HAMPTON - Hampton University crowned its first non-black Miss HU Friday, leading to a division on campus that prompted her to write President Barack Obama.
Nikole Churchill, 22, competed against nine black students in the 15th annual Miss HU scholarship pageant. The senior nursing major attends the Virginia Beach campus and is the competition's first non-black winner, according to executive pageant director Shelia J. Maye.
Churchill, who is from Hawaii, wrote Obama on Sunday to tell him that her crowning was met with negative comments because of her skin color. She invited him to visit HU and speak about racial tolerance.

I think if you did a survey in this country on who is the most racist, you would find the blacks win by 99%
These folks who are always screaming “Racist” need to check out their mirror.
What is wrong with these racists.

Perhaps. Although to be fair, any snapshot only captures a microsecond of emotion and they may have been smiling a majority of the time (even if it’s a forced smile) during this ceremony but not at that instance. In that case, the photographer should have released a better picture if there were better pictures available.
The one in the pink has a pretty smile.
Oh for crap sakes, as my cousin would say. What the he**..the nation got it’s first black Resident, so why the fuss over some university getting it’s first white queen. Sheesh,,we are all about to be taxed into poverty and this is all they can worry about?Bah humbug..
