Crowning Of White Miss Hampton Causes Controversy, [Updated 10/12/09, 11:47 a.m.]

From The Daily Press

HAMPTON — The crowning of Hampton University’s first white Miss HU on Friday caused an uproar on campus, which prompted the winner to write a letter to President Obama.

Miss HU Nikole Churchill, a senior nursing major at the Virginia Beach campus, wrote to invite Obama to speak on campus about racial tolerance.

Churchill is a Hawaiian who was selected from among 10 contestants in the pageant, which included an evening gown, swimsuit, and talent competitions. As the winner, she will continue on to the 2010 Miss Virginia pageant.

Read Nikole Churchill’s Letter

To:

President Barack Obama

October 11, 2009

Aloha Mr. Obama!

My name is Nikole Churchill, a senior nursing major at Hampton University. This past Friday October 9, 2009, I was honored to be crowned Miss Hampton University 2009-2010. It truly was the best night of my life! With that being said, I am sad to say…… that my crowning was not widely accepted and many negative comments regarding my win have been shared throughout my campus.

It would be much easier to say that possibly some were not accepting of the news because I wasn’t the most qualified contestant; however, the true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African-American. Despite the unfortunate beliefs that some are saying I should not have won, I am desperately trying to focus on those who believe in me and support me and my goal to represent this beautiful, multicultural campus the very best way that I can. I would love your help!

I am hoping that perhaps you would be able to make an appearance to my campus, Hampton University, so that my fellow Hamptonians can stop focusing so much on the color of my skin and doubting my abilities to represent, but rather be proud of the changes our nation is making towards accepting diversity. People are even nicknaming me, “lil Obama” because of various reasons. This is truly an honor as well!

I am also from Hawaii (Wahiawa) and I am hoping that you can assist me in opening some closed minds and help share some aloha spirit throughout my campus. I feel as though you could relate to my situation, which is why I immediately wanted to contact you. I was interviewed last night at the HU vs. HU football game by news channel 13 and I mentioned how individuals such as you and myself are making changes in hopes people can stop placing so much focus on our skin color by letting that define what we can, cannot, should, and/or should not do. Dr. Harvey welcomed me last night to the family with open arms and I was beyond honored when he told me that he is behind me 100%. I am proud to represent Hampton University and I am so proud having you to represent our home, our country. Your support with my crowning as Miss Hampton University 2009-2010 would be graciously appreciated. Please reply, I will be looking forward to it!

-Nikole Churchill

    I’m confused; is the woman European or Hawaiian. There’s a big difference in the two. I can’t judge if the choice was fair unless we see the entire pagent. Did she look better in swimsuit, did she have the best talent, was her class standing and GPA better than the other runners-ups? If so, it shouldn’t be hard for the women to bring up their game and win it next time. If not, then what’s going on at Hampton? Is this just a way to get in the news with a little controversy? What say you Hampton?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/C4pricorn/ C4pricorn

    well if it was going only by looks, then looking at the top 5 she wins hands down cuz those other broads get 2 thumbs down.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Jack_Stephen1/ Jack_Stephen1

    those complaining aren’t lookin at the bigger picture. it’s good for the image of the school to appear diversive/open to all and not just blks; especially when all these HBCUs are hurting for $. if a predom wht school never had a blk win the crown, blks would complain about that…can’t have it both ways!

    i see some of these university/collge beauty queens in EBONY and i’d bet $ they must be the only contestant. these broads look like either monique the comedienne or frankie (K. cole’s mom).

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Luxurious_02/ Luxurious_02

    i can definitely understand why many people are reacting the way they are by a non-black winning at a HBCU, especially if it were a white girl. However, it would be wrong for me to make someone feel like their wrong ,as much as i would want to, when they’re not because of something like that. If you were black and were attending a predominately white or Hawaiian school and won in a pageant, would that be wrong? If they are able to attend the school, if they were able to enter the pageant, and if that makes it a possibility to win, then i don’t think that it should’ve even been that big of a surprise. But it was funny how she ran to Obama to complain because he’s half white and grew up in Hawaii.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Hellokitty111/ Hellokitty111

    Hmmmm i’m wondering what they were thinking inside their heads like they want to beat her down with their trophies. Is Hawaiian considered white? I mean if she accepted into the school there is no reason why she can’t compete. I’m not downing the other women and folks they aren’t all that ugly, i guess it all depends on what we see as far as the competition goes, we weren’t there.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/specialK717/ specialK717

    ok, let’s clear the air and talk about the facts…First, I am a student at Hampton University and the real issue here is not her race. First she is not an official student, she goes to a satellite school about 30mins away and the students here didn’t even vote for her and we don’t know her. Our main concern is: how is she going to represent us and she can’t even give a tour of our school or even sing our Alma Mater? No, we weren’t receptive of her when she won, which prompted her to pull the race card and eventually write Obama. I see in the letter that they call her little Obama, she is never on campus for us to even address her as such! So therefore, the position of being Miss Hampton University is to be the premier ambassador for Hampton University, there is no way that she can fulfill this when she never on campus.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/soveu34/ soveu34

    And she thinks Obama should waste his time on this nonsense because she’s feeling a little of reality that black women/men have felt throughout their lives being treated indifferent when they have made an honest achievement.

    She need to get over her fkn self and tell the whole truth I notice the newspaper is flaming the racism card too they barely mentioned that she’s not a physical student there.

    Has she not seen all the bs Obama is dealing with because he achieved the ultimate position he’s not whining about people not accepting him he’s dealing with it the best way he can.

    Did she see any of us sending letters to Dumazz Bush when the same is done to us and continues to be done nah handle it btch and stfu.

    I can’t stand beauty pageants anyway they are for superficial azzho’s my pov
    beauty is within thats all that counts

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Shamel_/ Shamel_

    specialK717, thank you for pointing out the FACTS. These articles are generally written with the intent of creating controversy and negative publicity. Bottom line is if this is a HBCU pageant it should have honored the title and conducted a pageant with all blacks. Furthermore, if this girl is not even a student of that campus how effective can she be at representing this school??? That is no different than taking courses online and saying you rep for that school (smh). How can she be the “face” of Hampton when NO ONE knows who she is (LMAO)?!? I also agree with soveu34…I am not feelin’ her trying to pull the race card either. She trying to get some sympathy…ahhhh, poor thing. Try being BLACK in America!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/gren1shaw2/ gren1shaw2

    She should’nt have won,diversity has’nt caused any good changes, and she sounds stupid asking obama to speak up for her while white people are trying to kill him for becoming pres. She should first talk to the racist rep. About what they are doing and hope to do about pres. Obama.she does she stand on the plans to kill obama for a job white racist believe he should’nt have because he’s black.let her do that first,then she can maybe look for some acceptance of her being crowned.

Since she wants to make this race related…did our black a.sses run to anyone for unfair treatment or not getting a job because of the color of our skin. “NO!” I know as strong as I am, I’ve learned to s.uck it up and dust myself off. Can’t be a tattle tail…grow up and get over it. You won so stop b.itching already. This goes back to Blacks never having shyt to themselves. Look at BET, the show is a joke. MTV at one point didn’t have a problem with keeping their shyt as white as possible. Now BP on some bullshyt….might as well change this website name to Muttbreedlovingplanet.com.

    Being honest and sorry to say she shouldnt have won. I dont think that she should have even participated in the competition. Yes she is a very pretty female but Hampton is black college. Why is it that white people have to take over everything we got and try to achieve. I would be mad if I lost to someone who doesnt fit the description. And then for her to write to Obama and for what???? Shes in college working on a degree Obama is trying to change the world that will sit in stone forever and a day. Shes crowned Miss HU for a year and its something to run and tell about. AND THANK YOU Specialk717 and letting us know whats what. shes a liar and a phony. Not the face of Hampton University. DETHRONE THIS CHICK!!!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/0VancouverHurts/ 0VancouverHurts

    @ marian_scooter were you on crack when you wrote that comment?

    I agree with soveu34. My first thought when reading this article was, who the hell does this girl think she is for writing a letter to the president? Obama has enough problems as is. Her wanting sympathy sickens me, get over it! Go talk to your school about how you feel not the freakin president!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Red_Clay_Chronicles/ Red_Clay_Chronicles

    Man, I swear there are some ignorant people in this world. Racist comments, disparaging remarks about this young lady…why? Because she won a pageant, at a school that is historically Black? Her mom’s Italian & her dad’s Guamanian, she was raised in Hawaii…apparently, she’s also a damn good candidate for Ms. Hampton. You can’t say that this young lady didn’t deserve to win, or needs to be disqualified from competition, just because she’s not Black…that’s discrimination. For so long, Black people have fought for equality, now Black people want to be intolerant of other ethnicities?? Also…for the young lady that mentioned that she goes to a satellite school 30 mins away…that makes her an “official student” of the university. When she graduates, her diploma will say Hampton University, same as yours. If going to a main campus were the only way to be classified as a student, nearly every major university in the country would see a dramatic change in their finances, and students @ U of Phoenix would be in a world of hurt. She’s on a Hampton U. campus in Va. Beach, it’s not like she’s taking online courses in some other state. For some odd reason, I believe that if this was a Black student, at a traditionally White university, Black people would be complaining about White racism….so why is racism against this young lady acceptable?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TMAC_35000/ TMAC_35000

    If she’s a student and was allowed to enter then she is worthy of being crowned the winner. She’s not that cute to me but they go buy more than beauty in beauty pageants so whatever.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/soveu34/ soveu34

    @Red, I dont care what color wins in a superficial beauty pageant, the idea is that she wants to use the race card, misinform others about the real reason the students are upset, attempt to throw the president into this nonsense pleaseeeeee.

    If he responds to this nonsense than I will surely be disappointed and have second thoughts about his intentions to help race relations in this country, because it certaintly shouldnt start with no college beauty pageant.

    If you havent noticed just because our president is black more and more non blacks have been using the race card and every chance they can to disrespect our president and the black culture and than have the nerves to tell some of us as blacks to get over slavery or forget the way some of us have been treated because its not racism well the same goes for them too. Those who have always had previleges handed to them without them having to lift their voices, rally, and hollar im human too wont ever understand what is like to deal with real racism. Just because my skin tone is different does not make me any any less a human being.

