It's an Xdefaults problem...

in your ~/.Xdefaults file (or your Xterm app-defaults file, if you prefer)
put:

xterm*SimpleMenu.background:    black
xterm*SimpleMenu.foreground:    white
xterm*fontMenu.background:     black
xterm*fontMenu.foreground:     white
xterm*mainMenu.background:     black
xterm*mainMenu.foreground:     white
xterm*vtMenu.background:       black
xterm*vtMenu.foreground:       white

Or whatever colours you prefer.

Later,

   David
