White Homecoming Queen Catches Flak At Black University

October 17. 2009

Race Debate: White Beauty Queen at Black School Pens Plea to Obama

   

Nikole Churchill, won "Homecoming Queen" at the predominantly black university, Hampton University in Virginia, which is located in the Southern part of the United States. Her win divided the campus, as she is white.

She wrote to U.S. President, Barack Obama, regarding the situation, asking he visit the school to speak about diversity. She has since apologized for writing to President Obama.

I do not necessarily think it is a bad thing that she wrote to President Obama. It appears enough black people voted for her that she won "Homecoming Queen" - but clearly, some did not and are unhappy with her win, deeming as a white person, she does not accurately represent the predominantly black student body.

What if some started stating, America is predominantly white, which it is and as such, Obama as a black man, who won the election, does not accurately represent the nation (stop grinning Limbaugh).

It would not be fair to make such assumptions, based on President Obama's color and it is not fair to do so to Nikole Churchill either.

I don't know what some people are complaining about. Just wait until your student loans become due. Then you'll really have something to whine about.
