Well something is interfering here!  On what kind of system are you doing
this?  Stand-alone PC or as part of a site network?


What happens if you do 

emacs21 -vanilla      ?

If it works as with Xemacs, that should cut out local and site-wide init
files. If that dosn't work have a look in the emacs21 user manual for the
equivalent command line options.

Instead of trying with ~/.Xdefaults, you could try something like this in
your .emacs (near the end!)  Fidle with colours according to taste....

(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-mode . light))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(foreground-color . "Black"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(cursor-color . "red"))
(add-to-list 'default-frame-alist '(background-color . "LightGoldenRodYellow"))
