Are white people allowed to go to black colleges?

Yes. These schools call themselves "predominantly black colleges" or "historically black colleges". Being white will not prevent you from attending. For example, at Howard University, which is a prestigious historically black university, 86% of their students are black. Most historically black colleges have 13% or higher non-black students. \n\nSo if you're white, and you're interested in attending a historically black college, or a college that is majority black, apply.

No.  It is illegal to do so.\nHowever, the alumni association may have someone give your mom a job.  The college may give you a scholarship that covers tuition, room & board, book, tutors, etc.  A "friend of the school" may loan you a new car until graduation.  etc...\nBut, you can receive NO money.

It is a crime --- you have to prove discrimination get a good lawyer and go fight for your rights -\n\n The jobs you listed have by far(nation wide) more whites employees than other minorities.\n\nIn my home town --- on the local fire dept. there was only one black person (full time employee) the rest are white. My nursing class had about 40 students (only 2 black students).\n I still find for the most part people go where they feel comfortable (accepted).

UNCF was started by the president of Tuskegee (a Black college) in 1944. Considering the fact that Jim Crow was still in full effect, most Blacks did not have the option of attending White colleges and universities. White women were even limited in their college choices until the femenist movement hit. White men, however, were not limited at all. \n\nEven if Blacks were welcome, most could not afford a college education. The UNCF was created to help Black students attend Black colleges such as Hampton, Howard, Fisk, Tuskeege as well as non-Black colleges that were accepting of Black students.\n\nAmerica has never had racial equality and has never been fair. If you look at history, this nation has always been very exclusive. It was the norm to have signs saying things like, "No Irish" or "No Italians". And of course the infamous "No Blacks, No Jews, No Dogs" sign. Minority groups, wether they be ethnic, racial, or religious, had to develop support networks or else perish.  \n\nTo sum up your question: Whenever you saw organizations that were for Whites only, they were designed to oppress, abuse, humiliate, or eradicate other groups. Whenever you see minority organizations, they are usually designed uplift and empower that group. Also, minority groups generally welcome people outside of that group to help. There are many non-Black members of the UNCF. Most Jewish organizations in my area openly welcome the support of non-Jews. I was even offered a job with an organization that helps Latinos find jobs in the DC area, and I'm not anywhere near being Latin. That is why typically it's not acceptable to have an organization for Whites. Generally Whites (specifically White Anglo Saxon Protestants...aka...WASPs) were the oppressors, and having organizations for Whites was a way of keeping other groups from making social, educational, or financial progress. To have a White organization today would be looked down upon mostly for that reason.\n\nBesides, does it really make sense to have support organizations for White people in a nation that is mostly White?

I am a white female attending the university of alabama and although I may not be able to relate to racism of african americans, I can say that I have never, in the past four years I've lived in Tuscaloosa, seen or heard anything racist. HONESTLY. I have lived in Alabama all my life & I went to an all white school. Coming to U of A was a new experience for me because I am around and interact with many african american people. The "white to black" ratio has to be about even here. So, my point is that this college is full of different races & ethnicities, so don't picture an all white college that you wouldn't fit in at. I work at the local mall & all my coworkers are black people. Of course, you'll have your "clicks", but I don't think it is anything out of the ordinary. I love Alabama & you really should consider going here. I don't know what you saw on the tv or read somewhere. but I promise you, this is an awesome college & I would recommend it to anyone! :) One more thing, if you are a football fan, this is DEFINATELY the place for you. We are die-hard here! ROLL TIDE!!!

That is not right. Most of the time people that receive grants or other form of assistances happen to be people who are just like you, but the problem is that the providers fear to be accused of racism since the people they provide are always the unfortunate and poor. That is just my idea... But FIGHT for your rights, no matter if you are white, green, yellow or black.

AMEN! \n\nI am sick of special programs for minorities. Where is the scholarship for the white boy who grew up poor? Certainly he has a much harder time in life than any rich minority.\n\nIf people want to be treated as equals, then they must eliminate the programs that allow them special privileges. Until I see minorities protesting against hiring quotas, hate crime laws, and other such racist things, they will not be seen as "equals". The government has many laws telling me that they are not equal to others, so how can I argue that point?

I don't see why not.  If people would prefer to go to a non-coed school they should be able to.

I don't know if I understand the question correctly.  But if you're describing a situation where the college assigns housing based on race, I think it would be.  If, on the other hand, the "majority/all of the students"of a particular program, let's say for example, a sports team, or international students, or first-year students, are of a distinct racial minority on that campus, it might be trickier to prove intentional racism.  What it can be is institutional racism- that is, if the admissions recruiters always look in the same places for the same faces, and they keep getting one group, such as European Americans, and then they have this special recruitment effort to get a particular sports team that is majority-minority (for that campus), then that would fit institutional racism.  The legality part is tricky, because the courts and those who write the law haven't stood up to institutional racism with much backbone.  They seem to look for a smoking gun- intentional discrimination.\n\nIt's similar to how people look at Affirmative Action. Those who see no long, unending, government-supported history of institutionalized racism seem to oppose Affirmative Action.  These same opponents are looking for the same smoking gun. They often claim that they are not personally responsible for racism, so shouldn't suffer any remedies.  The reason Affirmative Action was created, under President Kennedy, was to look at the patterns of discrimination, and say- hey, when we can prove a long history of discrimination, we can't count on this pattern to take care of itself.  When confronted by two roughly equal candidates, take the underrepresented group, who has been historically harmed by discrimination/racism/sexism.  By the way, the group that benefits the most from Affirmative Action has been white women, who have benefitted second only to white men from the very system of white privilege that sees the best education, best housing, and best jobs, protected for them.\n\nThe second group sees Affirmative Action as either effective, necessary, or still not enough.  I would consult a lawyer, and probably not the feds to get an opinion on your case, if it's effecting you at this college/university.  There are still too many majority-white institutions of higher education who do not know or care to know how to recruit AND retain a diverse student body, and who have a disproportionate number of students of color on their sports teams.  I see a pattern that seeks redress in the national picture, but not sure about the specifics in your case.  Check out various national organizations working on these issues- see some listed below.  Best of luck.  Document everything.  Write it down, email it, etc.

Yes, minorities get special treatment. Just like you'd be racist if you decided to start a United White College Fund. It is complete garbage. If it is racist to go one way, it is racist to go the other. Eliminatae race from the equation entirely and just have a United People College Fund!!!!!!!!

Yes there are... I know several white sorors.  As matter of fact there are white people and other non black people in every sorority and fraternity in the divine nine.

No. Fraternities and sororities are associations of the college and require that you be students.

It's illegal for them to not accept you because of your race. You will not have a problem. When I was in school, there were "regular" (primarily white) sororities, and there were "black" (obvious) sororities. The "regular" ones were multi-racial and the "black" ones were black. However, if a white person wanted to join a black sorority, they were technically allowed to. Technically, if you hear what I'm saying. You can do what you want and if you believe they didn't accept you solely or even in part based on race, you go tell the Greek board or whatever they call it at your school. You'll get in just fine. Just be your lovely self and there's no way they won't want you. Good luck to you!
