But here's where I call bs on her. She is married to a bm and supposedly has three children by him. To say that based on race alone people act a certain way is ignorant as fuck. This is the kind of bullshit that gets men like me locked up for crimes we didn't commit because people would easily assume "well he's black and you know how they are"
It just makes me sick.
I said none of that. That is your assumption. I said what I think black culture is before and stereotypes had nothing to do with it. Let me find what I said.
Black culture is African American culture. The culture of US black slaves and their descendants although it has been influenced by other black cultures that have immigrated to the US like hip hop has some origins in the Caribbean.
What is black culture.
Black culture is a rich history from the altantic slave trade to the civil rights era. I don't want get in to the history to much we all know it or alesast we should.
Music, ragtime, jazz, blues, swing, r&b, rap, rock-n-roll, doo wop, soul, Hip Hop, hip house, new jack swing, go go, house music, neo soul. Oral tradition is part of AA culture. Spoken word, rhyming. Literature, Authors Langston Hughes, and Zora Nella Hurston, WEB DuBois, Booker T. Washington and many more. Books that have been made into movies such as Roots, the color purple. Dance such as suffel along, Charleston, Lindy hop, Jitterbug, cake walk, popping, locking, break dancing, krumping, stepping, and many more. Art like small drums, quilts, wrought -iron figures, and ceramic vessels. Black plays like Tyler Perrys. Black comedy clubs.
Religion, although Africans were stripped of their own religions and Christianity was forced upon them Africans were able to secretly hold onto some African traditions during worship like including dance, shouts, African rhythms, and enthusiastic singing. Their is spirituals like Lift every voice and sing. There is inventors like Madam C. J. Walker, George Washington Carver, Lewis Latimer, Otis, Boykin
Fashion like Urban fashion, AA swagger. On Sundays AA's dress in dressy suits and clothes and AA women wear big hats. Cuisine. Soul fool exist most of Southern foods but some things are more exclusive or originated in Africa like Okra and melons. Chitterlings, pigs feet, using ham hocks, and neck bones for seasoning in greens and beans. Hoping John from AA's.
There is languages like Creole, and Gullah, and Ebonics. Many AA's also have accent unique to AA's. There is UNIA, NACCP, Nation of Islam, Black power, Black Arts Movement. Jumping the broom. Politics like most AA's are Democratic. The black experience.
Holidays, Black History Month, Martin Luther King Jr B-D, Black music month, Juneteeth, Kwanzaa. Black hair is a major part of the culture. African American hairstyles, Afro, dreads, fade, braids, finger curls, stacks, wedges, twist. Wigs, hot combed, straighter, hot iron, the millions of hair products, curlers, extensions, etc. AA's have a unique bond with other AA's although this is contributed to AA culture and the black experience it also goes back to slavery like calling each other family names even when their not family. There are names that are more often found among AA's some of these come from Africa. There is things like looking out for the neighboorhood kids.
