I hear this kind of ridiculous argument all the time. Blacks are a minority whose culture is not reflected or represented in its entirety within mainstream society, therefore, sometimes they form their own organizations. It is not reverse racism. They only seek to stake out a place of their own within cultures that default largely to the white majority.
