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.

Is Obama black or biracial?

His mother is white and his father is black. That makes him biracial. Just because the racist media keeps calling him our 'first black president' does not mean they are correct. He is half white. The only people who have issues with this are racist black people who try to claim him as fully black. They know they are wrong.
