I've seen many a righting USMB poster claim, nonsensically, that such-and-such black institution is racist. Showing their ignorance in the process.
The reason why these institutions, organizations and/or business were setup in the first place...is racism.
From the schools to culture, to everything else. Blacks were historically shut-out and/or simply ignored, so there was no choice but to set them up.
HBCUs were created because the institutions of higher learning simply wouldn't accept black students, so HBCUs were created to give black students the opportunity to obtain higher education when virtually no other colleges would.
The Oscars, black talent was simply ignored.
The Grammys, same thing.
The NAACP. founded in 1909, was created to ensure the political, educational, social, and economic equality of rights of all persons and to eliminate race-based discrimination.
And so on, and so on, and so forth. These institutions, business and/or organizations were setup because of American racism. Racism that still persists today, in various forms.
Only an ignorant fool would fix their face or slam their gums to suggest that these institutions, by default, are racist. It's the height of ignorance and, quite frankly, shows the racism of the person expressing such an asinine view.
