What kinda culture do African-Canadians have?

[Nomad1]

nikka aint you a tupac stan

So? Im arguing that Black Canadians do not co-opt Black American culture en masse because in most cases they already have their own.

large Somali, Trinidad, or Jamaican populations, people that have pre-existing cultures. I would say that Black Canadians co-opting Black American culture en masse is a myth.

How many American hoods did Drake rent out for music videos?

true

Yea but are they doing it en masse? Essentially, hip hop was birthed because of African instruments and storytelling, something that has existed in places where the Weekend and Robin Banks are from. Also, it's kinda disappointing when the first thing nikkas do to prove that AC steal from AA culture is to post hip hop or music related stuff.

Straw man. Im not arguing that Black Canadians don't participate, or "co-opt" AA culture. Re-read my post.

fam can you read? Honest to god. Plus, it's incredibly sad if you nikkas go straight to rap music if you want to prove that black canadians or black british people are co-opting Black american culture. Incredibly sad.

Canadians have yet to just show some examples of Canadian black culture. Instead they proved our points that their shyt is African, Carribean, AA etc. Where as they have no black culture that isn't immigrated or "borrowed."

Pay attention to the slang and fashion not the music. Do they have trap houses in Somalia? It's looks like a parody of drill video.
