It started when a Latina got crowned Black Queen in a predominantly Black School where a Black man got crowned Black King.
And long behold Black Women are asking for segregation.
Latina Student Becomes Miss Coppin State, But Faces Backlash From Critics
Keylin Perez ran unchallenged for the title at the HBCU.
“It was a mixture of me ‘invading their space,’ ‘How did Coppin allow this to happen?’ and that they are ‘confused,’ and ‘Black people can never have anything,’” she told the Banner.
“I knew that it would happen when I first decided to run,” she added. “I knew it might take this route. I just tried to remain focused on what I have done for the university. It makes me feel better.”
Perez, whose parents are originally from Guatemala, also said she has never considered stepping down as Miss Coppin State. She also praises the HBCU for helping her form relationships in her field and being a safe space from her high school in Glenelg, Maryland, which has been in the news for hate crimes.
