No. Because black, like it or not, people stereotype themselves and others by race and color. People put themselves and get put in boxes based on the expectation implied by these characteristics. Black girls don't have role models or encouragement to peruse coding the way white men or even white women do. Programs like this open the door to new groups and welcome them. A general purpose program would by default, perhaps unintentionally, set a high barrier for black girls to join. It's a sort of "affirmative action," which I'm often opposed to, but in this case I am not because the opportunity is focused in a massive deficit. On a side note, it's interesting that your outrage applies to race but not gender separations.
