Thanks mafree. Tho my question was somewhat tongue-in-check, I appreciate the info. I think those 'balck colleges' have done a very good job under very difficult circumstances. My point is that in todays world, in theory, blacks now only have the same difficulties as everyone else as far as getting into and through college goes.
My other concern is that if I substitute the word 'white' for 'black' in your statement above, its called racist. That is not equality. I'm curious what you think of this, without knowing your race, nor you knowing mine.
Some may wonder why this needs to be done in this day and time but there's been a long history of excluding, stigmztizing, marginalizing, or ridiculing anything "Black." Some blacks have chosen to respond by asserting that "Black" is something to include and something to be proud of.
Just about anyone wants their race and their culture to be represented positively in the things that touch their lives. With whites in America, such a thing happens without saying; with blacks, it has not come as easily; hence the need to have "Black" this or "Black" that. Of course, not every black feels this way but enough do.
I would encourage you to not feel slighted by something being called "Black"- Blacks are generally not being racist by saying/doing that.