    The best joke ever Blacks are Racist uh ok run that by me again prejudice some maybe but not racist

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/be_my_subject/ be_my_subject

    Is it that serious to write obama.I think the people would respect her better if she herself called a conference to speak to her fellow hamptonians (as she put it).but if she was int the pageant then she does have the right to be ms hampton like it or not but she’s not cute lol

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/2daTopnonStop/ 2daTopnonStop

    Man, black folks can pretty petty and some damn hypocrites when they wanna be…She shouldn’t have won because… why? The color of her skin? I thought we wanted PEOPLE to be judged by the content of their character? Is she not a student there? If so why couldn’t she be a part of a beauty pagent?

    I guess Dr. Kings dream only applied to us colored folk, right?
    Ignorant as.ses…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CamuiMS/ CamuiMS

    Amen @ 2daTopnonStop & Red_Clay_Chronicles. If she is a student and pays tuition like everyone else then she has every much a right as the darkest black girl there. The other girls obviously must’ve needed to step up their A game.

    And if she is Guamanian and Italian that really doesn’t make her Caucasian does it? Not that it matters. When I looked at the picture I thought she was just really light. It’d be like some bitter black people to say ‘oh she only won because she bright” or some crap. I’ve heard crap like that all my life. sounds like a broken record that needs to be tossed.

    and @ be_my_subject if it is the case, talking to people like that won’t do a lick of good. They usually have their minds made up. She would do more good facing a brick wall and explaining her POV to the wall.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ladymizvee/ ladymizvee

    This burns me up. If a black student at a predominantly white university won a pageant at the campus, we’d cry foul if white students protested. But yet, a non-black woman wins Miss Hampton and the black students want to act like the racist white people we don’t want to be like? Get real, Hampton!

    White folks constantly slinging mud on us, and we want to be the nice ones. The only reason this country has never erupted into a race war is because blacks put up with so much of their sh*t until we still seem like slaves. If we started assaulting them all the time like the 60′s, coming on the radio like Limbaugh and throwing racial slurs their way, and do the sh*t they do, they would start another civil war. This girl here, boo f*ckin’ hoo. Life is hard. Get the f*ck over it. Blacks at predominently white schools catch hell all the time for sh*t…As if the President doesn’t have enough problems as it is. This is miniscule. *Yawn*

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/_Atiya_/ _Atiya_

    @ CamuiMS: Obviously you don’t read other posts…. Someone said she does not physically go to the school. So why should she be able to be crowned let alone run for Miss Hampton? Can you answer that? Probably not….

    I think this article should have been investigated first. It should have been weird that a Hawaiian would ask a half Black to come to the school to talk to blacks about racism. Mr. Obama isn’t even half Hawaiian. He’s half white…. He was just born in Hawaii…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/slice_8706/ slice_8706

    My best friends goes to Hampton,They found out who won at my house and their reaction was “Who the f**k is she!” and they told me that the reason ppl are upset is not due to the fact that she won and she isnt black, ppl are mad because she DOESNT GO TO THE SCHOOL!! she takes courses at a off campus location and no one knows who she is, or have seen her participate in any school functions, or fundraisers like all the other contestants have. None of the student body knew or saw her until the day of the pageant!!! Of course there are some ignorant ppl on that campus, But you wouldnt want someone representing you if you didnt know who the hell they were or what they stand for. The huge uproar that it caused at the school came from those she is suppose to represent. If by representing them is saying “That my crowning was not widely accepted and many negative comments regarding my win have been shared throughout my campus.The true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African-American.” If thats how you are suppose to represent a Black University, by calling the majority of the school population rasict then u shouldnt be Miss Hampton.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jazzpast/ jazzpast

    This is BS.

    Lets be real honest, she is not HAWAIIAN. If balck people in this country actually have some sense, real HAWAIIANS are black. Shes WHITE that grew up in the island, and if ya’ll dont know white people pretty much wiped out the original people of Hawaii.The ones that are still there are homeless and not living like the white folks that stole all the islands.
    Also, why do we have this entitlement regarding HBCU schools when in reality the people who keep those school going are the white folks.

    Like the two folks below said. . .YAWN!

    The only thing I can say is this.. Yesterday I was blogging about the comments made about that white boy making claim that Obama doesn’t deserve the Nobel Peace Prize. With that being said what’s the reason why she doesn’t deserve this agian?? I like to hear all actual facts before jumping on either side.. Is the girl a student or not?? If she attends the campus just like all the rest of the students then why would she not deserve it? If she doesn’t attend the campus then on that assumption I would have to say during on-line courses to me doesn’t contitute winning above the students who are actively on campus. Only reason I asked if she attends the school is because of the comment made by one of the others that their friends were upset because she doedn’t attend the school…..

    Maaaan…I aint tryna argue about black white and bout whether or not this girl regularly attends the school or not. All i know is…

    1. She was in the contest…so clearly she was eligible.

    and

    2. My girl looks RRRRRRRRRRRRREADY….and in the end pageants have never been about a whole lot more than looks anyway…and if I were to rank them by who I’d approach first based on looks….she’d be in the top 2.

    If people wanna complain…take it up with the people who make the rules for the pageant and stop hating on the girl. Otherwise better luck next year!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Eolufemi/ Eolufemi

    I’m not sure about the facts of this case. From what I hear, most people aren’t complaining about her race, as much as they are complaining about her not attending the school. As I don’t know her status as a student, I can only assume that if she wasn’t eligible to compete they would not have allowed her to compete in the first place.

    So I suggest folks calm down and give her the respect that she’s due as the winner of the pageant.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/redstl/ redstl

    I’m going to set the record straight. Now if she doesn’t physically attend the campus, that is one thing. Now obviously she was eligible and she was voted in. I can only determine that blacks put her in. If the white sister wants to do well by Hampton University and her community, giver her all the praise. Two, for the person that said she’s not Hawaiin,…she’s Hawaiin, just not Polynesian! Just like if you’re from Texas,..you’re a Texan! Get it togehter people! brandonrussell79@yahoo.com if you need to debate or agree with me!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/ASLgeek/ ASLgeek

    All I’m seeing is he said she said about her status at the school but even if she does attend an off campus location is she not still a student? So what about those students who go to UNC but don’t go to the Chapel Hill main campus? Does it mean that one of them would deserve to be Miss UNC any less? Same for any other school with multiple campuses. She may have some extenuating circ**stances that prevent her from attending the main campus.

    For the person who said she isn’t Hawaiian because she’s not black, she’s just a white girl who grew up in Hawaii… Isn’t that what mos Hawaiians are? People who grew up and/or born in Hawaii? It’s a state not a race or an ethnicity.

    If this is about not wanting White people to win Miss Hampton then don’t accept them in your school and kiss your federal funds buh bye! You can’t be willing to take their tuition money but also be willing to exclude them from campus activities. .Racism can both ways.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    If this is truly an argument, as the sis is stating in the letter she wrote to the President, it is a very weak one and has actually placed a very ugly disposition on her title already. Instead of her entertaining the race card after being so newly elected, why doesn’t she just and simply focus on some more positive issues right now. Her cry out to Obama to help her lick her scratches is a poor representation of her being voted in actually. All she has uncovered is her lack of strength in being a white, Hawaii or whatever her nationality is. Where is the strength in her being proud and confident in who SHE really is? It appears now that the judges may have actually made a bad decision in picking her as the winner. I will bet any amount of money that the publicity that she has received from her elect has opened up some pretty weak areas in her life and that she had not prepared for. Everyone in America is not ready for this multi-cultural dating and other things that have taken place. It is what it is but still factual. Everyone is not there yet.
    And it may (I don’t really know) be also that this college has always had a traditional woman of color representing them and this (yes) would have very well not have been (smae as this girl)..expected. It’s a shock to everyone involved right now. It’s just in different ways.
    I wish her luck but I will bet she steps down because she is too weak to fight this battle alone. She had to cry out to the President of the United States. Obama’s fight has been to get us to STAY in school and go back to school…Not to accept white beauty queens in a school. I really don’t think he has a whole lot of time to devote to this one right now. The war and our economy is far more important.
    And one more thing, why is she calling on a man who claims his heritage as BLACK anyway? Yes, he has white in his family but does she have blood of a mixed Afro-American cultural experience?
    Here we goooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    I am one of those people who i must say agree with those who dissapprove with her win, not because she is white , because she is not black . in my view Black people accomplishments are downplay ,dismissed by main stream america people we haven’t come that far. just think about it if a strive is made by one or a few blacks at something then the door is shut on the rest of us we have nothing of our own even though we have crated and put in so much , but more to the point is we have to start being exclusive just like every other ethic group(not race cause there is only one race the human one). we still don’t have enough attention brougth to our issue to have any workable solution , we don’t have an international voice meaning the rest of the world out side of america really don’t know or even know if we care about global concerns. what does this have to do with the Miss hampton crown , the basic truth is we have to stop trying to except all others until we learn to deal with ourselves!

    OKAY, NUMBER ONE, IF YOU ARE MODELING YOURSELF AFTER OUR DISTINGUISHED PRESIDENT OF OF THE UNITED STATES BARACK OBAMA, THEN GET A GRIP. DO YOU SEE THE CONTROVERY TRIALS AND TRIBULATIONS THAT HE OVERCAME TO GET WHERE HE IS TODAY FROM BIRTH TO NOW. IF YOU ARE INDEED USING HIM AS A ROLE MODEL THEN THE BEST THING FOR YOU TO DO IS OVERCOME THIS CONTROVERSY BY BECOMING THE ROLE MODEL THAT YOU WERE VOTED TO BE BY BEING THE BEST MISS HAMPTON REPRESENTATIVE THAT THEY EVER SAW NOT BY WORD BUT BY YOUR ACTIONS.
    NUMBER TWO, YOU ARE A SENIOR, YOU WILL BE OUT OF THERE BY NEXT YEAR, AND BY THE REWARDING CAREER THAT YOU HAVE CHOSEN YOU WILL BE ABLE TO COME BACK TO HAMPTON AFTER YOU ARE RICH AND FAMOUS AND HELP OTHERS JUST LIKE YOU TO OVERCOME. DON’T FORGET WHERE YOU CAME FROM AND GIVE BACK TO THAT COMMUNITY, AFTER ALL THEY HELPED YO TO PUT YOUR NAME ON THE MAP.
    NUMBER THREE HUMBLE YOURSELF AND YOU WILL BE LIFTED UP ABOVE THOSE NAYSAYERS AND NE’ER DO WELLS WHO CONTEND THAT YOU DO NOT MEET THE CRITERIUM TO REPRESENT THEM. YOU CAN SHOW THEM BETTER THAN YO CAN TELL THEM SO GET OVER YOURSELF BECAUSE YOUR WINNING IS WAY BIGGER THAN YOU AND YOUR FEELINGS.
    THE PEOPLE IN HAMPTON WILL COME AROUND JUST AS THESE PEOPLE IN THESE UNITED STATES WILL HAVE TO COME AROUND. HOW ABOUT THAT NOBEL PEACE PRIZE HONORING OUR PRESIDENT AT THE SAME TIME SHUTTING SOME PEOPLE MOUTHS ABOUT WHAT HE IS NOT DOING AND FOCUSING ON WHAT HE IS DOING. EVERYTHING HAPPENS FOR A REASON AND ONCE YOU FIGURE OUT THAT IT IS NOT ALWAYS ABOUT YOU, YOU WILL BE ABLE TO CONTINUE TO USE THIS CROWNING EVENT TO BECOME THE PERSON THAT GOD WANTS YOU TO BE. THINK ABOUT IT FOR A MINUTE AND THAT’S A RAP.

