But I said to him "Nah, America was just the first to be eaten by the Amoeba." And same with white culture, I think.

Ever listened to "American Pie"? It's all about white American culture being devoured by a new, modernized, commercial culture.

And ironically, a lot of what devoured Don MacLean's America was derived from black American culture.

I think the real force devouring all the cultures is not controlled by white people, or Americans, or any group. It's its own force.

Yeah, I agree. I mean it's just people's natural inclination to mimicry I think. It's like... how we work as a species to some degree.

The complaint, of course, is white people and Americans maybe unfairly harnessing/monetizing that force. But I think you're basically right.

Do you think inroads are being made on the monetization thing? More production companies owned by black ppl?

Maybe? Whether we're moving forward or backwards on that overall depends on your pov on viral/popular social media content by poc I think.
