Crowning of first non-black Miss HU divides campus
- Thread starter JofromthaNO
- Start date
i missed them then
I don't see an argument here either...which is why I find the division the local newspaper and Twitter/Facebook heads talking of interesting...
She's a student, so we can't say, "No, you can't compete/take part in university events." If that was the case, people should have "hated" all the other non-black persons that attended Hampton, and the community, when I was there, was never like that
I'm guessing social media has allowed this to become more of a story than it really should be.
If this happened 10 yrs ago, there would be a lil gossip/ hate and maybe a 30 second spot on the local evening news...maybe. It would blow over after homecoming.
2009... it gets facebooked and twittered across the whole hbcu network. Thousands of people weigh in. Wouldnt be surprised if CNN picks it up within a week or two. They love gossipy divisive shit like this.
Now, how do we generate that same energy and debate around stuff that actually matters? Thats the question...
All the bitch's at HU are HO's. I used to run through bitch's all year and i did not even go there.
CO-SIGN!
I'm sorry that THAT was your experience with Hampton women...
I do believe that "hoes" can be found at any local college or institution, though
Dude, he just posted an article to start a discussion, did you read anything he said
And most HBCU's are already diverse. Most are around 5% to 15% non black.
'Plex... I did read fam, Jo said: "The argument is, can/should a woman who doesn't identify as black (and isn't black) represent an HBCU?"
I was just givin' my $0.02 on the "argument". She said on the first page that she didn't agree with the reverse discrimination, so I know she didn't disagree with me. I wasn't comin' at her like she was protesting ol' girl winning... if it came off that way, that wasn't my intent at all. I fux with Jo... she's our resident BGOL psychologist!
And as far as HBCUs being diverse already... 5% to 15% is a start, but I think if non-black students continue to participate more in activities other than class, and become more visible, (in athletics, the community, student government, etc.) that would start to change the perception, and possibly raise those percentages... which would be a good thing.
Again... just my $0.02
Who votes in the Miss HU queens? As a kid,I used to read Ebony Magazine and was surprised at how ugly most of the HBCU queens were.Is it an academic thing? Looks wise, the winner looks better than the other 3.The two on her right are ugly and the one on the left looks like she has a funny shape.In the grand scheme of things,the chicks should concentrate on stepping their game up whether than woried about holding back this chick.Just like the white valedictorian.Instead of trying to exclude him, they should just use him as motivation to do better themselves.

Oh yeah ... if she shouldn't run/compete, shouldn't they give her a discount on tuition?

How about instead of hoping for white students money, they work on getting more black kids to attend college?
Pageant is voted on by representatives of various orgs and businesses from the community and state, as well as campus offices...
I hear what you're saying, but that sort of behavior by post-adolescent women who are now in college doesn't seem to be far from the norm of what you would find even at a predominantly white institution...
All in all, every campus has it groups of college hoes
Basically, the question is should a white girl represent an HBCU?
A lot of people have been blowing this story up on Twitter and Facebook
Personally, hey, reverse discrimination is still discrimination...more power to her
Same thing I'm trippin' on fam... do they have to make it so obvious?
I mean... if she won fair and square, what's the big deal?
She can enroll, so she should have the opportunity to run for and win whatever she wants, regardless of her skin color... right?
C/S what everyone above said.
What the fuck do Black people want? We want diversity, we want the same opportunity as everyone else? Yet we don't want people to have equal opportunity with our shit? WTF? Welcome to diversity and true equality bitches... it works both ways. If this woman is paying to go to school there and meets the requirements to run... what the fuck is the problem? The hypocrisy of my people sometimes...
swear it makes me sick.
I know BGOL doesn't an issue with that. Hell, I bet the fam made up the majority of the judges. 
because the real HU is HOWARD UNIVERSITY!!!!!!!!!
Again, let's review the score from the Hampton/Howard game this weekend...
Hampton 37, Howard... 0
But, hey, it's all love
Word...they got the Sour Patch Faces going on for real.But it aint really nothing to holler about. I mean she was voted Ms. Hampton University for a reason right ?

Either way.........she's fine.

