Well my black friend from Barbados though the American blacks were crazy.
This is a good article. Well written and very pro-American.
Thanks for posting.
There is no black culture. There are several, perhaps numerous, black subcultures.
The black subculture presently attempting relevance as a political force is the black jock subculture.
Surely, some of rock’s evolution is from country music as well, even if only a tiny bit, Gene Vincent, rockabilly, blue grass... it’s not a one way street and there is a book on this, I believe called “Dixie Lullaby”, they make the point that the music has fed off each other.
American black culture has become a horrible cesspool, it’s disgusting.
I completely reject black ghetto culture and values, they are very anti-American.
What is American Culture? Time for a patriotic moment!

There is no Black American culture without our tax money to pay for it.
And vice versa.
America had a culture from the start, the culture of its founding people. Anglo-Saxon WASP culture. It wasn’t loud, colorful and obnoxious, but it was real.
The problem is that this ghetto culture today is probably our number one export to the globe.

There are very significant similarities between what you call “culture” in Kinshasa, Maputo, Port au Prince, and Detroit, the first three having had slight to zero American influence.