It is interesting that this is being played so hard on the race card in today’s society of ” equality for all”. The issue I see more here is that she is actually entertaining the weak minded as if they are children.
    She addresses the President stating that she wants him to quote,…….. “I am also from Hawaii (Wahiawa) and I am hoping that you can assist me in opening some closed minds and help share some aloha spirit throughout my campus. I feel as though you could relate to my situation, which is why I immediately wanted to contact you.”
    What is all of that really about? What the hell does “aloha spirit” have anything to do with a RACIAL issue?

    In my opinion, the judges vote needs a magnifying glass on this one.
    If she was THAT qualified, she would be addressing real issues and as the Bible contends, “Turning the other cheek.”
    She’s too weak to represent. Her player card about race is weak too.
    Wow!

    I see it like this, you won the title deal with the good and the bad BUT! don’t bring the president and the rest of the world into this! What you want to show blacks are racist too duh! This should have been handled by the school not the world! We endured over 500 years of critism, and you can’t take a year of it NO! she is not ready! If we complain were dumb n****rs but if others complain we understand, i was born and raised in the south i’ve been called everything in the book from n****r to black B”ch you have to fight your battles and move on! Stop feeling sorry for yourself, that’s weakness! Hold your head up, and carry this honour with dignity, grace and style!

    Stop the press! She had to know that there would be some on campus who would not accept her win as a non-African American female. We have historically black colleges for a reason, and one of which is to level the playing field, and to become conscious of one’s own culture. We are far from the promised land that doc. king dreamt of, and today it remains just that, a dream. Black wopmen have enough on their plate to deal with when black men are becoming extenct at the peak of their success, when they choose white women over beautiful black women.Therefore, it should not be a suprise, or an issue when they revolt against a white female once again stealing the spotlight where beauty should be commonly understood, and not a matter of politics. There is no such thing as reverse discrimination where African Americans are concerned..” we didn’t land on plymouth rock, plymouth rock landed on us.

    Obviously the people commenting on the on this article is not for the south. Well I am and I don’t approve of this.

    HBCU are a symbol of black pride and struugle. Hundreds of years ago WE were forbidden to learn anything prgressive let alone go to school. Black school who be burned down, but OUR people would rebuild their schools. Unlike today if white folks do something to US we just let it go because WE are to lazy to say anything or do anything.

    I know that white people are fund these colleges now because most of US don’t think education is the way to go. White folks make it look like we need them to survive and ya’ll just say “Okay MASTER, thank you MASTER, and what would WE do without you MASTER???” IT”S SICK

    It’s sad that WE can’t have nothing to OURselves. White folks have to take everything from US. Hampton needs a black queen how can she speak to that community(which I know is black). A queen should be an positive representation of the community and she can’t. KEEP IT BLACK.

    After reading most of these comments I find it ironic that not one that I’ve read addressed the real problem here. First of all, the school should have had clearly defined rules as to who is eligible to run for this position. Personally, considering the fact that she didn’t physically attend the University I don’t think she should have been eligible to run. Secondly, what does it say about the rest of the Black student population in this school? The fact that one off campus, non Black was even considered speaks volumes about the overall mentality of the University and it’s ability to prepare students of any color to compete in the real world. Thirdly, this student clearly isn’t ready for such a responsibility if her first thoughts are to reach out to the President for help in dealing with the opposition to her race. The bottomline is that we need to stop blaming and punishing the girl because it isn’t her fault for winning. It’s the Universities fault and the rest of the Black student body’s for making it possible.

    What we have here is loyalty issue. We seek HBCUs in order to escape the overt racist indignation of or white brothers and sisters. And here again our sisters, OUR SISTERS!!! have to endure yet another slap in the face at a place that is regarded as one of the bastions of OUR HERITAGE, ALL IN THE NAME OF GAINING ACCEPTANCE from a people that show no signs of reciprocating the effort the wasted in decision .When will our WOMEN,MOTHERS,SISTERS,AUNTS,GRANDMOTHERS,AND FRIEND, GET THEIR ..RESPECT..AND LOYALTY. I am Surrrrrrrre!!!!! that they have EARNED IT!!.

    Latest update:

    Her immediate and immature actions have already been been called by the university.

    Bad choice of representation. A simple turning the other cheek and simply standing tall would have worked. All of this negative publicity done again by a white woman playing a the race card and whining. You can’t have everything go your way sometimes.

    Here is her apology:

    In a statement available to the Daily Press today, Nikole Churchill, the reigning Miss Hampton, issued an apology to the Hampton University community:

    I am honored to be the winner of the Miss Hampton University Pageant that was held on Friday, October 9, 2009. On Sunday, October 11, 2009 I posted a letter to President Obama saying that my win was not widely accepted on campus. I have now come to regret writing this letter and disappointing the very students that I now represent. I took the comments of a few and blew it out of proportion. In reality, all comments that have been directed towards me and the reception I received at the Hampton University versus Howard University football game on Saturday, October 10, 2009 were genuinely supportive. Today, I met with student leaders and other elected student officials and they were also supportive. Hampton University has always promoted diversity. In fact Hampton University pioneered American Indian education and has embraced diversity since its inception. I truly apologize to all students, faculty, staff and alumni. It was absolutely not my intention to bring negative attention to the University. I deeply apologize for any misunderstandings that this may have caused and I look forward to working with my fellow students to promote the Hampton University legacy.

    Nikole Churchill

    Miss Hampton University 2009-2010

    We as black people need to quit b***hin. We can’t have it both ways. Get over it! I went to a HBCU and it is what it is. If white people were complaining were protesting that a black woman won at a predominatly white campus, we would be crying foul play. The judges were from that school and she won! She has a right to her crown. This a the part of my race that disturbs me. We want to cry racism when it happens to us. We turn around and do the exact same thing! Stop the madness!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/rochelle1210/ rochelle1210

    If that is the case, all HBCU’s schools should only let black people go to their schools. We want to be equal only when it is convenient for us. Our schools are great schools. Everyone that is not of our skin tone has the same views as racist people. You can not blame her for winning. Like I said, we can not discriminate against others because of their skin tone.

    if she is a student of Hampton, satellite campus or not, then she is eligible to run. I have to say though, out of the crop of girls up there, she is the best looking by far. surely they have better looking black women at hampton than those four.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MsMerising/ MsMerising

    From reading the comments it appears many folks seem to not have ingested one crucial point, that being that the young lady in question IS a student except at the SMALLER campus rather than the LARGER campus. You know, how like UC is a school with various campuses(UC Irvine, UCLA, UC Berkely, UC Santa Barbara)?

    Again, this young lady IS a student. She attends the SMALLER campus. She is ELIGIBLE to enter the competition let alone win it.

    It never ceases to amaze me how intolerant folks are. So what if it’s a HBCU? So what if a non-African American STUDENT won? If an African-American woman won a pageant at a traditionally ‘white school’ is that wrong? NO. However, we evidently have many people within the population who are one-sided. “It’s not okay for US to be discriminated against but I can hate or condemn you all day every day”.

    Nothing worst than a damn hypocrite…smh…

    I am also Glad that she won! Its another sign of barriers being broken. It doesn’t matter if she was on the main campus or a “Purple skinned” Online student. If she was enrolled at the institution and eligible to run, she had every right to. People we need to wake up…like Rochelle said, we try to play that one sided card, but racism is colorful, and doesn’t discriminate on who can be the victim is. She ran,she won…stop hating!

    Funny thing is that I wrote about a non black person entering and winning home coming queen at an HBCU, so called black beauty pageants and a black president in my book, “Self Judge Meant” in 2005. Now those and many other topics I wrote about are coming to pass. We cannot have it both ways. If you look at the golf teams at most of the HBCU’s you’ll find the teams are mostly non black american. President Obama won on change so we might as well accept it and be happy for the NEW Miss Hampton. Congratulations young lady.

    All wig head weaving wearin black women hate for a woman with NO wig to win anything especially if black women have on a white style wig….Black women have lost her idenity, And will hate on anyone with real long hair or a black women with longer hair wig on….They don’t want to have to compete with any women who are not black, because they will have to hot comb the mess out of there hair, then they are scared of rain or wig it up to compete with non black women, Then you have fake wanna be white women competing with non black women. Have a contest about natural women of color, then you will truly have a contest of beautiful women of color that No non black women could win. Stop that wig head Karen Brown of Yeadon look, And stop hatin on a women with real black or not winning a contest you are in.

    She was accepted at the College because she had the grades to get in. It’s not about color it’s about grace & poise. I’m sure the other young ladies had it but maybe she had more.

    If any of you posters were interested in the opinions if students that actually attend the school (instead of talking out your behinds)…you’d learn something new. Stop playing “captain save-a-Ho” and pay attention to the REAL criticism, the students didn’t want her cry baby ass to win because she has shown little interest in student affairs. Her poor sportmanship leaves a bad taste in peoples mouths as well.

    negros kill me…forever trying to protect white women. still thinking with that plantation mentality…bird-dog negros…

    did you even bother to research and find out the inside story…

    here’s a piece from one of the students:

    1) I think it’s hilarious they chose another student who isn’t Black to speak on the situation. The issue is not that this girl is not Black but that she doesn’t even attend the main campus but instead attends school in Virginia Beach at a satellite campus. There are so many rituals at HU that this particular woman has not been a part of and probably knows nothing of. How can you represent a University you have not fully been a part of? She hasn’t eaten in the cafeterias, hasn’t joined any of the organizations on campus, didn’t live in one of our freshman dorms, nothing. She CAN’T represent HU because she doesn’t even know what life is like at HU. I do like how everyone is making this about race though – it’s very simple minded and ignorant of her to think everyone is upset solely because she isn’t Black. Not only that, her statement saying how far we’ve come in terms of race and that race no longer matters proves she CANNOT relate to the majority of the student body at Hampton.

