Original post by BeyoncstanAfrican American culture is ORIGINAL! WE created out culture in this country unique from European influence. That's what makes our culture so great is it's 100% and is very destint. Most American culture was invented by African Americans. Most popular modern music, dance, slang, urban culture was invented by African Americans! For some reason the entire world loves to copy Black American culture.
You probably don't know this but African Americans invented Gospel, Rock n Roll, Pop, Dicso, Jazz, Blues, RnB, House, Funk, Soul, Rock, Neo-Soul , Swing, etc... I think the only modern genre we didn't create was country.
African Americans also invented contemporary dance and hip hop dance the most popular forms today.
There is no singer African American culture either. It's geographical~ Most black culture comes from teh American South, where 50% of African Americans live but each area has a sub culture: Atlanta, Houston, Dallas, Memphis, Charlotte, Miami etc... Then you have Black mega cities New York, Los Angele's, North California (Oakland), Chicago, Washington DC etc...
New York dominated African American culure in form 1900-1950, then Detriot 50s' 60's, then Washington DC (known as chocolate city), then South Los Angeles in the 90's and Atlanta is the modern capital of Black America.
