Culture is also defined by the arts as well. To downplay us with century old philosophers comes off as disingenuous. We have poetry through the eyes of maya angelou and langston Hughes, poignant music from the likes of Nina simone and Billie holliday, hell we've created whole genres of music that the world enjoys and we still tend to be trendsetters in those matters. What was the last thing Greece was known for culturally?
Why are AA's the only group in the diaspora who are told get in tune with their culture?

What I don't get is, if you were able to retain parts of your culture or all of it, why is bleaching being done in the caribbean, and parts Africa?
Why is there still colorism? Why are they still christians, and strong ones at that?
To me, every black person who says they kept their culture are way worse then black americans, because you have reasons to not buy into white supremacy, but you still do?
Now that I'm thinking about it, that makes me think they may be more dangerous to us, because they are willingly going against us, by taking on a specific mind state, yet they have no choice but to live around us, and smile
, but with some, they have no connection with us. This makes it easy to not care when shyt happens to us, and to come up then just hire your own if you decide who gets a job at a certain company.I never even thought about this until now!
I wonder how the people who don't feel this way about black americans,deal with family, and friends, who do?

That's true. We aren't taught our intellectual history in primary education.
We won't even learn that if we go to college unless you wanted to.
Only reason I know is because I was curious.

Here you go again with the passive aggressive racism
"Culture: Culture is the social behavior and norms found in human societies. Culture is considered a central concept in anthropology, encompassing the range of phenomena that are transmitted through social learning in human societies"
Due to our history of oppression we have always expressed ourselves thru music and food. This started during slavery becuz we had no choice. Our culture starts from having to cope with our situation. Frederick Douglas embodied that. He learned to read, escaped, and became a historical figure as a result. Everything he achieved as a free man was the result of him coping with his situation as a black man in America. At the same time we only been free for 150 years and we are still trying to figure out who we are.
Confucius, Aristotle, and Plato? Those societies had been around 100s of years before these dudes surfaced. Gives us time
Music was literally for survival, one of the few ways of getting out of slavery was that. Before Elvis and zep and all that shyt, we taught their children music and mastered western instruments easily and created new instruments from African and western ones.
There is a reason why a lot of brehs go into music, genetics and it is still seen as a way to become a free man.
Blues has its roots in slave chants and pain.