The one opportunity we do have to show our elegance, beauty, and poise no one will ever see. Because we have went fair. I love everyone the same as the Lord above has taught us all but wow how much will we give? I pray for equality every day; not to be judged by the color of our skin but the content of our character. But it seems we give give give and the one opportunity for one of our queens to live her life in the sun we must give again. I will support Ms. Hampton University that’s the right thing to do period, but I don’t like the way it looks for our queens to give one more thing. What’s next? How much is plenty?

    Multiculturalism is a way of the United States. Everyone is here. I would not expect a traditional all black school the select all black winners when there are other well qualified candidates. Tradition can survive-even with change. Write the President of the USA, why not? He’s the best. She should have asked from some support from the school before writing. Assuming she has something in common with the President is likely but cherry picking.

    Not only am I from the South but I am a alumnus of one of the H.B.C’s here. I find it rather disturbing that there is so much of an uproar about something as meager as this. I’m not mad at the young lady, she decided to give her tuition money to a black college (something that a lot of whites won’t do). If the college didn’t want her to win then she should not have been allow to compete. It’s comments like Tonya’s that reflect the underlying reverse racism that keeps a lot of black people from experiencing what this vast world has to offer. As a matter of fact, during my matriculation I witnessed goldigging females who were emulating European women and wearing gaudy label laden European apparel chase the guys who were in black Greek fraternities (that were started basically because some black guy was denied a membership) that had little to do with African culture (I know that some Alphas would disagree, yes I am aware of Tutankhamens mask….moving on) that drove cars…..made in EUROPE! I also had numerous teachers conduct lessons on how to look and act like a pre-programmed robot in (and I’ll quote one of them) a “white” world. To me college is college and for the most part they are ALL businesses that are a total rip-off and if you allow yourself to be limited by the lessons driven to you in the classroom then the reality that follows the commencement will be a total b***h……what I’m trying to say is some of you need to get your heads out of your arses and open up your mind! There were white people in the Civil rights struggle and there were white abolitionists and there were also black and Native American slaveholders (gasp!). People marched for equality and if anything some of you need to stop celebrating the King holiday if this type of thing is what makes your blood boil. She has a right to keep the crown just as much as some of you women have a right to get perms, fake body parts and such to “feel better about yourselves”. There are more pressing issues like that gang in L.A. that plotted to eradicate black people for instance!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/GalileoSmith/ GalileoSmith

    Pals,

    Here’s an opinion from a white guy. Take it for what it’s worth…

    First off, racism exists. No one is saying it doesn’t. However white people are not permitted have organizations that are designated as exclusive to white folks. Legally they can, but in the eyes of society, they can’t. Another words, if my grandmother started a “White Women’s Sewing Club”, she’d be run out of town as a racist. So far this type of “political incorrectness” has been aimed almost entirely at white folks, and probably for good reason. But the day is not far off when that’s going to have to change. In a multi-cultural, mult-racial society, we are all going to have to leave our personal comfort zone more and more often to allow others into our world.

    This beauty pageant winner had the courage to go outside of her comfort zone, and some judges has the courage to go outside of theirs. The end result was that a white condidate won a beauty contest at an historically black college. Like the election of a black President, it couldn’t have happened too soon.

    Your Friend,
    Galileo Smith

    So she won! — It’s interesting that she did. I’m a graduate of an HBCU and an HWCU. — My question is “If the majority of people on campus didn’t like it then WHO voted for her in enough numbers to win?”

    Especially over the Black candidates. Let the girl enjoy her win. It’s progress. Of a good kind.

    We go to so called “White” schools and get elected Miss UCLA, Miss Cornell, Miss Michigan State, Miss Oooky Fanuchee College or wahtever. Yet this girl comes to a “historically” Black school (meaning just that, “historically Black” — not a school only for Blacks) and a bunch of knuckleheads become upset that she was voted in by a majority of their fellow Blacks.

    Let’s see how they like it if Whites start to do the same to them at “historically” White schools. Worse yet, not hire them upon graduation because the company is “historically” White.

    Now I understand the history because I lived through it. We were not allowed at “their” schools so we founded our own. We layed EMOTIONAL claim to them and felt righteous in doing so. But that was 100+ years ago. We must release our victim mentality. Move forward. Whires felt that we should not be at their “historically White” schools were equally pissed when we were admitted and accepted in campus social. But should we respond as they did 50 to 100 years ago?

    There are (to my suprise) White AKA’s, QueDogs and Kappa Alpha Psi’s. Should we get upset about that too. This brings to mind the oft posed debate topic “Are HBCU’s Still Relevant in 2009?”.

    Besides … ironically, just like Black girls becoming Miss Whatever at White schools, this young lady was probably voted in because she was White in the first place. That’s because we are so flattered when Whites want to be around us (a slave remnant). besides, it shows your liberal/better side.

    I’m an African American, and I can truly say that black people are as racist as white folks. We are as intolerant as they are. I’m very disappointed at my race so much. We just need to get over this race sht already. The majority of black people must of voted for her. I went to a predominantly white University and was the homecoming king. I got nothing but love from everyone especially the chicks. I’m black but I can’t stand black people in general.

    It’s nice to read the responses and see that most everyone is on the same sheet of music. Heck, I was a founding member of the Alpha Phi chapter at my college, although it wasn’t an HBCU. The brothers and sisters were cool, the majority (white) were not so enlightened back in the early 1970s. But people have been doing this for a very long long time. I wasn’t nearly the first white Alpha by any means, even though we are far and few between. Its these kinds of acts between the races, the intermingling at a social level (beyond the inconsequential or trivial) that marks the real progress we make against racism. Here we meet one another on equal footing and allow ourselves to explore areas we might not ever open up to discuss otherwise, whether its a beauty pageant, pledging a frat and becoming a member of a stick, or just being at a pizza party or a concert together. I know much progress has been made at this level, because I’ve been in the middle of it for over 40 years. I have married black and fathered four chilren with this sister, to whom I been married for 31 years now. I look at the ease with which my children wander across racial lines and back, with very little trouble, we own a home in a mixed neighborhood and we all get along reasonably well. The two or three who don’t, just don’t, without any reference to race, they’re just private. Polite and courteous, but private. My kids have had more trouble with their fellow black peers for not being black enough, than they’ve ever had from any white or latino students. But even that’s changing from my oldest (now 30), and my youngest (now 12). She’s down with everyone. Anyway, it’s a shame we still have to have this sort of drama going on in 2009, what with a black president and all, but when you read our collective history back several thousand years, you see we have made considerable progress.

    Though it was not necessary for some to be negative towards Churchill for winning because she has as much right to win as anyone else who attends the school, writing to our president was totally unnecessary as he has his hands full with real issues. Some of the issues that are addressed with the President even during his public speakings and from the general public have never been addressed with any other president as if his being president is not taken seriously. To actually classify herself as wanting to see change as the same level of changes Obama has made and is making is inconceivable. To even suggest that Obama has time to go to a campus to promote diversity is like saying that he has all of this idle time and yet we expect so much of him. Simply ridiculous!

    And Keblethomas, you sound about as ignorant as they come. To actually state publicy that you’re Black, but do not like your own people in general is such an ignorant thing to say. Actually, it’s folks like you who do not or can not identify with your own race who suppress our people as a race. Do the African American race a favor and do not classify yourself as one of us because to you, black is just a color, a five letter word…you know nothing about your own people as a race. Even if you have ill feelings about some things African Americans do or have personally done to you, you should not ever publicly or privately speak in a negative context about your own people! How truly sad you are!!!

    The pageant was on OCT.9!!!! She wrote this letter on Oct.11!!!! She didnt even give the “Main” student body a chance to get to know her, she smiled in their face and called them racist the next morning!! It wouldnt be a so called uproar or even written as a blog about her winning if she didnt write a letter to Obama saying: “The true reason for the disapproval was because of the color of my skin. I am not African-American.” If thats how you are suppose to represent a Black University, by calling the majority of the school population racist,and at your first sign of adversity you show strong signs of being weak minded, and fragile then you are a miss representation of the women at that school and shoudnt be Miss Hampton not because she’s white but because of her post win actions. Im sorry, Obama sure as hell doesnt call those ppl with posters of him looking like hitler or looking like a skinny african racist, he stands strong and takes that s**t. Dont call him your role model just because it sounds good, if she learned anything from him it should of been stand strong and persevere.

    @Shakka, There’s one thing that makes your argument null and void, the simple fact that she was allowed to compete. If she was not qualified to win, then she should have not been allowed to enter the competition which obviously there is no rule stipulating that she needed to attend the main campus or eat in the cafeteria or join a club, take part in rituals, NOTHING!. They must have had the mentality of “Oh, she isn’t going to win, so who cares?” Well, she won, and now people care. Too late and too bad.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/candyg7/ candyg7

    I’m sorry but what? How would she have won if she did not garner the majority of votes from the very same student body she claims are against the win? Is this just a ploy to get the President to show up at their campus?

    “This year’s pageant was judged by five people, including two certified by the Miss Virginia competition, which leads to the Miss America pageant. The other judges were Joan Gentry, an HU counselor for freshman studies; Lorraine Bell, an HU music professor; and Henry Mills, a senior vice president at Old Point National Bank.”

    The student body didn’t vote for her. she was chosen by a panel of judges. Her race wasn’t the only thing that bothered some students. They were also upset because she didn’t attend the main campus of Hampton U. She attended classes at the school’s Virginia beach campus.

