This is what we call a “target-rich” environment, but it’ll have to wait til late in the day!!!

If you have ever attended a majority White school, you would know that they would rather cut off their hand then[sic] to vote for a black young woman. The truth of the matter is that White folk look out for their own.

Sounding a bit racist, don't ya think?

Hmmmm....

[Dixie Yooper]

If she had written to President Clinton, he would have shown up last week, just to meet her in person and offer he a job...

[tet68]

Agreed. Abena needs to take a good hard look in a
mirror while she repeats that last paragraph.

I have 3 questions:
1) What is the current percentage of whites in America?
2) Who is the president?
3) Why do you persist in being such a dumb a$$?

“Sounding a bit racist, don't ya think?”

Any “all black” institution will have that problem. it's the culture. If you saw the photo of the winner and the runners up. Only One of the young ladies were smiling. The other two looked like...Well they were not happy. That's about the correct ratio.

[sionnsar]

first non-black homecoming queen and the second non-black homecoming queen of any historically black college or university.<.i>

Racist, racist, racist. There is absolutely no other word for it.

[Northern Yankee]

Isn't that something?

That they can't get beyond the race thing? As Christians we are taught to love each other. Apparently this doesn't seem to sink in with these unhappy girls.

[Northern Yankee]

Yep... infiltrate?

In the service we worked together as a team. We never looked upon race when getting the job done, or seeing who's got your back.

This mindless drivel she writes seeks to push race relations backwards not forwards. We are all Americans first and foremost!

Why is this nuckle head girl, Churchill, going to a black college???????????????????????????????????

[Lion Den Dan]

nuckle = knuckle

[R. Scott]

Hampton University has some good programs, particularly in the sciences. They also have some good scholarships to lure white students.

Why is this nuckle head girl, Churchill, going to a black college???????????????????????????????????

I would bet a dollar to donuts that her parents wanted her to go there so she could be exposed to diversity. Second choice, is that she, herself, has been led to believe in diversity and so chose that college to show how diverse she is.

[jiggyboy]

Well she misspells her name, you gots to give her props for dat.

“If you have ever attended a majority White school, you would know that they would rather cut off their hand then[sic] to vote for a black young woman. The truth of the matter is that White folk look out for their own.”

If that were true how does she explain affirmative action, multiculturalism, the civil war, etc. Minorities didn’t FORCE any of this, whites did this out of an attempt to help them at the expense of the majority. The fact is that white people look out for each other LESS than any other group.

[Northern Yankee]

Absolutely.

Can you imagine a Tennessee, Auburn, Kentucky, Purdue, Wisconsin, Northwestern or any other major college speaking out like this?!

Most sane people look upon the merits of the students for achievemnent rather than of the color of their skin.

Good grief!

[mewzilla]

I have a dream that my four little children will one day live in a nation where they will not be judged by the color of their skin but by the content of their character.

They wanted "change," now they got it, and they don't want it. Black peeps need to get their sh*t together. They want to join the world or keep on doing what they been doing all this time.
