What are your views of black culture?

what are your views on Spanish culture?

Would you like a written thesis? How do you answer this?

As a white guy, I probably shouldn’t even speak for black guys.

Spanish as in Euro spanish or or spanish speaking cultures, such as Mexicans, people from PR, People from Cuba, DR, South America? please be more specific. Or how bout ask the question and I will answer it there for sake of the purity of my thread. thanks

-MisterBlueSky, A written thesis would be great, have it on my desk my noon monday. lol. As a white guy, a blue guy or purple guy, I’d like your views on black culture the problems with it, the stereotypes you’ve heard. Anything! I love to communicate with people, it gets me pumped up, and I like to hear different views from mature intellectuals.

I like to see black people doing their jazz and break dancing.(if this answers to ur question)

ok so here its is. My wife and I just got back from seeing a move at Atlantic station in Atlanta georgia and I will never go see a movie there on Friday night again. I’m a white male from small town MN and there was like 3 black kids in my school. Now I live in a city that is like 60–40 black to white and I have met some really effing cool black people. But as for the stereotypical black ” thug” wannabe culture is disgusting. For the most part they are rude, militant, self righteous’ look at all shit I bought and how rich i am on credit arrogant assholes that I’ve ever met. They are more mad at me because I’m white before I even considered them but then they walk past give me the white boy up and down and I just want to punch them. I don’t understand the being on the feel phone talking as loud as possible in public, hyper masculinity, holding their saggy ass pants up by the crotch, mesogonistic attitude, ” damn girl you got that phat ass” way. Right now I’m a little

I’m not a biggot or racist by any means but if you don’t want to be stereotyped than quit living up to it.

I just see culture.

geez curtain call. i’m speechless. u let it rip 4realz…..

well I’m sorry if it seemed brutal I was just being honest. The thing is nobody will ever say it and don’t get me wrong, its not just black people its anybody that acts like that ie: rich white people, white trash, etc…

Ok.
I’ve been watching this question “float around the bowl”, so to speak, since last night but enough is enough.
Here’s the problem (well, ONE of) with this question:
WHAT IN THE HELL IS BLACK CULTURE ANYWAY? Define it concisely in a way that this question has real merit and a real answer and I’ll hand you a Nobel prize myself.

@ GD Kimble- African American culture is the result of african and european customs and traditions, making a completley different community of people than anywhere else in the world. New versions of food, holidays, and marriage ceremonies. I want to know peoples view of the dress, speech, and family structure.

But this is my question, how about you make your own asking “what in the hell is black culture anyway?”

keep the nobel prize, just give me the hundred thousand. lol

You’ve missed my point.
The lack of specificity in the original question suggests that Black culture is some homogeneous entity, as if to suggest that all Black people are alike in traditions, mode, lifestyle, and outlook. There is an enormous range of culture(s) within the Black community in this country.
The structure of your question oversimplifies Black culture and posits it as a singular quantifiable “thing” to be held up to some sort of scrutiny of it’s quality, which would mean the sum total of the African American diaspora can be critiqued with “It’s good.” or “It’s bad.”
Also, asking about it’s effect on “main(stream) [My addition] society”, only contributes to the overarching problem. It furthers the “us v. them” mentality that continues to cripple this nation, and I don’t use “versus” as solely an indicator of hostility or conflict. Here, I refer to strictly binary thinking.
My point is simply: by asking people to offer opinion on Black Culture, you’re asking them to continue not embracing it as an aspect of their own (American) culture… and perhaps most sinister, you’re inadvertently asking people to offer opinion on Black PEOPLE—as referenced by the above “representative” sample of—- “rude, militant, self righteous’ look at all shit I bought and how rich i am on credit arrogant assholes that I’ve ever met”, prefaced by the requisite disclaimer of knowing that there are “cool” Black people out there, as if to say that kind of behavior is somehow inherent to the culture.
However (I assume) well-intentioned your question may be, I was a little disheartened by the way it was asked.

@GD Kimble My question was intended to beg people perspectives. examples of experiences with it growing up, cohabitation, or perhaps intimate relationships. and mainstream society ignores alot of demographics. i.e. women in powerful positions, homosexuals, and people from rural communities are not “kosher” enough for national attention.
So I feel that someONE’s perspective of black american culture is a singular quantifiable thing that can be answered by my question.

black people are the shiizz
