The organizers have officially revoked the title and confirmed that such behavior has no place in the pageant. I never imagined this outcome was possible when I first started this, but you all proved that our standards for representation truly matter. Thank you for holding this situation to account.

Romaine Schotte this years winner of Miss Belgium. On one of her pictures on face book a friend of hers thought it proper to comment to the "nigger" crashing her photo, she the replied "I know"

I am truly stunned to see that five thousand people have joined this effort. This is entirely due to your collective refusal to look away from what happened. I never could have imagined this level of response when I first hit publish.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause. It is clear that I was not alone in how I felt about this situation. This momentum belongs entirely to you.

I am honestly overwhelmed by how many people have joined this cause since I started it. To reach that one thousand mark would show that this behavior is simply not acceptable to our community. If you can help us reach that goal it would be purely down to your collective effort.

Een miss België hoort geen dergelijke racistische uitspraken te doen, ze kent de man helemaal niet en voor hetzelfde geldt is de man onderweg naar zijn zieke vrouw of kind ? Leuk om dan als drol afgestempeld te worden, goed bezig "miss" België.
Indien een emoticon van een drol als verwijzing naar een zwarte medemens geen racisme is, wat is het dan wel? Humor? I didn't think so...Ontkronen dat domme wicht, en snel. Het is trouwens een regelrechte schande dat dit nog niet gebeurd is...
What a ridiculous comment of her. No one has the right to be so rude to other people. And the way she speaks on the tv show when they asked her about the comment: "I meant it in a positive way." How can you think of something like this in a positive way?!
Étant donné que je suis issue de la diversité.À mes yeux, la miss qui represente la Belgique doit avoir des valeurs,des manières de faire fédératrices/rassembleuses. Ce qui n'est pas le cas...Et ces explications confirment cette théorie...Bon vent à elle.
Dire qu'un emoticone de caca est quelque chose de positif quand on représente une personne c'est vraiment honteux .. Elle ne représente en rien la Belgique à part si on veut dire que la Belgique est soit un pays d'idiot soit un pays de raciste !

Afin que s'arrête ce racisme passif qui fait la honte de l'Humanité! Une miss, pour son rôle d'ambassadrice, doit posséder des qualités dignes pour faire véhiculer des valeurs humaines. Celle-ci ne mérite vraiment pas de représenter la Belgique !
