Would this be news if the black students decided on their own they wanted a blacks only prom? Don't think so.

Do you think there is no difference between a whites-only prom and a blacks-only prom?

No difference. Except that in this case, no such thing took place. There are two proms here: One invites everyone. The other excludes black students. One is racist; the other is not. If there was a prom that only invited blacks, then it would be racist, too. That, however, is not the case in this situation.
