If we wanna keep it funky, there wouldn't be an American culture without African American (DOCS) influence. Everything that's been done, goes back to what our ancestors did hundreds of years ago. Everything from Language, Music, Art, Food, Dance, Literature, Academics, Mechanics, Science, etc.

Other descendants of slaves throughout the diaspora.

What is unique to AA history that brings about the culture question?

We've been here for centuries. As the minority. Which is quite the opposite from other DOS cultures from the diaspora, IMO.

Someone else here said it best, we are much more removed from African cultures. We've retained some, some obvious, other lesser still. Added in an interaction with european/white culture that IMO was different from other parts of the diaspora allowed for new traditions to be formed.

That's all new world blacks which is the creolization process

True. On a grand scale its, its still quite different.

I believe our adaption is more complex. Especially given the initial creation of the country. Also the climate.

And I’m speaking on all new world descendants of slaves from Africa.

Once again. What is unique about AA history, that brings about the culture question?

Again... what group in the diaspora? Give me an example.. I asked for a specific group...

Most of the Latin American diaspora have been minority’s within their respective countries as well.

And in what way are you measuring our “removal” from African culture compared to the rest of the diaspora?

How would you say the interaction was different in AA’s case?

BTW, not trying to be difficult, when it comes to this topic I rather people go into a lil more detail so I can know exactly where they’re coming from.

Let me just say this... I whole heartedly believe that that the culture of those who colonized America extremely influenced the public policy that was created to oppress and disenfranche AAs

Suggestions for American Black culture?

let's us know where he's heading but it's going to end up blowing up in his face when we bring up violence and crime in latin america/west indies/african countries [sarcasm]with actual cultures[/sarcasm]

Explain how this will blow up in my face... and explain where I initially brought up violence as a cultural point of reference.....

Only difference was the ratio of whites to blacks but the creolization process was pretty much the same.