    I go to a mostly White college and we have a chance to vote for our own homecoming king and queen. So that’s unfair of the university to let a panel of judges to vote for something the student body had no control over. Also if it’s true that she called the student body racist and made other negative comments shows her true colors. Basically she has this attitude of I have something y’all want and I’ll shyt on y’all because you couldn’t get it this year.

    all you people who think Barack Obama has better things to do than worry about this issue you better think again. Here is a President who got involved in the professor Gates issue, Kayan West issue, and trying to lobby for the Olympics for his home town. This president worries about everthing but being a president.
    This is nothing more than a culture who wants there cake and eat it to. They cry about not being involved in things that are predomitely white but dont want whites involved with there events. The more i read stuff on this web site the more i wonder which side is realy more racist. I dont think black people as a whole are ever going to be happy here in america. We have a black President put there by a majority of whites. Some of the bestand most wealthiest athelets are black, hell Opra is a billionair and not because only black folks subscribr to magazines. I truey believe the black cuture has developed a parinoid mantality, kind of like dating a person who is jealous, it doesnt matter what you do they always find a reason to think you are doing something behind there back. Is it out there, absalutely, i just dont think it lingers around every corner but if your parinoid then you will find in everything you do.

    1st of all for all you stupid nuts, It’s a H-B-C-U. Historically Black University. NOT a regular one. This gurl with all due respect is extremely vacuous, which simply means shes stupid. How the hell is a Black college, predominantly Black, and supportive of BLACK, gonna be multicultural???? Confused confused confused. 2nd you stupid idiot, it’s NOT about skin color for all you ignorant punks. It’s about RACE, CULTURE (im sure you smart ppl have noticed super light and super dark Black ppl go there lol), and traditions.
    I sympathize with most Blacks on this issue that she shouldn’t have won. What the hell is a white girl doin’ at a college that’s for African Americans?? You think the HBCU founders said, “Hey. Lets create institutions that are for everyone and have lots of racial diversity.”
    No frankly i believe our Black princes and princesses need more social and educational help than any other race in America. 4real. Equal?? Dumb simple punk. WHY THE HELL SHOULD A HBCU ACCEPT WHITES, MEXICANS, ASIANS, and other races when they’re are all about EMPOWERING BLACKS IN AMERICA??? Apply that reasoning to some other type of college fools. Keepin’ it real, i see it as just another White tryin to take what we Blacks have. (Just like the 1st white Valedictorian or somethin’ at Morehouse i think). Everyone feels like celebrating when a White person goes to a place for Blacks, takes, and leaves. What about OUR ppl? Huh? A young white…*holding my tongue*…girl lol, wins a pageant over our own beautiful Black Queens. Great just what we need. Our women tryin’ their hardest to win a little fame and here’s WHITE Woman trying to take that too.

    Dude, we have truly overcome as african americans, I can not begin to let you know what our first effort was we elected a girl with no pigment(not really important) at some hbcu and now we are having the give yourself a pat on the back black people party. Hey, but the important things can wait you know like seeing to it that we have a better understanding of self, respect our culture, are working on building our family units, reducing the highschool drop out rate in our communities, reducing violence, are becoming less tolerance of that bs “dont snitch or your a btch” policy, enterpenuering, and focusing on better parenting in our communities anyways this was a test of the nation black broadcast we have nothing important to discuss except for this bs…

    It’s extremely funny to me that blacks constantly talk about whites being racists and yet, when I read through the majority of these comments, you are all being just as racist. Let’s not be hypocrites here, ok? Who cares if she won? The judges obviously felt that she deserved to win or she wouldn’t have. Also, to Tashina_Man and calmedcool… an HBCU is not exclusive to blacks. Historically Black College and University means exactly that… HISTORICALLY black; it was exclusively black at SOME POINT IN HISTORY. There is nothing stopping an HBCU from being slightly multicultural, morons.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/CutiPie70126/ CutiPie70126

    Wow, I have never read so many close minded replies in one post. These comments are racist and I am ashamed that more people do not realize this. Sure, HBCU are predominantly BLACK but there are still other races that attend. If that were the case, I would not be going LOUISIANA STATE UNIVERSITY (LSU) because it sure is a predominantly WHITE college, although it makes teh effort of calling it a “multicultural university”. This is 2009 not 1909. How can we overcome racism as a whole when we cannot conquer it within ourselves? We get so hung up on color, that we forget the more important things — Like what’s on the inside of a person.

    It just goes to show the ignorance of some people who criticize this young lady. Black Alumni do not support most of the HBCU’s financially so where to do you think the money comes from. Stop all this ignorance. Most of you work for a white owned company, pay rent/mortgage and that cell phone bill to a white owned company. Instead of criticizing this young lady why not spend more time raising your own children to be successful. Perhaps if more men took care of their children by paying child support and spending time with them and more women stopped letting different men in and out of your bedroom while your kids play video games then your girls may someday be homecoming queen or even president. It’s ridiculous. What are you going to say when the next Miss Black World turns out to be white. I’m sure most of you will have nightmares and picket signs. Reminds me of the 60′s.

    Realist-c, at least you spelled your name right because about every other word posted is INCORRECT as well as your theory about our president!! Obama is our president, but he is also still a man with a private life as well as his serving as our president. The issues that you mentioned his getting involved with are not in the same capacity as a white girl being crowned at a historically Black university. I truly and undeniably do not mind someone stating negative about the president because I know he can hold his own, but why do so many expect him to address so many issues no other president has? If you want to see change, then allow him to be a president and address the issues needing to be addressed so that we may see that change and stop expecting MORE simply because he’s African American. We are always expected to do more than other races just to be recognize as equal…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/vasco5/ vasco5

    you must understand there feelings first why they react that way,in this over populated world blacks have to work twice as hard to get recognition,and now with this they showing they frustration when it should have been better.most of the killing in minorities community happen because there are so bottled up in one one with other fighting for the same respect to show in education and creative works and they can’t show it in that way to survive and feel important they have to prove they are strong–now there’s many option in a wrong way than right way to prove your strong with lack of education that can get lost if there arn’t use immediatly,, and that’s when many got out of school,especailly if the school is not funded properly alot of them don’t ventured of in most minority community like most suburband school to experience and getting the drive that they’re welcome when many were before them because each race wants to survive to protect there image so, “a mind is a terrible thing to wast” now you see there’s no gaining unless remember:: black wallstreet if each race for there own all those stores own by so many different race would not survive,black ppl are the most open minded ppl in the world that see beyond racail colour.

    LOL StarrSantiago… Mrbluesays NOTHING, absolutely nothing! What rock did you crawl out from under? This is NOT about African American (AA) women hair requiring a hot comb or weave or whatever! You bout a silly one, aren’t you? Again, another Black person on a public site speaking negatively about his own race of people…how STUPID is that?! Everyone is talking about how they are shamed by their own race of people for opposing another race to be crowned at a historically Black university and how this infuriates them because it’s racist. I too am ashamed, but primarily about some of you degrading your own race and your pic identifies you as an AA…totally sad! You are speaking negatively, again publicly, about your mothers, sisters, and maybe daughters…what? So she won, I applaud her; she was out-voted and her fellow students felt at the time she deserved to win and maybe wanted to see change…NO problem! My only thing was why involve the president whenever there is a racial issue? He can not solve every racial issue and be everywhere at once; he is not God, only our president! No, mrbluesays, not all AA women are white women wannabe’s by far; some of us are proud to be a strong AA woman and we represent well so if you have come across a few who do not represent well, keep that to yourself, but also keep in mind that it may be YOU who causes a reflection which you do not want to see because I can only speak for me when I say, I like them educated, secure and proud of who they are and you do not sound like a proud Black man…sorry. So please, do not stereotype us and/or encourage myths about your own race of people…it just inevitably make you look extremely foolish. I am NOT anti-white or a racist by far, however I am a strong and proud AA woman!

To me she looks a hell of alot better than her competition too. How about Black folk start talking about these fools wearing their pants off their ass and these ghetto ass women trying to look so called MS. Becky or whoever Plies talking about.

Should they not allow minorities in?

    all this energy/time/brains put into hair & make-up but nothing is put into figuring out how to help/build up our communities and our youth. People are more concerned about black women winning a beauty pageant then having “bastard misfits” or having more love/respect for one another.
    Being a 19 year old and started a before/after-school (“safe haven” u can call it) for many youths on the south side of Chicago. We also do fundraisers and raise money for children in need to be able attend programs that keep them out of trouble. I was able to put some of my friends on and we tutor, we go on field trips, I just took my group to the soul circus, we went to the science museum yesterday. These are kids from ages 7-15 and its crazy how many of the older kids have never stepped inside a museum (i can go on forever). Now we are in the process of renting out a building or space somewhere because we’ve had over 100s of letters from parents donating and wanting to enroll their children.

    i can not understand why so many of you are against this young woman winning the contest.

    someone said that she does not deserve to win because she does not go to the main campus. how dumb is that reason. if she goes to an off campus, goes online, or goes to the main campus then she goes to HU. when she pays her tuition i bet it goes to HU, and when she graduates i bet it will say HU on the diploma.

    someone said that she should not have written a letter to the prez. i think she should have. the prez represents the dreams of sooo many people who died horribly so he could just have a chance just to run. all of those people who died had a dream of everyone in this country being equal. the civil rights movement was not all us. a lot of yall seem to forget that a lot of white people were killed on our behalf as well.

Why is it I cannot take my black girlfriend someplace where there are black guys without dirty looks and getting hated on ? There are a lot of insecure black people out there who still love to play the race card I guess. Obama got it and thats why he’s president.

    of course she has the right to win. people were probably upset because African American women are often passed over in the mainstream in terms of beauty. Yes there re plenty of famous black women that people think are beautiful, but overall the beauty of most “real-life” black women is ignored. That being said some people feel like out of all the places to ignore black beauty an HBCU would be the last place. I understand why people are upset, but it should have been more of a secret.Times are changing and I think HBCUs are trying to be more diverse, which means more things like this will probably happen. Again students there just probably feel like their space was invaded, like this was the one place we thought we had real chance (because @ other colleges only one of us would probably be included just as a token), and now you come along and take this too. I’m not taking sides because I do understand why the winner is upset and hurt though, let’s face it, it will sound bad if Hampton says, “Only African-American females allowed” If they did that, what happens when a mixed girl who looks white enters? However to be fair to HBCUS other schools have competions like this and exclude black people all the time, they’re just less direct with it. Truthfully if Hampton students/faculty really didn’t like this , then they should follow the examples of white colleges and keep their dislike on the dl and “discriminate” on the dl.

    She has every right to win. She is a student there, so she can represent the college. What if students at a traditionally white college got upset if a non-white student won?

