“All Cultures Are Equal”

You might as well say all types of fruit taste the same......it’s a stupid notion on the face of it.

“African culture” is not equal to “American culture” ———both are incredibly diverse.

“African culture” itself is not a monolith, as the African continent is home to thousands of distinct languages, tribes, religions, and traditions.

“American culture” is also not monolithic, with a wide variety of regional and ethnic subcultures, but it also has a mainstream that emphasizes individualism, future orientation, and practicality, as opposed to some traditional African cultures that may prioritize community, tradition, and fate.


Differences between African and American cultures

Diversity:
Africa: A continent with over 1,000 languages and diverse ethnic groups, religions, and traditions.
America: A melting pot of cultures from around the world, with its own diverse regions and ethnic subcultures.

Cultural values:
Africa: Traditional African cultures often emphasize community, group welfare, and tradition.
America: Mainstream American culture tends to emphasize
individualism, personal control, and practicality.

Social structure:
Africa: Hierarchical workplaces can be common in some African nations, where higher positions are earned through long tenure.
America: Social structures can vary, with individualism often being a core value.

Food and customs:
Africa: Local foods and traditional diets are more common in many parts of Africa, though processed foods are also becoming more common.

America: Processed and frozen foods are more common, and portion sizes tend to be larger.

Language:
Africa: Many different languages are spoken across the continent.

America: English is the dominant language, but many other languages are spoken throughout the country.

And, like any other debate with the commie trash if you object or even question you are condemned. After a while, you/we just give up talking — which was the goal all along.
