Racists Upset Over Minority Homecoming Winner

Written by , Posted in Identity Politics

Nikole Churchill is a minority at her school.  In today’s day and age, one would think that wouldn’t be a big deal, that there wouldn’t be a racist uproar if she won a beauty pageant and was named Homecoming Queen.  Clearly, one doesn’t study at the alter of identity politics.  You see, Nikole is a white student at a historically black college, so all bets are off:

Nikole Churchill, 22, won the contest at the college town in southern Virginia, but while she was all smiles, not everyone in the community was happy about the victory, the Times reports.

As well as the walkout, Miss Churchill had to contend with scowls, rather than the traditional sunny smiles, when she posed for a portrait with the runners up. All nine of the other contestants in the competition were black.

The following day Miss Churchill was heckled at a college football game and a previous Miss Hampton University said she was “very shocked” there was a white winner. “We’ve never had one before,” Patrece Parson said.

Ridiculous.
