Maybe the default color changed? Try these two things:

1.)     Add the following xterm-equivalents (im using aterm) to your
        ~/.Xdefaults file:

        $ grep ground .Xdefaults
        Aterm*background: black
        Aterm*foreground: white

2.)     Make X read you ~/.Xdefaults file:

        $ grep defaults .xsession
        xrdb -load ~/.Xdefaults
