mehhh your culture is tied to brands and western capitalism
its different if your folks are from africa or the caribbean
hip hop was created in jamaica
soul food comes from african dishes
clothing is primarily brands made by whites or produced in asain countries
americans just dont wanna admit it but you have low levell of culture cause slavery takes up most of the ancestral timeline
Our culture predates brands and all post slave trade culture is tied into capitalism. or do you think Haitians eat mud cookies because they’re good? or it’s because it’s what they have?
secondly, hip hop is not jamaican, we know that
plenty of soul food dishes and many of the staples are not african (cornbread, mac n cheese etc)
you’re talking about brands being made by asian countries when a lot of african/caribbean “cultural garb” are imported from asian countries and are not locally produced and haven’t been for centuries.
last the difference is we own our culture socially.
Black american culture is black
jamaican culture/haitian/ etc are national cultures. you nikkas share your culture with chinamen
more over plenty of things in jamaican culture
rastafarianism, curry, etc are imports from indians and people from around the world that you adopted from them
even “haiti” and the name “haitian” is a play on Ayiti which is what the island was called by the ACTUAL indigenous population. Those africans are not actual haitians.
at the end of the day we are the culture. you’re an immigrant canadian who fled your country because you couldn’t quite cut it.
wake up.
