African American Colleges?

Thanks for the posting but it seems like a couple of people believe my question was bashing black colleges. I REALLY do like a lot of black colleges particularly Morehouse…however I will not apply there because I feel like I do not fit there image. (i’m fine with being a minority a school but not so much in a school which endorses the idea that they are a black institution.)

I felt this feeling in Elementary School when I went to an “historically black” 1st-5th grade private school. My parents tried to get me in an the admissions ppl were hesitant in accepting me (i’m indian), even though my test scores were far above their average…In the end it was a really akward situation and I was finally let in…

I have a problem with certain comments said on this forum such as:

“I suggest that you learn your history”

–yes, of course I was aware of the fact that Princeton was an all white college…isn’t it common knowledge that most colleges accepted white students in the early 20th century?

"if you want to be on a predominately white college campus so you can immerse yourself in “white culture.”

I don’t really understand this comment because I am not white. It is really inappropriate…

–Please do not make this thread personal…I was mearly posting hypothetical questions because I was intrested in a really good debate.
