Best Answer

They were started for Black kids (and even adults who didn't have an education) because they were not allowed to attend other schools.

The first Black community colleges were designed to help freed slaves to develop the necessary skills needed for living in the free world. In that time period, they were called "normal schools."

Why is it racist for white people to have an all white school but black people can have an all black school?

Well, it WOULD be racist to have an "all-black school", but luckily there arent any! What you describe as "all-black" schools are known as HBCUs, or Historically Black Colleges and Universities. These schools are not "all-black", but are predominantly black because they were founded in the 1800s to give black students the chance to attend college at a time when they were not allowed admission to the major universities. Over the past few decades, more non-black students have been applying for admission, making these schools more diverse and not "all-black". But, since the population of these schools have historically been predominantly black, they are called HBCUs. If a school were founded today to be "historically black", or "all-black", that would definitely be racist, but that wont happen because the American education system has been desegregated.
