Should people go out of their way to accept black culture

Yeah alright, I never said they did, I said they had respect for it.

But whatever, I'm not a black youth in Brixton, I didn't have a ****** up youth where da po-leese harassed me, my parents didn't let me skive off school and I didn't start drinking when I was 10 years old, what would I know about how some people have to put up with in life

I guess as a middle class eurasian I have to have respect for a culture that I find nothing in common with and almost everything to despise. Otherwise, I'm racist, right

In all fairness, again, you're just generalising. Obviously if all black culture and black people were like the above, then fair enough. Though most of them are just as respectable and law abiding as you and I.

Culture does not equal circumstance.

Are you just jealous you're not as sexy as Thierry Henry?

Just get over it, you're so ridiculous

I'm amazed that there are people actually trying to deny that criminality, misogyny, violence and other distasteful elements are glamorised in mainstream black culture.

Obviously, it's not solely a black cultural trait, but it's far more prominent than most of the various Western white cultures.

I have to sleep now, 2.30 nights every day are killing me, I'd ujst like to say one thing;

Not necessarily that of Sub-saharan Africa itself but of the westernised forms in America and here. Just seems vile mostly to be frank.

Black culture does not begin and end with gangsta rap.

Of course not, although that's doubtlessly the most popular facet of their culture. But it's fairly pervasive throughout other examples. Various elements of Hip hop, as well as Grime, R&B etc. Even black film is often also aimed at those values. It's no shock that Kidulthood (and, with it, Adulthood) are two of the most successful recent media products to have come from that scene.

Wow someones on a race hate roll tonight arent they, this is the second post youre trying to incite arguments over race on

materialism, total obsession with sex, pursuit of dominance, crudeness, low on rational debate, ridiculous slogans

I dont think it is race hate. Its the culture and the values of the westernised form not a fault of Africans in their own environment

I don't get why people can't accept black people. There's nothing wrong with them. They are just like everyone else, they have pros and cons. I think it's sad that some people are still racist today.

This describes most white people too.
