When black people start their own clubs, and label them as "black" clubs why isn't that considered segregation and racist since other ethnic groups aren't allowed to join, or believed not able to join by the name of the group.

I believe the idea is that most associations already are "white associations" in a sense. Minorities sometimes feel the need to have that extra social group to make up for being a minority which may be limiting to begin with.
It's a way for their community to have a stronger voice and actually be able to contribute with the majority voice(which is mostly white). It's easier for a group of black people to be heard against the white majority then it is for 1 black person.
I'm not saying I agree with this, but this is why I would say they exist. Personally, I'm kind of split on the issue. Idealy, they wouldn't be necessary because minorities would be treated equaly in the first place and we wouldn't have to continuously divide ourselves by race.
