>>105179941This is the odd thing, right? Black Americans have no actual culture. People typically need their own nation to develop a culture anyway (or rather, the two mutually develop with one another) but blacks are a subgroup of an existing nature that deprived them of the sovreignty under which cultures arise for more than half of their existence in the country. (Or rather, a little less than half now). The issue is that American culture is, in essence, inherently also the culture blacks have, as blacks are Americans. But the demographic majority excludes them from any legitimate claim to that culture (with reason, they weren't allowed to participate in its development for decades) so they're left without any real claim of their own. The US is too young a country, and then halve even that modest age for blacks, to expect them to have any sort of rigid cultural or societal norms as a minority demographic that exists within the governmental framework of other peoples.
Then consider most blacks are between 20 and 50% European from generational racemixing, and how they are typically denied legitimate connection to those cultures as well.
In another 400 years or so maybe an African-American "culture" will genuinely exist. Maybe longer, since it's not an actual nation. Maybe they'll go the way of Jews and, while not having their own land, settle entirely into social niches and dominate them.
