" Congrats and God Bless. May others follow suit and learn from your examples. "

" I commend all those that were honored. Your effort and hardwork has not went unnoticed. This community has to be one of the most difficult places I have ever lived in and I've have been lived in quite a few places. It's you three that are making an effort to try to change it instead of sitting behind a computer just complaining and not contributing anything worthwhile. Others should follow the example and see how the community benefits from it. God bless you and your families. "

" Caucasians don't need an NAAWP nor a White Entertainment Television network, nor a Miss White America or any of those other things. Caucasions simply like to believe that they are a human, or persone, or something along those lines, rather than a color. It's is the other races that seem to want to hang on their differences. "

" Nobody specified what the NAAWP stood for, but a few have jumped on the race wagon again. I would like to see the NAAWP stand for the National Association for the Advancement of WORTHY people (regardless of race, class, gender, sexual orientation). But I suppose that having an organization like that would take all the fun out of you biggots on BOTH sides. Wouldn't it be nice to see an organization that tries to advance those who have potential ethics, morals,and the will to achieve no matter what color? Won't fly though, people would have to stop complaining that they weren't part of a special group. "

" Congratulations to Tony Jones, Erwin Davis, and Greg Summers on their respective awards. Each one of you deserved it. I also want to thank everyone at the NAACP for putting on another successful event and helping everyone press forward in the struggle. "

" Once again you all have done an excellent job of making sure that racism still exist in this town. If you feel so strongly about starting the NAAWP why wait until this article to say something. You probably won't need a tuxedo, a good white bedsheet should be proper attire. "

" No Harry, tuxs were not required. Perhaps you should have called and inquired and they would have provided you with a ticket. "

" Are Tuxs and evening wear required to attend? What about those folks who do not have these? The folks who this is all about..the POOR ones. "
