It could be that the OP set up a black system theme, and emacs is taking
the information from there.  That's why he is seeing a dark emacs instance
when using the command "emacs".

Have no idea about what is the minimum settings for init file, that stops
settings form X resources taking effect.  There are so many ways information
can be obtained that it could be difficult to track.  Hence the confusion.
