Historical Black Colleges are some of the greatest places on earth for young black minds to become educated. When other colleges would not accept African-Americans or other minorities the historically black colleges or HBC was always there to help. HBCs have always been progressive and ahead of the curve in many ways, and thats why I wasnt surprised when I read reports and saw on CNN that many HBCs have been selecting white women to represent their college’s beauty in pageants.
This year several HBCs have selected a white woman as the winner of their annual campus beauty pageants. Including earlier in the year Kentucky State University and this year at Hampton University. Hampton U is known within the African-American community as having the best looking black women, and one of the best party schools in the nation, period. But are we really surprised that even the best looking young black women were no match for a white woman?
But of course there is tons of hypocrisy erupting over this. Some people (mostly black women) are angry a white woman would win at a HBC. Which makes no sense to me and is blatant racism, after all if a black woman had not won a beauty contest at a school for even a small amount say 10 years there would be an outcry of racism and unfairness via “the system.” Luckily Nikole Churchill the Hampton U student who broke the race barrier pleaded out to President Obama, and many statements flooded in from people of all races and ethnicities supporting Churchill. She is a hero, and I think this also shows how much our country is changing. Perhaps one day we will live in a world where white women will dominate even the minority beauty contests.
A great moment in white women history!
