Why do AA's pretend to have their own culture?

Not kickback from California, but just Kick. He's from Charleston SC and he's back as Toadstool.

What culture are you talking about? Sagging pants and slang(jail culture not black culture)? Or Harriet Tubman freeing the slaves? Or are you just trying to insult us here. What is culture? As if whites created everything. The culture of yesterday is not the culture of today so culture is always evolving. We don't drink out of wells, we use faucets.

Your right – if you came to the UK you’d fit right in because popular AA culture has been emulated with a sense of pride.
Personally, I have become disillusioned with African culture because they also seem to emulate AA culture here in the UK – they even talk like AA’s LOL...saaad.
Hey; we don’t emulate your food though – we still love our Rice an Pease an Chicken an Tings..
Btw - I haven’t got a clue what white American culture is – can some describe it please...

LOL!!
People out here think they're Jamaican. Some of them do and i pisses me of. Especially when they us the words in the wrong context.

I know you are not as ignorant as you seem, so I will forgive you. The question asks SPECIFICALLY about AFRICAN AMERICANS, they did not question the culture of all people of African origin. Therefore I do not want you to give me examples based on what all Europeans have done, just like I would not give you examples based on the cultures of the Wolof, Fulani or Yoruba people. DOnt worry though, I will continue to wait for an asnswer.

It must be weird to be white, and preoccupied 100% of the time with Black people. White people are so determined to tell us how meaningless we are in comparison to them... meanwhile, the Chinese have mortgaged this country.
There is no superior race of humans on this earth. Different groups of people become dominant for a variety of reasons, their culture reaches it's peak, then declines. The Western European era of global dominance that began in the 1400's is rapidly coming to an end. 600 years white people "ran the world". Big freaking deal.

White's influence is declining because they are dealing with other people too much of their own free will. Some because of greed and some because they actually think we can all deal with each other equally on this earth. They are allowing masses of people into their nations willingly. People aren't taking things away from them by force of violence. They are giving it away. They don't get it.

I'll do this for you,

how many people in and out of the African Diaspora pray to jesus or allah or some variation? How many believe in democracy, individualism, individual freedom, the techno-order? How many use the banking systems as their method of resource? How many go to the european for their "individual" or "national" material wealth? How many fight in wars for the european?

Here something small, how many fry and dye their hair, wear long haired wigs (how many wear Afro wigs), wear european dress, refuse to integrate with whites, or hate white folk period?

there are many other examples of blacks absorbed into euro dominated culture but that's not your focus. You are an integrationist.
