Motherfukker, I'm giving you props on the troll job.

I know ma'am. Sheesh.

Are you trolling me now?

Some of us do not practice our ancestors' religion nor speak our ancestors language. You got us on that. But we do have Gullah language and AAVE. But at least we have created several music cultures, we have our own cuisine, and we do have a lot of customs and tradition and other cultural gems unique to us. Unfortunately our culture gets heavily(pretty much everything we do) approapriated and mass marketed to the mainstream. Then its not ours anymore. I am watching marching bands on youtube right now. That is historic black culture. Of course now its "American" culture.

Please don't insult black people in this manner. Because most of culture is stolen by white people who are the one who really don't have a culture. The music you listen to, influenced by blacks right down to Country music. Most of the foods you eat from Bar b Que to "stuffing" was appropriated from blacks.

And remember the English language and Christianity was forced upon us.

Culturally we are not European just because we speak English. Learn something about us before you start talking shyt.

White people gave you a culture after they took the one your ancestors had....

If you don't have your own language, then you don't really have a culture...

Black American culture is just European sub-culture...

I have been observing students in my classroom, and noticed that Black American students will easily make friends with White Americans before they make friends with a Black African...This is just a personal observations...I could be wrong...

But it makes sense...Black American culture is a sub-culture of American culture...Y'all think you are so different, but as an outsider I see things differently...

 

[Bless't]

white girls best saved for da gram
could have the best ass in the world but she gon be annoying, dumb as hell, cant cook for shyt or handle a household, cant do shyt for herself, gon be trashed all the time, gon be clingy, not gon raise no kids, gon be ugly at 30
would never wife a white bytch they pretty much exhibit every quality you wouldn't want a life partner to have

Wow. Find better white women my dude. Sounds like you're messing with white trash to be honest.

I know ma'am. Sheesh.

Are you trolling me now?

Nope, just about to leave this Italian joint.

 

[Londilon]

Cac creates a thread on a black forum about white women because he is certain that you c00ns would come up lusting for them. Good job at being idiots, brehs.

I would never date, fukk, or marry a white cac hoe.

 

[Mowgli]

Now you claim that you are not African, but when a White man states that "black Americans haven't contributed shyt to human progress" then you will bring up Egypt and Ethiopia...

If you ain't African then all you have is slavery, do you realize that...

I believe when you want to live in a bubble of stupidity you can convince yourself of anything. Take some time to read a fukking book.


We can start here.

O, that thing called the PC,
The layout for that city called D.C
Engineered lightbulbs to last longer

shyt even Wikipedia can help your Stupid ass out

[PeridotPuss]

White people gave you a culture after they took the one your ancestors had....

If you don't have your own language, then you don't really have a culture...

Black American culture is just European sub-culture...

False, language is not a point of division in cultures, Spanish is a good example of varying ethnicities/cultures and traditions speaking the same language.

I have been observing students in my classroom, and noticed that Black American students will easily make friends with White Americans before they make friends with a Black African...This is just a personal observations...I could be wrong...

But it makes sense...Black American culture is a sub-culture of American culture...Y'all think you are so different, but as an outsider I see things differently...

Your classroom observations are hardly sufficient evidence to formulate a solid opinion on a topic of this magnitude.

And if you wanted to discuss feeling ostracized by black Americans as an African American then just say so

 

[I Lord Justice]

So in grade school was it "bootyscratcher" or "dark-butt"?

 

[Bless't]

Nope, just about to leave this Italian joint.

Italian joint? What's that mean?

 

[IllmaticDelta]

Will answer all your questions

What is Black American Culture? (inspired by The Salon)

Refuting the myth that Black American music/culture is "Europeanized".

Defining the "African-American"

 

[Londilon]

Italian joint? What's that mean?

talk to cacs, brehs

 

[bogey_j]

I won't say aint ANY good American women, but depending where you live good luck finding one. In NY if you don't get you a fresh foreign bytch, at least find one who 2nd generation who grew up with strong moraIs. I got me a foreign. Grass is green as hell on this side!

where's your girl from breh?

 

[Bless't]

talk to cacs, brehs

Breh, stop. You're exhausting. You win. I'm an evil devil. A dog french kissing, hot dog smelling, no wash cloth using, culture stealing, non melanin having ass dude.

I get it my breh.

 

[nineteeneightysix]

Its actually a good question.......... then I began to read the O.P.'s initial post......

No need to engage in this...

But you did...

You just don't have a rebuttal....Y'all getting all emotional instead of answering the question...

Black America is a sub-culture of White America...You don't have a language, you believe in the same things (generally speaking)...

1) Take raising children for example,
Whether white or black you believe a child reaches a certain age, typically 18, he goes to college and makes his own way...Thus, in America both black and whites laugh at men who are still living with their parents...In other parts of the world that is perfectly normal especially for the 1st born male...

2) Take marriage for another example, boy meets girl....They date for awhile...Move in together...Get engaged...Get married...Same ritual for blacks and whites..

I could go on...Take away skin coloration and the differences between Black Americans vs White Americans are NEGLIGIBLE...Because the things that really separate Black Americans from White Africans also separate Black Americans from the South from Black Americans from the North...

For the things that count, you all have the same culture...So, Black America is composed of various sub-cultures (same for White America), but the main branch is White American culture...

Your average Black American has more in common, culturally speaking, with your average White American than any other group of people in the world...

It is easier for an outsider to see observe this...We are not biased by years of oppression and racism...
