How African music made it big in Colombia

When they gonna start showing love to the African descendants living there though

Colombian films do star their black populace in films and has some popular black musicians.You even see this in American films as well.

A question about that.

I hear a lot about Brazil having the largest black population in the Americas, but only 7% of the country identifies as black. That's only about 14 million people. The rest is either white or mix (pardo). Where does Brazil having the largest black population in the Americas come from?

As for colombia, it's the third largest after us and Brazil.

@Malta, @horse. kills could you chime in?

Why does @Amphibious always 1star threads that compliment black accomplishments?

I could be wrong, but one thing that I noticed about the Japanese is that when they imitate different cultures it's because they have a genuine interest in it. While when whites do it it's usually stealing and mocking.

You're not wrong at all, and it's not just Japs it's all Asians.

I was wondering the same, but I didn't want to say the wrong thing. I noticed that with whites regardless of where they are from they copy it to steal or mock it. I mostly see the Japanese liking different cultures and bringing it into their own while giving appreciating.

Yup, whites usually mock it at first, say it sucks then a few years later they'll claim it's a new white invention all while calling you an inferior n1gg3r incapable of making good music, it don't matter whether they're from Russia or Boston, same shyt.