    As a Grad/Professional student at HU, I wasn’t even aware of the elections until it appeared in the local news. What I am aware of, is an institution populated with students of various shades acting as if they are better than each other. This is my first opportunity attending an HBCU, and societal issues are now the least of my worry. We are not close to being a united people, so I’m sure it was easy for the young lady to win, considering the “black” females’ votes were probably so divided that their chances were limited. My hope is that when these younger individuals join the “real world”, and pursue their chosen professions, they will have grasped the concept that unity starts at home. Diversity is a great thing, but before it can be truly effective WE as a community have to respect each other. Hopefully, this will be an eye opener… “A divided group will always come last, even on your turf.” She won because she received the most votes…. Learning Opportunity…

    Urbane1968 said it, you took my thoughts and put them into the perfect words! Therefore we should not hate on her, she held her own and won, Congrats to her! PLUS you know if it there was a role reversal the NAACP would have been all over it and WE would have been hollering racism then…..

    This is pure craziness, we can say that a black woman can represent the United States of America, in the Miss America, and Miss Universe Pageants, and then turn right around and say that a non-black female can not reprensent Hampton University…..Thats Pure Racism being practiced by Black Students and Faculty of this Esteemed University.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/babytonnie/ babytonnie

    Racism is all about who has all the power, we may have a Black president in the white house, but face it, the Black community has a long way to go before it can claim the kind of institutionalized power that the white community has. So when people cry Racism from the black community I think it’s misguided because the Black community may feel the division but there isn’t much they can do as far as subjugating the rest of America is concerned. That being said I have no problem with this young lady winning her crown, she seemed to have done that fair and square. I can see that the people that posted their comments are “irked”, “ashamed” and “disgusted” by the Black students response but are you really surprised? Much as I advocate for equality even I know that racial tension and the after effects of segregation have not magically evaporated over time. Maybe in a few more years when Black men and women do not feel the need to lay claim to the little they feel they have because they have been freed from the institutionalized discrimination going on today they will be happy for another Nikole Churchill. Till then I hope we grow in to a people able to appreciate and tolerate change.

    Sad thing is are we really having this conversation? Isn”t there more important issues to deal with? We as a society are really lacking in the most important areas. Purple, Green, Yellow, Brown, White, Black, Orange, Blue, Red? I mean really? How is this advancement from the past? This is just food for thought if we put this energy into something positive don’t we realize that we would accomplish more? I just think this is sad to even be a topic in this day an age. Honestly I think it speaks loudly on how fixed some of us are with our mindstate. Lets keep moving forward with those who can work together for a common goal better life on earth for all who have enough sense to participate.

    Much Respect……

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Marie_____/ Marie_____

    I can see why people are upset. One poster was right about black people always coming to the defense of white people. Face it people. WE WILL NEVER BE EQUAL. NOT ON THIS SIDE OF THE WORLD. One time I thought things were changing for the better regarding racism. It’s not. We are not wanted here and you’re fooling yourself if you think we’ve overcome. It probably was ordered to let that girl win. WE ARE NOT IN CONTROL. Just ranting…….

    …I’m so disappointed in the black men here who talked about the black women being unattractive and the white girl beat them by looks alone. YOU CAN’T EVEN SEE THE FACIAL FEATURES OF THESE WOMEN CLEARLY. A BUNCH OF STILL-BRAINWASHED NEGROES. YOUR FACES ARE BLACK AND THE ONLY REASON WHY YOU THINK THE WHITE WOMAN LOOKS BETTER BECAUSE OF HER COMPLEXION AND HER HAIR, WHICH MAY BE FAKE ITSELF. I GUESS YOU GUYS FEEL THAT WHITE MEN LOOK BETTER THAN YOU BECAUSE OF THE COLOR OF HIS SKIN? CHECK YOURSELVES, SHAME ON YOU.

    IF YOU WERE NOT BORN A MALE, YOU TOO, WOULD HAVE BEEN A BLACK WOMAN. WE ARE ONE IN THE SAME.

    u idiots love to cry injustice about the simplest schitt….if she shouldnt have won, then they shouldnt allow any race except black to enroll. yall are so simple sometimes. what if some white kid wins top academic honor at an hbcu? then what, complain about another EARNED recognition? yall just remind me of some white people still bitter over Obama actually being our president, she’ll only have the honor for a year plus, she aint even white. the only thing to be disappointed about is how childish some people can be, grow up and move on u stupid monkeys.
    aside from all that, the competition is mainly brains and beauty, clearly she had one aspect wrapped up EASILY.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/LegendBlkOne/ LegendBlkOne

    Now i agree that her winning inside of an almost all out black school isn’t something we should be making so much of a deal about but seeing how you brainwashed negreos are defending her–As you guys are always on top of the line to defend a white person, is overwhelmingly hilarious.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Delite125/ Delite125

    Hampton University, WOW!!!!! Anyways if she was eligible to run then she is eligible to win. If the students had a problem with her possibly representing the university, they should have said something or protested BEFORE the pageant, not after she is crowned.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/048/ 048

    Why are we discussing this and making it national news. I’m sure there have been young black women who’ve won crowns at a historically white college/university in the past. Look at Vanessa Williams from the 1980′s, winning the crown”Miss America”. Congratulations Nikole Churchill on this individual blessing. As Americans we ought to be ashamed of ourselves for given this much hype and debate.

    Thats not the point white people control and win everything, my point of view is let us have something of our on (I’m not downing white people for going to HBCU cause as a student of NC A&T we have plenty. She should have known the pressure she was going to have if she won cause she is the first white female to win duh. Like obama first black president (not true learn your history) has so much pressure. How can you lead somebody when you don’t know them or really know what they been through or interest. I want some names and pictures of black females winning at majority white schools if there is any.

    I’m a white girl, and i hang around mostly black people, my husband is black so i don’t have anything negative to say about anyone but to me these black girls need to act like grown women here, obviously she won for a reason, may have been for her looks but it also could have been for her brains. Its just weird now that we have a black president and yes i voted for him but not just because hes black because he knows the best interest for our country, it seems like african american people think we have a black president that yall are undoubtly supposed to win everything and be on top, not saying anything racial but thats how it is. I don’t care if i’m better than the next person, i get along with everyone and the person that said that white people are the ones that are corupt in this nation you need to take a good look around you, black on black killing, so its not just white people, people need to move out of this racial oppression and move on, not all white people are this way.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    Somehow along the way of trying to be accepted, we started to believe giving White people our positions and titles would be the way to go. Even in the day to day I hear some White people use the word n*gga with their Black friends, and for those particular Black people they say they don’t mind. We have degraded ourselves to join hands with these people. I just don’t think that’s how you go about obtaining acceptance and for that matter if that’s the type of “acceptance” we really want.

    With that being said as long as this girl really deserved the title and they were not taking it away from an African American who righteously deserved it then I see no real problem.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/truthserumX/ truthserumX

    I also want to add that after all these years, slavery, civil rights, to HALF Black president, by now we should know that White people will NEVER EVER EVER understand what it feels like to endure the amount of racism we have. There is no need to even talk about it with them, they just don’t get it and I don’t think they even try. I think we need to set goals and work quietly and systematically towards them, converse amongst ourselves and keep them in the dark as much as possible. Until we can have a meeting of minds amongst us we cannot expect them to understand us.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/QT_PIE85/ QT_PIE85

    Thats the problem with alot of black people in America. We are so quick to discriminate. How in the world are we ever going to be able to move on in life if we stay bickering about small things? She won!!! Accept it. She didnt hae to go to Hampton, but she chose to go there, and with that being said she should be allowed the rights that all students are allowed. Stop being sore losers. A lot of black people are racist yet are quick to plug the race card anytime something doesn’t work in their favor. Congrats, to the winner and runner up. Her ethnicity shouldn’t play a part in whether or not she will represent her school properly.

    She won because she was judged and elected by a panel. She is a student at the school and participates in school functions. She represents the evolution of HBCU’s that are now inclusive and thought of as excellent institutions of “LEARNING”—note the learning part people whereas not too long ago, these schools were considered academically weak in mainstream society.

    To make her feel less deserving is an affront to the school and what it represents, OPPORTUNITY. Is there any difference as noted when a Black woman was crowned Ms. America or when a Black man was elected president of the US—All considered to be representative of the white American persona of the US?

    moniQTee stated: “THEY ALWAYS GIVING AWAYYYY AND LETTING IN!!” DAMM gurl…You sound just like those white bigots of the past and present…It’s a shame you’ve learned nothing along the way for if it were left up to people like you, we would surely still be living in the past and Blacks would have never made strides.

    It’s a shame all of the black men saying that she won hands down because she is better looking than the other contestants, when you can’t make out any of their features. Only thing you can see is that the white girl’s competitors are undoubtedly BLACK. These are exactly the problems that need to be fixed in OUR OWN community before we start trying to let others in. People acting like racism just up and disappeared, it exists and there’s a such thing as white privilege and whites benefitting in this country. What people don’t seem to get is that white people are a “conquering people”. They like to always dominate and like to be the center of attention and take over everything. To compare an HBCU (which was historically created to allow blacks into college, because they were not able to get into mainstream colleges) to any other kind of College or University is f**king retarded. You won’t hear of a blondie or white girl winning at an Asian or Indian contest, black people are so naive. They can’t see how white people run tests like this. How they will start out by letting a white woman win a black contest, it gets media attention and then whites will want to win Vice Presidency or Presidency of the school and if they don’t, they’ll get more media attention will put pressure on the schools to elect a new white President to prove their not racist. From there, it’s downhill and won’t be even considered a Black University. Wake up black people, you see how white people steal everything. This might seem minor but what it represents is something much larger. We don’t have to inclusive in OUR CULTURE to prove that we are not racist. And for her to write a letter to Barack Obama about this issue, this b***h needs to sit down somewhere. See, how she’s trying to MAKE Obama address the issue, because this is his “obligation” to America, because “we voted for you, black man”. I doubt she would’ve been writing letters to Bush or Clinton about the issue, but because Obama is black, it’s somehow his duty. It’s a sort of racism in itself that she thinks he’s going to address something so small, when he’s got a war, health care and economic issues to deal with. The nerve of these whiteys!!! Last time I checked, Italy was in Europe and if she’s got the phenotype of a white woman, that’s what she is. If it walks and quacks like a duck, you know the rest……..

    OK WITH THE BULLSHYT… WE ALL JUST SAW ON CNN HOW A MIXED COUPLE WAS DENIED MARRIAGE BECAUSE HE WAS BLACK AND SHE WAS WHITE & THIS IS ’09… YOU THINK A BLACK JUDGE DID THAT? OF COURSE HE’S WHITE.

