I hadn't heard that but I can believe it.
We may be in 21stC but too many people's mindsets are Neanderthal.

Just to be sure I knew all of the possible meaning of vestigial, I looked it up on www.dictionary.com. It referred me to the word "vestige" whose meaning is "a mark, trace, or visible evidence of something that is no longer present or in existence." So these black students were forbidden to enter a place that was no longer there ???
While I am sure there are many, many true examples of discrimination against blacks going on in the world today, I am not sure this is one of them. You are doing no one any good by posting things which don't seem to be substantiated.

In Japan I wasn't allowed in a bar once because I wasn't Japanese. I think I could have gone in but not the other European Americans that were with me.
Cultural and Racial political correctness simply doesn't exist in some places and no race is more open minded than any other.
Sad we have free choice and don't choose to come to a consensus about what we as a species wish to become.

a "vestigial" place? when you cannot use the proper term or spelling, I have a lot of trouble believing anything you may have to say. You may want to look up vestigial, and see what you just actually said.

Unfortunately yes. Racism has become taboo and unpolitically correct but that doesn't mean that racism no longer exists. It's no longer out in the open anymore.

Sadly, the one doctrine of Christianity that is not really up for debate is the depravity of human nature...
