How did African Americans become the "coolest" race in the world?

[Anerdyblackguy]

We were Born that way

No group has the style that black americans have. I hate how people try to be slick and add other groups when it comes to the whole style thing

Too bad you nikkas worried about "cool points" instead of capitalizing off all that shyt

What's "cool" tends to be stuff stolen from a subculture. It has to be obscure before its popular. Also the fact that something's taboo makes it more interesting.

AA's are always cool because we are shyt on the most. We are a seperate culture within a nation so our shyt is not so foreign that it is difficult to imitate or appropriate by white folks.

I was gonna say something similar to this too...

I also thought though kings and queens back in Africa be it Mansa Musa or King Tut still had more swag than your average European King or Asian dynasty emperor.

Hm.....I think its not necessarily a black thing but rather an African American and Jamaican thing . No disrespect to the Africans on here but nobody was copying yall so it might actually have something to do with perhaps the hardships of our past but then again why aren't Brazilian blacks doing anything on a massive global scale?......or its all just a coincidence

We were the first to modernize, innovate and export our culture from Europe to The Caribbean to Africa to Asia to Latin America. We are also better at reinventing ourselves and discarding the old.

You can't talk MODERN Jamaican, Nigerian, South African, British, French art without mentioning the huge impact of African American culture on them as they have all heavily bitten at one point or another.

I'm Caribbean. Y'all always preying on our women and preeing our steelo

African American is not a race dear..

Depends on your definition of race

 

[Will Ross]

Because we know how to make the best outta nothing. Also i think we have more pride in african history as a whole than other groups

 

[RadaMillz]

It's because you'll were able to shine due to being around swag less cacs

 

[Formerly Black Trash]

Adversity
Pressured coal so much shine bright like a diamond

 

[SheWantTheD]

I think it's largely due to the fact that we are at the forefront in a lot of entertainment platforms ie television, movies, music, sports etc... and adding that white people are boring, got no swag per say makes it easier.
