No, it means "HISTORICALLY black". These schools where some of the few that were made for blacks during a time when blacks couldn't go to a lot of other schools.
They just so happen to be mostly black. There are plenty of mostly white schools around the country a well. Big deal.
I've heard that said too. Tho Asian racism seems to be against people darker skinned than them because "white skin color" supremacy is a thing in Asian culture too even tho many of them do have brown skin.
I've seen that, but there is also quite a bit of racism from Asians (including Indians/south Asians) against whites. Some east Asians say we smell funny, we're hairy, we're stupid, we're lazy, etc. Some south Asians think the same thing, except for the hairy part. They're just as hairy as we are!
So are African-born blacks... who outperform all ethnic groups in the United States in academic attainment.
Wait... what's the difference between a black born in Africa and the United States?
Only about 400 years of slavery, Jim crow, housing segregation, voter disenfranchisement, the war on drugs, privatization of prisons, and intergenerational poverty.
Saying your "Black" vs saying your "African" can be two different things in the United States. Blacks generally don't like to be lumped in with recent African immigrants. There are plenty of Black Americans who don't identify being "African".
NO! It's from a time when your people purposely prevented blacks from attending schools of higher education together with whites. HBCUs were never intended to be discriminatory (like the institutions that spurred their creation), they have been and always will be inclusive... And a reminder of how the majority saw blacks as a group...
