@WaffleLettuce@octo_tak0o0 Y'all love hating on mixed people so much. It's like trending these days, I don't get it. Like it makes you feel good ? Powerful perhaps? Because she can embrace her black side too.
@NathanForest66@nasalcrook@hermitsign 1) blues is fundamentally rooted in African American musical traditions
2) Africans had musical instruments long before European colonization
3) early blues didn't even require instruments
4) facts don't care abt ur feelings
@junechaelas@nasalcrook@hermitsign Because I'm African, oh my god.
I'm explaining everything from an African pov. YES black Americans have built their own culture ABSOLUTELY different from mine for example. I said **they** because I'm not one of them. I'm 100% African.
@NathanForest66@nasalcrook@hermitsign Read everything again. **They**
I am not black American. Just stating facts...you have hundreds of literature about black American culture. I'm just stating facts.
@loc12321@feydkaiser No. That means that there isn't a "white culture". EACH country have their own culture, with different ethnic groups even, with different traditions. They built independently, and have kept their culture for thousands of years. FOUGHT eachother to defend it.
@loc12321@feydkaiser So you really know nothing about Europe at all...they themselves explicitly recognize their cultural diversity. The EU's literal motto is "united in diversity". They have national, regional ethnic traditions that they have historically distinguished and preserved. Stop larping.
@loc12321@feydkaiser Not gonna lie. I'm not even white but calling it white culture is so generalising and that just shows that you must not know much about Europeans at all. It's really bigger than just "white culture".
@nasalcrook@hermitsign Black Americans built a different culture from real Africans obviously. They have different songs, values, clothings. They're even creating their own movement and explicitly separate themselves from African cultures. So yes they don't feel entitled to African culture.
