Why are there all Black Colleges but not for any other race in the U.S.?

Because an all white college would be "discrimination," while an all black college is not.  Makes PERFECT sense, right?  It's all political correctness.

There have been several African American "migrations" to the large cities over the years, so many of the cities you have mentioned have large African American populations.  I would hope that there are no cities that are "ruled" by one ethnicity or another.

Many African Americans are prejudiced.  I lived in Cincinnati for three years and noticed a disturbing trend of many black people blaming their problems on white people.  \n\nI agree with what you stated about there being all types of "black-oriented" channels and clubs that specifically target, and refer to, their people; this is a great example of a double standard.  I have noticed the same thing with other races having exclusitivity in regards to organizations: Asian and Hispanic television stations and social clubs for example. If there was anything that referred to white people, it would definitely be considered racist.  We have the liberal, PC-minded spineless masses to thank for not standing up for OUR rights. Amen!

Any school that was "a good all White school"  did their students a dishonor.  There certainly was nothing good about it.  U r ignorant because they cheated u out learning about other races and people who u would have to work or deal with in society.  U may not be racist but ur question ran along those lines and there r many folks wondering what ur true ideals and beliefs r when u ask such a thing.  That again shows ur ignorance.  I pray u learn more about this world u share with other human beings no matter what color, nationality, or creed.  God Bless u.

It is not in the top 50. You can go here http://www.blackenterprise.com/ExclusivesekOpen.asp?id=106 to the Black Enterprise Site and see the top 50. The list is not all, or even mostly HBCU's but is the list of the top 50 colleges for African Americans. The best school for a particular person may or may not be highly ranked. It depends on what you need and expect from your college experience. Many very successful and famous people did not attend a "top" college or university.

Your question is not racist.\nIf you've noticed, caucasions are not permitted to have any specialty charities, organizations and not even a "special holiday".\nAfrican Americans have\nKwaanza and June-teenth to celebrate their cultures.\nJewish holidays, Cinco de Mayo for the Hispanics...\nNational Black History Month\n\nCaucasions are definitely the minority in nearly every state.\n\nWe can't even change the "title" in\nwe choose to be referrred as the \nAfrican-Americans do.  Not to be disrespectful, I'm not sure what they\nchoose to be called this week.\n\nWonder why Caucasions are not\nuprising like other nationalities do?\nMaybe we should.\n\nNo one alive at this time has been a slave, owned a slave or killed a slave.   How long shall we have this held over our heads.\n\nRacism is eqaully alive by Blacks against other races.   So why do \nwhites have to defend ourselves for it?

In a perfect world there would be no distinctions b/w race, gender or even religion. But since this is the United States and African-Americans are the largest and longest established minority group, I think we can cut them some slack as the spokesman-race for all other minorities. Just a thought.

Is this a joke?  There were probably tens of thousands, hundreds of thousands, or millions of African-American Biology majors in colleges and universities across the US.

Just for the record, I am black. I can not speak for all blacks, but I can speak for my family and friends. We are all hard working people and NO ONE, has ever handed anything to me. I have worked myself through college to earn 4 degrees and I guarantee you that everything that I have earned has been obtained through hard work

I don't know if I understand the question correctly.  But if you're describing a situation where the college assigns housing based on race, I think it would be.  If, on the other hand, the "majority/all of the students"of a particular program, let's say for example, a sports team, or international students, or first-year students, are of a distinct racial minority on that campus, it might be trickier to prove intentional racism.  What it can be is institutional racism- that is, if the admissions recruiters always look in the same places for the same faces, and they keep getting one group, such as European Americans, and then they have this special recruitment effort to get a particular sports team that is majority-minority (for that campus), then that would fit institutional racism.  The legality part is tricky, because the courts and those who write the law haven't stood up to institutional racism with much backbone.  They seem to look for a smoking gun- intentional discrimination.\n\nIt's similar to how people look at Affirmative Action. Those who see no long, unending, government-supported history of institutionalized racism seem to oppose Affirmative Action.  These same opponents are looking for the same smoking gun. They often claim that they are not personally responsible for racism, so shouldn't suffer any remedies.  The reason Affirmative Action was created, under President Kennedy, was to look at the patterns of discrimination, and say- hey, when we can prove a long history of discrimination, we can't count on this pattern to take care of itself.  When confronted by two roughly equal candidates, take the underrepresented group, who has been historically harmed by discrimination/racism/sexism.  By the way, the group that benefits the most from Affirmative Action has been white women, who have benefitted second only to white men from the very system of white privilege that sees the best education, best housing, and best jobs, protected for them.\n\nThe second group sees Affirmative Action as either effective, necessary, or still not enough.  I would consult a lawyer, and probably not the feds to get an opinion on your case, if it's effecting you at this college/university.  There are still too many majority-white institutions of higher education who do not know or care to know how to recruit AND retain a diverse student body, and who have a disproportionate number of students of color on their sports teams.  I see a pattern that seeks redress in the national picture, but not sure about the specifics in your case.  Check out various national organizations working on these issues- see some listed below.  Best of luck.  Document everything.  Write it down, email it, etc.

Cuz blacks never owned other blacks

If you think that race is not a factor in terms of a job or getting into a school, then you are in denial.  Sometimes it works in favor of the minority, sometimes in the favor of the majority.  Private schools may not have an official affirmative action policy but they still allow you to include your race on the application, and still list the statistics of different races enrolled at their university.  What is the purpose for keeping these up to date statistics about races attending their schools.

I think as long as there are still huge discrepancies and toothless laws that don't really work well in preventing discrimation, there should be some kind of affirmative action programs. I would like to think that at this point all we need are programs which promoted people who are entirely competitive with the rest of the population that is looking to gain college entrance or employment...... Some programs for encouraging people by giving them scholarships, job training or meals in the morning like "Head Start". It is wrong to enforce quotas based solely on race and not on ability and race together. Is this a legal question or it is about ethics and justice? It's been more than 30 years since I read anything by Plato or Kant in college, and I'm not going to debate the Bible. I guess the underlying question here is - how far should you go to try to legislate ethics and morality? In the case of affirmative action, the goal should be to raise up competent and talented minorities. It seems to be working somewhat, though progress seems slow (especially these days). I would not be in favor of continuing "affirmative action" on a permanent basis. Hopefully, soon, we'll not need it any more.
