Yes there are several. I have not been to them but a quick search shows the following (in no particular order):
The Black Professionals Meetup Group
The Houston Black Professionals Meetup Group (HBPMG) is a social and professional organization for black professionals who have a mutual interest in social and business networking, community involvement, and professional development. Our goal is to explore Houston and its surrounding areas while increasing our social and professionoal spheres of influence. Although the group is open to all industries, it is primarily intended for professionals who are mature, open-minded, educated and living life with a sense of purpose.

Why is it okay to have an organization for Black Singles but if there was one for white singles you would be screaming your head off. Just wondering?

Jim H is a racist bit##. You can't give a blackman no slack. You go through racism and slavery for four hundred years. You are to weak to walk through our shoes. We're catching up; I know your scared! Keep sweating homey!
