"Black colleges...may tend to be more reflective of black culture."

By this do mean teaching and stressing Afro-centric perspectives, including revisionist history, philosophy and advocacy of separatism?

Afrocentrism actually started and is stronger at non-black colleges and universities, so the direct answer to your question is "not necessarily."

What I was more referring to is that there are more blacks around and the day-to-day life of the school is more like what most blacks are used to. This can be as simple as serving certain foods in the cafeteria to which holidays are celebrated to who gets to come speak at the school.
