From what I observe, the “black culture” is totally and exclusively obsessed with race.
Paging through an “Essence” magazine (target audience is black women), all one will see are angry race based articles and ads centered on the reader’s “blackness”.
Hey, folks, there are other topics and issues in this world!
I believe that if someone characterizes themselves as “African-American”, they should make a choice which continent they want to live in and assimilate that culture.
