot more about your character than it does about his. And for those of you who think he's killed his career....please. This man is a brand, a mogul. He has hosted many shows (Showtime At The Apollo, multiple awards shows, Family Feud, his own talk show) Steve is not going anywhere anytime soon. He has shown that he is human and has a soul, unlike some of the people I've seen on social media. Someone with no soul would have walked away last night after realizing his mistake, and not said a word, to save face. You are the one's who should feel ashamed and embarrassed about this whole situation, not Steve. Check yourselves.