    YA’LL STAY WITH THAT BULLSHYT… I’LL TEACH MY CHILDREN AND MY GRANDCHILDREN ABOUT THE BLACK PEOPLE WHO REFUSED TO HAVE THEIR OWN ANYTHING ALL IN THE NAME OF BLENDING AS TO FORGET WHERE THEY CAME FROM AND HOW THEY WENT EXTINCT.

    WHEN OUR NUMBERS ARE THIS SMALL, TRUST THAT IT’S OK TO HAVE YOU’RE OWN SHYT!

    HENCE… “CHINA TOWN” “LITTLE ITALY” “LITTLE GREECE” & “THE ENTIRE JEWISH COMMUNITY”

    I could of swore the contest was for Miss Hampton University not Ms. Historically Black U. I can understand were some would feel wronged but truthfully if shes a student at Hampton she has just as much right to compete and win as Blacks due at prodominetly white schools. She wasnt picked by just a panel of white Judges. These were blacks judges involved in picking the winner so this wasnt an act of racism. They obviously felt that she was the best Student to win the crown. If shes a student there she can represent Ms. Hampton. Just like a Black women can and should be allowed at a majority white school. Things in the world aint fair, even though were always getting the low end of the stick but this is a pageant not for Top level job for some corporation. I dont care what color she is, if shes a student at Hampton U she has the right to compete for Miss Hampton U.

    Ok my people, or excuse me, people of my race (I’m embarrassed to claim some of you as my people with your ignorant comments). Some of you on here are the reason why we as black people are fueled with so much god damn ignorance. How the hell are you going to deny someone a pageant crown because her of skin color. How backwards are you!? Please correct me if I’m wrong but I do believe this was a ‘Miss Hampton University Pageant’ and not a ‘Miss Black Woman Only of HU Pageant’. You ignorant and racist, yes, racist folks are no different than the KKK. Just like the KKK you are trying to oppress and deny this girl a title that she won fair and square on the premise that her skin tone is different than yours. Let me remind you of something, if you cut her I can guarantee you with a 100% of acuity she’ll bleed the same as you. Just imagine if the roles were reversed and black students in predominantly white universities (such as my alma mater the U of MD) denied us certain privileges or made a stink like you idiots are doing if a black person won a similar contest. We would be quick to pull the race card and cry out how we need equal rights and be ready to burn the university down. Well how about we practice some equal rights and better ourselves by not focusing all our energy on how the white man is trying to hold us down and just refocus our energy on becoming more educated and bettering ourselves.

    To Ms. Nikole Churchill congratulations to you!! You are gorgeous and deserve that title. I’m ecstatic you won!

    Hey there gotta be a first for everything. besides this is the year of change right? She got the talent which is what was judged. As long as they don’t do her like they did my daughter. The dropped the pageant all together cuz she won. There was a first gay soldier to speak out and say so. There was a first woman in Westward, there was a first Drill seargeant Black and a first woman and a first black woman. There was a first to dive there was a first to land on the moon. Someone gotta start somewhere. I move into all white neighborhoods for that reason. Somebody gotta make the first step. I moved into a town where I was the only black person for 45 miles. and only 3 phones in my neighborhood. The nearest town with Black people was Mineral wells. lol. Support the Change. It wasn’t a AKA contest, it was a school contest. the whole school. My daughter is Panamanian by the way. Its not about color or such, its about ability get the ility like the commercial says.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MEMYSELFANDI97/ MEMYSELFANDI97

    Ok..first of all, to Miss HU, I think she needs to MAN up and just deal with the criticism. I mean, congratulations to her and all that — but I don’t think it warranted a “pity” letter to PRESIDENT OBAMA. She should have known that there would be haters considering that Hampton University has a 96% African American population. She should have expected that when she put her name in the hat for this. So given that, I am assuming that the African American contestants felt like they were entitled to win. Just like Hilary Clinton and John McCain thought they were entitled to win the presidency because they were white. I will quote my daughters roommate here who attendS Appalachian State University where the student population is about 90% white. “She pays $13K a year to go to that school so she is entitled to everything that school has to offer”. Well, the same applies to this young lady. Just because she is not black, doesn’t mean she’s not entitled to run for Miss HU or any other office she has interest and will be of service. If she attends HU, that chick is paying over $15K a year to go there. I think she is entitled to run for MS HU if she wants. Apparently, HU thought enough of her to select her to represent the school. So don’t hate on the woman (but Ms. Hampton — if you want to represent the school, maybe you shouldn’t go crying to the president whining about not being accepted). If you are going to represent like you say, then do so by trying to make a positive change on welcoming diversity. This is the perfect opportunity for you to do so. It’s not up to President Obama to do that for you. You and the students at HU have to work together and do that yourselves.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MEMYSELFANDI97/ MEMYSELFANDI97

    I would just like to add that the crowned the first African-American Homecoming Queen this year at Appalachian State University (again, a population that is about 90% white). So, perhaps this is a start of a trend, where people are judged based on character and not the pigmentation of their skin. That can’t be a bad thing, right?

They probably thought they had it in the bag and came to the contest half stepping. She probably didn’t think she would will and came with her best game. So she won.

    I swear black people nowadays are more racist than any white person I know. I’m glad she won. So those losers can take their salty sore losing butts home and have some watermelon and chicken while they take those tracks out their heads.

Come on now, times are changing. The CIAA has a white school in our league, and everything’s wondeful since we’re the first HBCU league to have a white school (Chowan) as a member. If anything’s good happens for them, I’m happy for it. This is history, and we should appreciate it. Even though I’m black and came from, I see nothing wrong with it. This is a story for her to tell to her kids one day. If they hated on a white girl, chances are they’ll hate on a queen who’s Asian, Hispanic, or Indian. We got to stop and chill with that noise. She won it fair and square, so respect and appreciate her. She’s representing your school for crying out loud!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/EXPRESSINMYSELF/ EXPRESSINMYSELF

    I am calling all statistics class students to find the probability of her winning based on the number of students who voted, the number of black students who voted divided by the number of black students who ran and therein lies the answer to the the question how in the world did she win in a predominately black school. Then after you find the answer to that question then the second question is did you vote. If the answer is NO then please stop complaining.
    Obviously the number of students (non-Black) + black students was greater than the total number of students per black contestants who actually participated in the voting process divided by the total number of black contestants. Of course if you add these two totals to the total number of students who did not care until this particular non black candidate won and the total number of students who still don’t care then you will get the total number of students in the entire school. DUUUUUUUUUUH!

    i do wish my black people would stop being so racist also. It isn’t fair to degrade a WHOLE race. Some of you aren’t any better than the white man that degrades us or the hispanic that degrades an asain, or viceversa. Yes the history or our people and how they were treated was disgusting. But MLK Jr. (wanted us all to get along and be treated equally), Rosa Parks, Frederick Douglass, Homer Plessy,Harriet Tubman,Sojourner Truth, Medgar Evers (and more)—These people didn’t go through what they went through to complain/spend so much energy and something that is least of our worries (a black woman winning a beauty pageant?). I understand that you can look at it as a form of racism, but why is everybody so shocked? Racism isn’t going anywhere. What racist whites are doing isn’t holding us back. Its us and how we eat up everything that they throw at us and tear our OWN selves down. The fact that black women didnt win the pageant seems to be an abomination for some but the fact that THESE DAYS the conditions of our people are because of US (BLACKS) is ok with people. We have to build a better profile for ourselves as a whole before we demand thrive in anything. I don’t understand why everybody (in the article & on this post) are so focused on something they know isn’t going anywhere (Racism). How can people be so willing to get their voices heard and to unite over this matter but aren’t willing to take control of our own communities and education. Me personally I can care less if a black woman wins a beauty pageant. There is nothing REAL about those stupid things anyways. It doesn’t teach intelligence, hard work, or TRUE beauty. It teaches women to do exactly what everybody is against (which is…relying on FAKE beauty to get where/what u want).

    those whites that were racist back then and those whites that are racist today are evil…. but so are the blacks that buy/sell drugs to each other, so are the blacks that kill each other, so are the ones that use our history to act childish/immature, and so are the ones that dont practice what they teach. Before people (especially on here) degrade a whole other race..get up and do something for yours (back then slaves and blacks that were waaaay more deprived then us did it before…whats our excuse today?). Our history wasn’t set to use it as an excuse to fill ourselves up with hatred and build more boundaries between each other, but to use it to be role models and show that hate cannot break us.

    I have to agree with the ladies in the interview that the letter to the White House was unnecessary. Queen Hampton must have known before she signed up to run that it was going to create some controversey. Now it’s like she saying, “Woe is me! All these black people are being mean to me.” “Waaah!” If she’s got a victim mentality, then everyone is at risk in being brought up on fictious charges for something. No house party invites for this publicity seeker. Brothas she ain’t mentally fit to mount unless rape is what you wanna hear her shout. Now everyone please get back to your studies.

    Perhaps the students should change the contest name to Ms. Black Hampton and then there would be no mixing up the qualifications on who’s going to represent if they’re unhappy with the results. Beauty pagents are sexist. Why not get rid of the whole girly girl program and open it up to men, gays, lesbians, bi’s and trangenders.

No one is entitled to be superior to anyone in any way shape or form, furthermore are not entitled to being racist towards any one other than themselves..If someone does not succeed, they need to look w/in themselves and look at what they have done better. YES there are ignorant ppl out there (gov, police, teachers,every day to day ppl) who try for others to not succeed but when you DONT succeed you prove them right, you give them power. Complaining, winning, and crying about it, also gives them power.

    No daggers just my opinion, you got yours and you throwing it around in what seem like a blind rage. I support anyone who has a passion for self empowerment such as yourself, but I can also peacefully disagree with you. I don’t have to call you out your name to do that black Man. If you don’t agree with me, cool but I don’t need to verbally attack you to make MY point. All I was trying to say is education is never effective when all you do is shove it down people throats.

    …and Malcolm also said:

    “…as racism leads America up the suicide path…that the whites of the younger generation…will see the handwriting on the walls and many of them will turn to the spiritual path of truth — the only way left to America to ward off the disaster that racism inevitably must lead to.”

    does this statement make Malcolm a “dumb azz negropean?”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/maatra/ maatra

    Malcolm x wen he went o mecca said that he didnt see racism there. Dr khalid said that racsism was so thick u could cut the word in the air.

