No word whether Howard University or Florida A&M have become tolerant enough to crown a white homecoming queen.

Maybe a transgender football player to really slam their new diversity home?

I sure hope the Homecoming float has reinforced steel propping it up.
If not, we might get a “Carrie” moment.

Here's the defeated runner-up, Ashleigh Davis.
I think the AA student body just wanted to give the finger to Ole Miss.

I want to believe this was done with the highest and purest of motives; so why do I have the nagging suspicion that it actually was either a lark by a bunch of lackadaisical students....or worse yet, the same kind of insane do-gooder crap that resulted in the post turtle occupying the White Hut right now. It could even be something else, but lacking a photo of the runner-up......
