Right you are.....
These colleges USED to be mostly white. So lets call them that. Lets call them "historically white". We call other colleges "historically black". Lets call each what they really were in the past OR lets try living in the present and refer to neither type of college by race / color. Get it?????
Actually those colleges used to be all white. Now they are mostly white. Historically black colleges came about because black students could not attend all-white schools. Now they can. Great. Whites can attend historically black schools as well.

So what am I supposed to get?
I understand all that. Exactly you are right.
Why call some colleges today "historically black" but not call others "historically white"?
Either all colleges should be referenced by their historical nature, or we should live in the present and not refer to either type by race / color. Surely you understand?

Come on, surely there are bigger racial issues you can argue. This is really just nitpicky and infantile.
you know if there were more equal opportunity,say,telling everybody to go F@#K themselves equally,the world may be a better place..I use it and every day is great from beginning to end...food for thought

I think those colleges probably don't want to call themselves "historically white" because they don't like to really highlight the fact that when they originated black people weren't allowed on their campuses. I've seen some schools acknowledge their first black or female students though.
Look at public schools today I defy you to find one with more than 90% White students. There are no White colleges, Black colleges (if you look) are generally about 99% black.
