America has no culture....
America stripped black folks of culture and tradition
therefore........
But, we all know that aint true, because we never really mingled with whites like that throughout history, so we obviously had to do things that are now associated with blacks. Every group on earth had to do this, its not rocket science. Our music was different, our food was made somewhat different. This part is hard because most blacks were the cooks in this nation, so the recipes were still by black people. Our politics were different. Even the way we worship is different, so how can you say we have no culture or America doesn't. Sounds very ignorant, to me!
This brings me to another point. Let's just say AA didn't do anything related to African culture, what does that have to do with both groups being related somewhere down the line, and both being effected by white supremacy? The way I see, the issue of being separated, and conquered, is more of a bigger deal then cultural connection. Have black people been so used of fighting each other, that we can't see this simple fact?
This argument is basically the "real hip hop" argument. Some used to say you are not "real hip hop" if you didn't sound like NYC rap, but we now see everyone had their version of hip hop, and some even did it better then NYC, so how weren't they "real hip hop" if they kept the same elements, for the most part?
If what people are considering culture is music, food, language, what makes that so big that it would separate people IF those people have a bigger reason why they are fukked up? Europeans have different culture, but you can travel though the continent very easy, and its no question they all would consider themselves white if you asked what race they were, and if they were to go against other groups.
