When it is all said and done it is just entertainment lets ask the question have any one actually heard the lyrics from a Fall out boy song or how about Iron Maiden, AC/DC i mean come on it just music but with those heads it is about politics and in addition you have more white girls and boys dressing and acting black and listening to rap music more than any
the Audience can draw that up by looking at Justin Timberlake and Kevin Federline just to name a few.... and Rap has gone worldwide you have now Russian rappers, Middle Eastern rappers as well as other acts rapping in the language of their people is that it is scaring the shyt out of the Elite......The young white population in Memphis Tennessee are beginning to throw away the Elvis Presley memorabilla and taking hajj to Brooklyn, NY, Miami, Fl, Compton, and Long Beach, CA wearing basketball sneakers, gaudy jewelry fronts and all that sneak in "nigga" here and there saying im Spanish or Mixed as a quick cover up.
besides if the David Banners and 50cents got on the Opera Winfrey Show them white women would be lusting for those brothers.
Natives (across the globe) prior to christianity didn't have the same behavior patterns, arts, beliefs, institutions, etc, thus they didn't have the same "culture"
Everything other than the christianity isn't black culture.
Every "black" person doesn't see success as oprah sees it or that idea of "oprah" success.
you just repeated what i already said. and my argument holds for all cultures that aren't part of the capitalist/christian order (yes most of the world) which is why i extended that generalization... now respond to the points i made without nitpicking the trivial semantics.

I asked what "Black Culture" is and still no answer. There's no answer because you really don't know what "Black Culture" is.
I didn't ask about any other culture except for "Black Culture" and you want to lump everything together as if everybody practiced the same culture around the globe...they didn't.
Just in case you missed the question the first time, here it is again, "What Is Black Culture?"
go back read every post where i reference "black culture" and you'll see that the above explanation is applicable. in so far as various cultures can be grouped together according to characteristics that distinguish them from the dominant capitalist/christian culture, namely that the culture is neither monotheistic nor embodies the will of the global free market, then yes we can speak of a "black culture," even if it's only in a metaphorical and not phenotypical sense of the word "black." and yes, all across the globe the actual and very diverse cultures that constitute "black culture" are being destroyed and/or replaced by the familiar dominant culture (which i sometimes refer to as "white" in shorthand).
but you're missing the forest for the trees. that was a minor point in a larger argument about how black people are basically fucked: retain your traditional cultural values and be disadvantaged when it comes to succeeding in a white world or act in accordance to how white people expect you to act and lose your culture. you can't have it both ways.

Humans walked the earth enjoying great civilizations 10s of thousands of years before anyone ever seen a white race. We had some albinos scattered about but not a complete race of whites.
White culture is xenophobic, materialistic, and patriarical. Black (and I hate to use that word in this text but I use it for reference sake) culture is xenophiliac (spelling), spiritual, and matriarical. That's the difference.
When I say materialistic, I mean that they focus on the flesh before the spirit as a culture. Just look at America. When I say spiritual, I mean that we are so-called superstitious and focus on the unseen to describe the seen as a culture.
Does this answer your question?

Black culture is activites heavenly connected/associated/originated within our community here in the UNITED STATES.
A prime example is HIPHOP, bloods & crips, etc
Black culture goes beyond the traditional history/heritage of African American lineage
In this aspect, black culture will only be used in the American society.
When thinking of black culture think of it in modern day form: PRESENT which may be incorrect to say
