People need to get over it. she was the most qualified girl and this just shows that racism is still alive and well. What these students are claiming about how she doesnt represent them is the equivalent of me saying obama shouldnt be president because most of america is white. If a black girl won at a prodominately white school and it was a first, there would be a parade. double standard? hmmm wonder if this would have been a prodominately white school and a black girl won.

When Barak Obama was elected President all black people were walking a little taller the next day, but let a MINORITY (yes she is in an HBCU) be selected and we get up in arms. THE HIPOCRISY OF IT ALL!! Hampton you should be embarrassed. Don't let them put us back into the bottle we tried to keep this young lady in. Most Qualified is Most Qualified. Stop looking at the outside and start looking inward. You will grow up one day, and learn from whence you came...........

First of (OFF) Ms.Anonymous you need to check your spelling, there are a couple of words that are mispelled. Secondly I am Nikole’s friend ans (AND) I was at the pagent also. Why does someone always have to sing or dance why can’t it be any other talent such as the one Nikole did. (this should be a question mark not a period) And as for the letter to Mr. Obama I think it was apprpriate (please include vowels, the word is APPROPRIATE) and if you are feeling attacked you would have did the same thing. (No, home training teaches us better. There is a chain of command, you always start at the bottom) This is however a national event. It made national news. So why not address it. I am an African American and I attend an all white school William & Mary and I recieved (RECEIVED, i before e except after c!) the same comments from the students at my school dut (is this supposed to say but?) to the fact I was racially accepted (the remainder of this sentence makes no sense). I know how she feels and she has every right to feel this way. And as far as her dress is concerned it was worn as apart (this is not a compoud word in this case) of her style and culture (this should be the end of that last sentence...RUN ON) if you do your research on Guam and the big island you would know why she wore what she did. I think it was beautiful Also why do you have to be popular to win a title? Half the girls up there are because of one ting and one thing only!!!! (please elaborate sense you want to declare this as factual) Sorry she did not put herself out there like that…(how did they put themselves out there? OK let me spell check you since you want to put my classmates on blast.

Just like you said, if you don't know then don't comment. You don't know us so don't try to sit up here and VERIFY anything. Plus you sound really ignorant with the whole "why? because we're pretty?" statement. omg STFU…if she does a lot then why could not even one student verify that they had ever seen her before the day the contestants were revealed.

It's not that this young lady became the "first" non-African American homecoming queen of a HBCU. I think I have a problem moreso with the fact that it is alleged Ms. HU 2009 had no interaction with HU's actual campus life. How can you represent ANYTHING OR ANYONE if you have NO experience to share? I am an Alumni and current Grad student at an institution 3,000 miles away. I've never set foot on the campus, don't belong to any of the organizations and couldn't tell you if the student body is purple, pink or green. I therefore, wouldn't dare have the adacity to rob my peers (who have contributed a great deal more than I) of any such prestigious titles let alone, blame it on race. Yes, race did come into play after all the HBCU sisters thought, "hum, I live on/near campus, attend school functions, participate in school activities, am supportive of my peers, and they crown this young lady as if this is "American Idol." Somewhere down the line, either rules were considered or need to be reevaluated. I'd probably feel and look, for that matter, down right MAD if I gave it my all and all only to realize I could have taken online classes as a HU student and had a shot at becoming Ms. HU Homecoming Queen 2009. I'm sure if this young lady had a better presence on campus and with her peers, this wouldn't have exploded as it has. On the flip side, how dare she compare herself to our President. Bi-racial; yes. Hawaiian Native; yes. However, Mr. Obama EARNED his RIGHTFUL place within his environment as well as among his peers; whether he's accepted or not. This is the tie breaker that separates Ms. Churchhill from the President. Just my thoughts... Let’s be HONEST for a moment.

She does a lot of participation no one just doesn't pay her much attention. Just like she does not belong!!!!However I am Nikole's friend and I love her dearly. And I an Native American and I get negative comments and looks because of the way I look. People think I am biracial so they automatically start making negative comments toward us. Why because were pretty. If you take the time to look beyond our/her looks and stop thinking were stuck up and get to know her/us, you would have totally diffrent views.

White folks are just as ghetto if not more; just a bunch of sloppy drunk, white kids surviving on mommy and daddy's dollars. The Blacks girls look "okay" in the pic; White girl is somewhat manly looking so the competition was definitely less about looks, because I know there are Black girls who would physically out shine everyone in that picture. Either way it's 2009, racial difference should be embraced even at a HBCU. Congratulations to the manly looking white girl that won.
