From what I hear, they are like those Haliwa girls around Hollister [up near Medoc Mountain, near the VA border & Lake Gaston].
When I was single and used to go out to bars a lot, you'd see some of them around.

I once saw a guy get beat like a rented mule by two of 'em at once, outside a club. Unreal!

Man, she's a real catch. I bet her new hubby is SO proud.

Someone correct me if I'm wrong (an unnecessary admonition on this forum!), but I believe UNC-Pembroke is the only state-supported "historically Native American") college in the U.S. It was founded specifically as an "Indian" school, just as Winston-Salem State, North Carolina Central, and other state colleges were founded as "black" colleges. They are now all nominally integrated (significantly so in the case of some graduate programs, as NCCU's law school).

For readers who don't know, Pembroke is located in Robeson County, which has a large concentration of the controversial Lumbee Tribe (controversial in terms of their origins, their "legitamacy" as a bona fide tribe deserving a seperate identity, and even with regard to their ethnic "purity" -- some Lumbees have blue eyes).

When you rope yourself a filly like this, you've got a right to be proud!

I think the prior Miss NC had her crown revoked as well. Something about her ex-boyfriend had pictures of her in the buff.

[Constitution Day]

It's definitely the only "historically Native American" college in NC, but I think there are others out west.

[Constitution Day]

Yep, it was Rebekah Revels. I think she was also from this area.

The woman in this story only ran for Miss NC; she was Miss University of North Carolina at Pembroke.

I think I'd better get a 2nd cup of coffee before posting anything else. I wonder what I said in that gay marriage thread?

[Constitution Day]

LMAO! I think I need one as well.

Especially those Locklears.......

Aja Locklear,

Someone's parents liked Steely Dan.

[Constitution Day]

That's the very first thing I thought when I saw the name.

For those who may not know, Robeson County is where they surrounded a KKK rally with pickup trucks and shotguns and ran the Klan out. That was in the late 50's/early 60's.

Used to live in that area (Little burg called Littleton) back in the Mid 80's, and I can honestly say some of my best popcorn moments were watching the women kick the living cr*p out of a boyfriend/Husband because he stayed at the bar too long or gave another woman "That look" :) Sometimes I miss the 80's, LOL.
