Well, I hoped it was just an idiomatic denomination, like the "Ivy League".

edit:

after reading Khuutra's post it: I'm glad they're actually being useful. I'll keep my phylosophical and political doubts about them for another time and when I know more.

 You probably thought that blacks weren't allowed to go to other colleges, didn't you?

Given that they were originally established before Brown vs. Board of Education, he's right, that was the original intent. It's important to note, though, that there is a difference between historically black university and predominantly black universities - because in some historically black universities, the black population doesn't actually make up the largest minority.

Whats a black?

I had to look it up.

The term black people usually refers to a racial group of humans with a dark brown skin color, but it has also been used to categorise a number of diverse populations into one common group. Some definitions of the term include only people of relatively recent Sub Saharan African descent (see African diaspora). Among the members of this group, dark skin color is typically accompanied by the expression of natural afro-hair texture. Other definitions of the term Black extend to any of the populations characterized by dark skin color, a definition that also includes certain populations in Oceania, Southeast Asia, [1][2] southern South Asia, [3] and the southern Middle East[4].

Thats so... racial.

 



Tease.

Defining people by the color of their skin is RACIST!

Please, use the politically correct term: humans who have an inordinately affection for watermelon.
