        American has no culture so they spend their time being pressed about everyone else's culture like their opinions about it matter.

        Thank you. That's what I meant. African Americans do have culture but White Americans don't so they pick apart everyone else's.

        White America has a culture, it's just boring and based on owning slaves. Saying otherwise suggests white is neutral & "normal"

        whites culture is based on stealing, tweaking other cultures and calling it their own.
