There is no such thing as White American' culture, we are all immigrants from some other country, England, Sweden, Ireland, Denmark, Germany....I mean.....What the hell is wrong with people. Skin color is irrelevent.....people are people. DD
Cities remain pretty heavily segregated already — it’s what people choose to do. You’ve all seen the racial demographic maps. Most races aspire to move into the safe neighborhoods with good schools… which are almost always majority white locations. GOOD DAY
This isn't true. We are certainly all descendants of immigrants, but the idea that there is no "white american" culture is ridiculous and demonstrably false. Culture isn’t limited to where your ancestors came from, it’s shaped by generations of shared experience, values, traditions, and contributions to society. White Americans have played a major role in shaping everything from music, to food (barbecue, casseroles, diner culture), to fashion (blue jeans, work boots, Western wear), to values like so called rugged individualism, religious conservatism, etc. These things aren’t simply imported from England or Germany or wherever your ancestors may have come from, they’ve been created, adapted, and uniquely lived out here in America. You can't go to any European country and see replicas of how Americans celebrate holidays, how we do meals, etc. Comedy, music, etc. it's all unique. Pretending that white people have no culture ignores reality and undermines a basic understanding of how culture forms. Every group in America has contributed to and developed its own version of American identity and that includes white Americans. Now certainly each different sub group in America borrows from each other, but they are all still unique in their own ways. Saying there is no white american culture because hundreds of years ago they came from Europe would be like saying black people have no unique cultural identity, just "Africa."
Obviously over generations a culture is formed. We love guns in this country. That's very different from most of Europe but the reverence of the second amendment very much cultural
This isn't a getting away from the city phenomenon, these people think they can exclude other races. It's not an area as much as it's a club. Im sure however no minorities we'll be fighting to be included
That's bullshit......there is no WHITE CULTURE......at all. There are white folks that have contributed to American culture, but their skin color has nothing to do with it. Unless you are talking about the KKK - which has a culture of racism. But calling something "White Culture" is disingenuous it all came from somewhere else.....and it usually has people of all races involved in it....everything you mentioned above can be attributed to any skin color...every single thing. Culture - would require a shared experience by all of a particular people, you are conflating pockets of stuff, and attributing it to white people....Music comes from all peoples.....BBQ is not uniquely white....nothing you said is unique or cultural at all. White people in the South had a far different experience than those in the North, so it isn't a culture, it is environmental..... DD
There is no British culture! People in London and people in Binghamtom have very different experiences! Your post is stupid.
I think the rub might be in trying to claim some monolithic American White Culture. I'm a white American, but watching the 2 minute news clip, those white Americans don't share much of culture with me. They espouse values I don't share, I don't like the way they dress or comport themselves, where they choose to live, or how the men relate to women and to one another. If I knew more than a 2-minute video clip, I'd probably find more ways that we are different than ways we are the same. Whatever white American culture they have is different from the one I have.
Those PEOPLE are not all WHITE - get it? Got it? GOOD ! Sure, British culture exists.......so does American culture.....there are contributors to that culture of every race.......come on man......catch up! DD
The point is...they are basing it on SKIN tone - when the reality is - that it is a culture of racism - not WHITENESS..... There is no WHITE culture - none - it doesn't exist. DD
The idea that there aren't unique race driven cultures that have emerged side by side is foolish. Not all white people are the same, certainly, just like all black people aren't the same. Black people in NYC have very different experiences than black people in Florida or Houston or LA. There are overarching cultural themes that have emerged and evolved for white america and black america and then there are subsets within those cultures. Race is a very unique cultural driver in America.
You are talking about RACISM - not culture. There is no CULTURE of a white race. Agree with you that race is a culture driver, but that is ignorance, and tolerance, more than culture. People being lied to about...."The White Race" is being destroyed, or is under attack, is really just a cover for - losing a white majority, which again is not culture, but power, and racism. DD
