You know how there are colleges for African Americans......?

Question

Are there any for just white people that no blacks or other races can attend?
Why is it that there can be one for blacks and not whites. I find this very frustrating. I would like to be corrected if I am wrong about the colleges. This would make me happy.

Answer 1

Black schools are schools that traditionally have a predominantly African American student body. However, these schools will not prohibit non-African Americans from joining.

Perhaps you should apply. It might help you.

Answer 2

Never fear, you can apply to morehouse if you like:

To many, historically black colleges are all black. Not so. Although most black colleges have a majority of black students, not all do, and virtually all have non-black students. Approximately 17-18% of the students in black colleges are white and another 13% are foreign. Nor are faculty at the black college all black. A third or more of most black college faculty members are non-black. In fact, the historically black colleges have always been open to whites when the law allowed. Also, “historically black” is different from “predominantly black” and predominantly black is different from an institution having a “plurality” of black students. In most predominantly black colleges, more than 50 percent of the students are black. An institution may be neither historically nor predominantly black but may have a plurality of black students.

Answer 3

The reason why these colleges are considered "Black" is because the majority of people who attend are black. No one is prevented from going there because of their race. There are white people who do attend those colleges as well. Maybe you should apply, you'll probably get in since you're going to be a minority. Or would you feel out of place...hrmm.

Answer 4

You are wrong about the colleges. There are historically black colleges, but there aren't ANY that wouldn't allow whites in. Most schools that are mostly black now are that way because not many whites apply. And those black colleges were mostly created because a lot of regular colleges wouldn't allow blacks in in the first place.

Answer 5

They are not 'colleges for African Americans,' they're historically black colleges, a big difference. A student of any ethnicity may enrol at these schools.

They came about in a time when whites wouldn't permit blacks to attend university. Denied, blacks formed their own institutions of higher learning, which persist to this day.

Answer 6

Your question is silly... There are predominately black colleges that are for blacks but white students are welcome as is with most colleges around the United States that are predominately white but blacks are welcome. The only reason for black colleges is because in the past there was so much prejudice and hate for minorities at the college level there had to be colleges built to cater to the minority. What is so wrong with that. Honestly this is not the place to ask a question like this because in order to get accurate information on black colleges and their history as to why they were ever formed you might visit one or a website. Spelman, Morehouse, Lincoln, etc...

Answer 7

There are no black colleges where whites cannot attend. You will hear and read a lot of propaganda about what black colleges really mean.

Here's some food for thought:
