The only blacks only thing I know of is the Nation of Islam. Every other black organization, even the Black Gangster Disciple Nation, has members of other races in it.

There are no blacks only colleges. None that I know of. You do watch CNN don't you? Or is Fox News Channel your only source?

The Historically Black Schools were primarily established because schools in 17 mostly Southern states would not accept Black students. Most, if not all of these schools now educate all races.

Like the NAACP, or the National Black Justice Coalition, CORE, or various others.
NAACP was formed by white folk. It's leaders come in all colors.

It sure does.

The county has about 9000 people. About 40% are Black.

If any group does not want you,why is it so important you force them to let you in? Do you think you can force people to like you? I would not go to court to try to make some ghetto club let me in. I would not want to go. I understand that most white places are much nicer than black places, but is this because blacks do not take care of their places?
Why is it Black neighborhoods are so bad? I walked through older neighborhoods and it does not cost a dime to pick up the garbage around your home.

As mom used to say soap is darn near free.

I see the Storm Front garbage truck backed up to this forum and again dumped its trash on the premises.