The "dirty" truth is, just as whites have done when in power, we LOVE to talk about liberty and equal rights, access, and "give me an opportunity", but get funny style when we have to "walk the walk" when we are the people in power. Prime example, just look at how the black community views gays.
What this really exposes is that white people may not be "evil" as these e-militants want you to believe, but there racism is just a manifestation of ignorance and not wanting to lose their privilege and entitlement, which is a human emotion more than anything.
Ok Now as a Hamptonian i can say this!!! I don't have a problem with a white Miss Hampton!! I have problem with the way she was chosen!! When i was at Hampton back in the 80's the students voted on Miss Hampton!! Now there letting a panel ... oh hell no!! Anyone can run but this chick was on the satellite campus in VA Beach... if the students had a vote she would of had to campaign on the main campus!! But since it was a panel of non students look what we have!! Now if she had been voted on by the student body everything would of been kool! So its not about her its about the process!! Now she was dead wrong about the letter to President Obama... thats just looks like a cheap publicity stunt!! She'd be better off if she just came outside the Union and interduced herself to the student body!! The President is not going nowhere near this one!!
Oh i can't wait till Homecoming Weekend this year!!!

Miss Hampton University charged with shoplifting
Miss Hampton University charged with shoplifting

HAMPTON -- Police say Miss Hampton University Javicia Walker shoplifted from an area store.
On April 19th, police officers say Javicia Walker shoplifted some items from an area Target. The charges against the business management major from Maryland first showed up in The Script, Hampton University's newspaper.
"I talked to her about it," said junior Rachel Spivey. "She says it wasn't true, so I don't know what happened, and how these rumors started, but I believe her."
Walker was crowned on September 28th, 2007, and is set to compete in the Miss Virginia pageant, the feeder into the Miss America pageant in late June.
On the day she was crowned, the outgoing Miss Hampton University, Rasheeda Waddell, had some words of advice for the junior, "I encourage her to make this year her own, because she's going to feel pressured to uphold the standards of being Miss Hampton.
Wednesday around campus, there were mixed feelings about Walker upholding the standards of the crown and the school.
"It puts a blemish on the school's name," said senior Ellaway Amiker. "She's a real good girl, but that's just an unacceptable act."
"It's bad," said Hampton University alum Joey Drayton. "But, everybody makes mistakes. So, I'm pretty sure she's learning from her mistakes."
Among Hampton students, there was a belief that Walker should get to keep her title and her chance to become Miss Virginia, but there was also the wondering of whether Walker's poise cracked just a little under the pressure of her duties.
"It's hard to believe that someone of that good character could do something like that," said Amiker.
Police say Walker was released from the store on a summons. She faces one count of larceny shoplifting.

Problem is you can't have selected outrage. if this is truly an issue it has to be addressed before a racial element is introduced. Like i said above, when you are in the dominant, you have to fair also.
Once again:
GET YO BROKE NON-PAYING ASS OFF THE BOARD. YO OPINION MEANS LESS THAN NOTHING BECAUSE YOU CAN'T SEE FIT TO DROP A MEASLY ASS $10 FOR A BOARD YOU OBVIOUSLY CAN'T LEAVE. TIME'S TICKING BITCH.
No selected OutRage Here!! I Could careless who Miss Hampton is!!! Again my problem is with the process!! The student Body should vote on Miss Hampton like it was done in the past!! Or have either the students select the final eight and a panel pick Miss Hampton or Vice Versa!! That way you would have to campaign on campus!!
I didn't attend an HBCU so forgive me for not giving a shit. If she's more qualified, she deserves to win. Half you rat bastards hate black women anyway, so why does it matter? You should be elated.
I have more of a problem of her being a commuter student than her being white.
She's not even a real student to speak on and represent Hampton IMO. You go to class in Va Beach and go home. You might have a few classes on the main campus, and you probably don't go to any university activities.
maybe. or maybe she's even more active in activities etc.
can you just go up & say you want to enter the contest? idk
Close
Fuck out of here. You looked at her nose and chose to compare based on THAT?
And damn, if this is the best Hampton U has to offer..... yech.
how can we discuss that argument until you definitively clear up the question about how the s/election is conducted?
