There are sound historical reasons for ‘black colleges’ since at the time they were established, many colleges were white-only (not just anti-black, they were also anti-Asian, anti-Jewish, etc.).

Nowadays, many are simply ‘historically’ black colleges meaning that they will accept other races which means there really aren’t any ‘black’ colleges per se. Given this, why should there be ‘white’ colleges? Many would argue that most of the rest of the colleges already fit the description of ‘historically’ white colleges.

We need to look past race and focus on the inividual.
