The blues also didn't define how we talk, dress, and act either

Breh theres been plenty of evidence provided for you in this thread. So I don't know why your keeping up with this "the math aint adding up" shtick

You also have to have a working understanding of how older musical genres impacted the general AA population during those times as well

black always questioning themselves. literally no other ethnic group in this country would make a thread like this. that's just proof of how oppressed we've been throughout this countries history, it's sad. like we don't even know how good we are.

What are you talking about? People of other ethnic groups have always questioned and analyzed their culture :what:

Are Black Americans the only blacks in the Americas questioned about not having "culture" ? :beli: Like u would never hear someone tell a Black Brazilian, Cuban, Jamaican, Trini, Black Mexican, etc that they have no culture cause of xyz. And keep it 100, a lot of foreigners visit the suburban, subdivisionlands of metro areas and think that's all America is like "yall don't even have real neighborhoods, where is the arts, landmarks, food markets"....I don't know, I never know what culture means after traveling overseas and coming back......is it like poverty? :sas2:........when I see cats in Brazil dressed like Cali niccas, that tells me something :patrice:

This is why.

Being a c00n. Intergration.



When you see lil b*stard kids in random hoods around the world dressed in throw away jerseys and chuck sneakers that doesn't mean they're emulating c00ns out in la, they're living in poverty most likely.

bruh i've never heard or can even think about another ethnic group going like "what is our culture?". maybe as a rhetorical question, but some of us honestly dont know. i know this black girl adopted by white people for instance who didn't know what soul food was, I was like "it's black people food", and she said "there's no such thing as black people food!". i was mortified

Hell
Hip-hop, R&B, soul food, project/inner city/hood culture.

That's all I can think of.

I hate to say it, but there really isn't much that can constitute black culture in America...but it's ten times more than what white culture is (nothing).

I'm African though...and West Indian...we got our own culture. America is just a community culture and a clusterfukk in itself.

White culture is maintaining racism over blacks, black culture is nothing in America but false hood dreams.
