Yes 'blacks' can join Freemasons.

ONLY REAL RULES TO BECOME A FREEMASON

  • Be a man, [NOTE: there are other branches of Masonry that accept both men and women, or women only];
  • Be at least 21 years old. [NOTE: Some lodges and some jurisdictions allow 18- or 19-year-olds, or may make exceptions for those who are sons of Masons, or for university students.]
  • Have belief in a Supreme Being -- of any faith. No particular religion or faith is required or excluded. All are welcome.

Freemasonry admits men regardless of race, creed, color, faith or nationality and no where in this list of rules does it mention race as a component in becoming a freemason.

Also, as you can see in this picture of Masonic Members of the Lodge Morality, (Ghana), 1930, there are both black and white men noted.

The Act marked a significant step toward equality, enabling whites and blacks to participate together in various social, economic, and political activities.


Why do people hate Blacks?

Some people turn against African Americans or Africans because they are stereotypically known to cause crimes and join gangs.
