Very interesting. I've never heard of those. Definitely makes sense from a historical point of view but the concept of them existing in a modern day context still seems bizarre to me.

What do most Americans think of them?

Anyone can attend a HBCU. Lots of white people have attended mine due to its great nursing school. Some of the same rural Americans who are conservative have attended an HBCU for various degree programs.

Yeah but a black man donated to a majority all black school on purpose. He chose that school. He is racist.