    Wen the moors ruled the iberian penninsula we didnt treat white folks they way they treat us today

    OMG!!! Blague_Ivory you are soooo on point love…..Quote:”It’s a shame all of the black men saying that she won hands down because she is better looking than the other contestants, when you can’t make out any of their features. Only thing you can see is that the white girl’s competitors are undoubtedly BLACK. These are exactly the problems that need to be fixed in OUR OWN community before we start trying to let others in. People acting like racism just up and disappeared, it exists and there’s a such thing as white privilege and whites benefitting in this country. What people don’t seem to get is that white people are a “conquering people”. They like to always dominate and like to be the center of attention and take over everything. To compare an HBCU (which was historically created to allow blacks into college, because they were not able to get into mainstream colleges) to any other kind of College or University is f**king retarded. You won’t hear of a blondie or white girl winning at an Asian or Indian contest, black people are so naive. They can’t see how white people run tests like this. How they will start out by letting a white woman win a black contest, it gets media attention and then whites will want to win Vice Presidency or Presidency of the school and if they don’t, they’ll get more media attention will put pressure on the schools to elect a new white President to prove their not racist. From there, it’s downhill and won’t be even considered a Black University. Wake up black people, you see how white people steal everything. This might seem minor but what it represents is something much larger. We don’t have to inclusive in OUR CULTURE to prove that we are not racist. And for her to write a letter to Barack Obama about this issue, this b***h needs to sit down somewhere. See, how she’s trying to MAKE Obama address the issue, because this is his “obligation” to America, because “we voted for you, black man”. I doubt she would’ve been writing letters to Bush or Clinton about the issue, but because Obama is black, it’s somehow his duty. It’s a sort of racism in itself that she thinks he’s going to address something so small, when he’s got a war, health care and economic issues to deal with. The nerve of these whiteys!!! Last time I checked, Italy was in Europe and if she’s got the phenotype of a white woman, that’s what she is. If it walks and quacks like a duck, you know the rest……..”..Now this is what it is really about..WOW!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/verlgurl/ verlgurl

    Whats the big deal? If she pays tuition and is a student I dont see what the big deal is? Just reverse discrimination, how wierd that people that hate to be discriminated against are now playing the skin card. We are only a few percentage points different genetically. Our skin and looks are adaptations to the environments our ancestors grew up in. Now ya know how all those white players feel when they are beat my minorities teams or players. Skin does not make everything obviously she was qualified enough to beat out the other contestants. But she didnt need to send a letter and all this for what? lets talk about some real news like the actual education that these students need!!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/missstrings43/ missstrings43

    The big deal is to actually READ the article….. she was NOT a full time student at the university and she was allowed to participate..the BIG DEAL is it is a black tradition at this university. The BIG DEAL is there is that this university can no longer hold it’s title for being a black university of beautiful BLACK Afro-American QUEENS at this campus…That is the BIG DEAL!I do not see any type of discrimination here…HOW!???!!! She won! Dam!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/tester02isback/ tester02isback

    So what? As far at the letter goes, that was a b***h move. But she won. Just deal and move on. If her status was in any way a violation of the rules, whatever they are, then she should be stripped of the title. Otherwise, build a bridge and move on.

    Besides, this isn’t and won’t be the first time a non-white wins Ms HBCU campus (See WVSU and Bluefield State).

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/drkchokolate_10/ drkchokolate_10

    I am LMAO because most of us as black people don’t understand that when you take all of this so called money from these businesses and the government(white people) you have to play by their rules. The reason most of you are upset is that you keep thinging the closer you get to whitey,that makes you more acceptable.Sure you have black faces in positions of authority but no real authority. Just like I am sure some of you think that just because President Obama is in office the he is actually running the country. Tsk Tsk it is the International Bankers, ie your Rothschilds,Bildenburgers,Queen of England,etc. I know some of you will be mad with my post but oh well,it’s time we stop living in the damn dark and find out what’s really going on in the world.Peace

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/kionalove1982/ kionalove1982

    Ok drkchokolate_10 you actually know whats going on. I havent read any of the other comments, yours was actually the first. However you hit the nail on the head. Soooo many people, doesnt matter the race really think our government gives two cents about us and they dont! They dont run anything but their mouths! Furthermore, these same international bankers are into some dark evil stuff. They control our politics, religion, media, news, music, movies, etc. So when everybody running around rapping, singing, and dancing the same its a reason! These artists yall listening to are apart of secrect societies.Oh its gets deep. Lil Wayne, Kanye, Riahanna, Jay Z, Beyonce, Lady Gaga, Britney Spears, and anybody else that has millions and influence on people have sold their soul for fame and riches. Check out a youtube series called The Arrivals. Unlearn.

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Ti__/ Ti__

    woow, racism in these comments run deep, and most of it based on ignorance or statements that was made from another generation when society was different, I’d say most people are held back and down by their narrowminded opinions, its just sad….

    cudos to Entreprenigro, blacksmith858, verlgurl and a few others that see through this double standard view of racism!

    even tho I have to say I personally dont agree with namecalling etc, we are all grown and should be able to air opinions without going to the extrem…

    i always enjoy reading what maatra has to say…its always nice to see at least one black man support black women…say what you want, but im sick of seeing black men so quick to come to the defense of white women…

    i would never feel pity for a white person crying discrimination…when too many black people go through it everyday.

    so let me get this straight…she wins the competition at a BLACK college…ok. but that is not enough for her is it. it never is enough for them…whatever…

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/TakenStepsForward/ TakenStepsForward

    Nothings wrong with her winning miss hu. She attends the school like anyone else despite the color of her skin. If you want to be mad at someone be mad at the people who attend the school because im sure they had say so in who picked the winner. Embrace her winning and get off the bs. If you try to bring her down and she represents the school, what is that saying about the people who attends the school? people have to think before they act! As for obama the letter was a nice and well put together one but im sure he has bigger issues. Maybe he will try to show up, who knows, since they like to make public apperances! Hope for the best girly!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/MyEyezAdoreU/ MyEyezAdoreU

    Didn’t whites vote for Obama? Is it OK only when the roles are reversed? Congrats to the winner, miss HU. The letter was uncalled for, surely the president has better things to do. Here’s an idea……why not write the same letter to the republican party?

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/mdorsey54/ mdorsey54

    Students at Hampton need to stop tripping and use this moment to grow. The young lady that was crowned queen surely didn’t elect herself and we as a people need to embrace our culture and the many hues of color we possess as well as the cultures and other peoples of color. At 55 years old I lived through the Civil rights era and find that we as a people haven’t grown. The subject of color amongst our own race is never a pleasant one. We need to rebuke discrimination. Grow up, people, because we need you to be the leaders of tomorrow and not the whining babies of today.

    well, SOMEBODY voted for her!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/7star7/ 7star7

    Might as well … Not mines as well.. Lol. I halfway agreed with the point that you tryed to prove twice until I realize that you were not able to use correct grammer so all and all that makes us as a people look really uneducated. The problem lies in us constantly opening our mouths… Battling not debating… Fighting not writing…. Note this quote* anger lowers the I.q.*. we spend to much time hating on others ….as well as ourselves. So as we are fightng ourselves and trying to fight, fight, fight .. Being loud and obnoxious … In an attempt to recieve attention.. They eat popcorn and laugh all the way to the bank and of course they say” hey .. That’s entertaining… We can make some serious capital off of these people” Look at it this way.. If we learned how to communicate without lowering our I.q.(anger) we could make a change. Change the way we react…and act(Action) ….and maybe they look at us as an easy target… Because while our communities are falling apart everyones looting from us… Lol. To Miss Hampton congrats!!! Wear that crown for the right reasons … And wear it proud! We all are one . One race in one place sharing space….. Focus people focus there’s a bigger threat right in front of us …. Please wake up and arm yourselves with knowledge…. Because soon color/ race will not matter we will have a new and very real enemy-7

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/SheShe88/ SheShe88

    I dont know if yall know this or not but black peole got some REAL HARD ISSUES to deal with other than who wins the crown ANYWAYS!
    We have chilren dying and girls getting pregnant like it a f*ckin cult. Children and in that state especially have problems turning fractions into decimals, do not know what an adverb was,didnt know what a “democratic party” was and dont know how many sex chromosomes are present in a sex cell AND THEY WERE IN a VA COLLEGE AND PRODUCTS OF a VA School Systems.
    Do NOT let this sh!t keep your focus off bigger problems because its not just “them”. We always have some bullsh!t on the news that only consist of “popularity contest” and make it the end of the world! Yay White GIrl! She didnt vote for her damn self so try next homecoming!

    But like i said, u give them white folks a reason to segregate us because we segregate ourselves.I would perfer to be “Miss America” than “Miss Black America”. so have fun with your small victory of batles because HBCU college credit arent even taken seriously if you tranfer so you alraedy know HBCUs are still a joke to other “people”

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/Chanel_Diamondz_08/ Chanel_Diamondz_08

    I think what alot of people outside of the HBCU ciruit fail to realize is The students had absolutely no say in who actually won, unlike crowing mss homecoming and stuff this pageant is acutally a real pageant that has a real panel of judges. THis isnt a real popularity contest in , “well i like her so il vote for her” . Also she isnt even a pyshical student ( like a student who physically goes to the school) she takes classes over the internet wtf lol

    Some of these attitudes will continue to keep racism alive and well! I doubt seriously that this 20-something young woman has been discriminating against blacks for centuries. Why would she even go to Hampton University if she had THAT issue? There appear to be many people who are trying to work together, but some attitudes will continue the divide unless there is a willingness on ALL sides to STOP generalizing!!! AND it looks like President Obama will be the commencement speaker this year!!! Woo hoo!!!

  • http://www.blackplanet.com/jaznae24/ jaznae24

    Its a college pageant so that means anyone who goes to school there can or should be able to compete in any activity. Racism will always exist in each race. If it was an all black event catoring to us then i can see why people would get mad but since its a school event then there is no reason for this nonsense. There is no such thing in my opinion a black school, a white school, a mexican school, and ect…. school is school. Yes there are places where one race may congegrate more than others, its a public place so anyone is allowed unless its a private event or private. The reality is there will always be ignorant people in this world. As a black woman, it is nice to have events that is specifically for us and by us but i also like to be cultured and be around and be part of multicultured events.
