You are still not getting it. Black British is a not a culture. There are many cultures of people who have black skin in Britain.

Is there really only one white culture in the USA?



Surely not.

I feel like we're going around in circles talking about everyone's different definitions of culture/race............"you're talking about CULTURE, not race ! !!"

I think we could sit here for years and say, "Your definition of culture isn't the same as my definition of said culture." OK.

I kind of agree with this but at the same time I much prefer to live amongst my own and with those who are in my own comfort zone.

Every cultural artifact anywhere is most often stolen or borrowed. Where do black folk whose cradle language is English get it from? Not from Africa originally. The human race is a race of mutts and there is not a speck of racial or cultural purity anywhere to be found.

We are all mutts, every last one of us.

We all bleed red and sh*t brown.

Nacho cheese from White Castle will do the same. For that though, the reason why the defecation is green is, if I remember correctly, having too high a concentration of fat in the food for the bile to process completely or something like that.

G-gap topic

Do Aspies dislike Black culture? I have no idea, as I have not interviewed every Aspie. :roll:

If the OP is speaking about the rap music, I find it is more of a young people's choice. I liked the early hip hop stuff at the beginning of the 90s, but it lost me in a few years. Too many songs. I prefer words that I can understand. Some lyrics are just too different.

Musical taste is subjective. What I like is not what many others would listen to or watch. My teens like rap music, as they can understand it better. 8)

Wow, after two pages of postings I got bored...

Skafather again I am in agreement.

Hanotaux, I'm sorry but you come across as fairly ignorant, but perhaps there are no African Americans in your community, you mention 'bussing' them in... look beyond the surface, everything you mention is fairly superficial...

Anyone of any race is capable of anything it just depends on a set of variables, where you were born, what level of 'functionality' and stability your family provides, social status, economic status etc.. and of course an individuals natural talents or lack thereof...

Check out the life story of Paul Robeson, educated, talented, enlightened and African American, the man sang opera and musicals, was a qualified Lawyer and a College football star and was an African American

I think perhaps you are really just a dreadful suburban snob and you certainly seem to have a negative racial predjudice, pity really, you will lead a poorer life...

If AS and black culture don't mix, what happens to black AS people?

There is no monolithic and identifiable "Black Culture". The genes for melanin do not determine folkways, customs or cultural values. Any Black Culture, such as being urban, American, black and generally underclass is an historical accidental matter not inherently linked to the racial characteristics of those who are identified as black.

The genes for base melanin production only determine the likelihood of skin cancer. It is rather what people assume and teach their children about others with lighter or darker skin that actually determine the cultural xenophobia and persecution complexes which are developed by nurture rather than by nature.

That is culture doing its grim work.

Honestly, I'm NOT racist. But I seem to have a worse & worse experience with every black person I meet in Hamilton County, OH, USA. So do the other Aspie men I met here back in 2002. I get extremely offended when they call me a motherf***er or a b****. I didn't never have sex wit my mom, and I am a MALE HUMAN BEING! & don't try to tell me it does not mean that. It DOES. I take everything to its most literal extreme. So do many (if not most) Aspies. But it seems that motherf***er & b**** are their universal words for EVERYONE, EVERYTHING, EVERYWHERE, all the time. Very offensive to Aspies. I wish there were more who cared and did not talk that s***. President Obama knows better, and so do most of the African-American politicians. I'd love to have a better experience with the African-American race. I just never count on having a better experience with them here. Because I get so mad at the way they mistreat me, I thought about joining the Imperial Klans of America. But, they are basically "the KKK", a white supremacy organization who hates ALL the non-Caucasian people in the WORLD. C'mon, man! I'm NOT that hateful! I get along with all races except African-American, that is, NT members of the African-American race who live in Hamilton County, OH, USA or frequent here.

In recent years, I've been trying to convince myself, these individuals in Hamilton County never give anyone a clear idea of who African-Americans really are. The "gangsta" culture is evident in the language & behavior of many, many African-American individuals in Hamilton County, OH. I'm most often seeing them on the buses, on the streets, at the Main Library in Downtown Cincinnati. I am the only Aspie who does not drive. ALL the other Aspies in this town drive. I also have sensory processing disorder so with my visual processing deficit my psychologist really doesn't want me driving. But I drove before & I was fine until I was too tired to drive most of the time. I think I should try to drive again. Even when I take a 2-hour bus ride out to the suburbs, I still hear them talking that s***. It's NOT cool when they call each other n***az. They're so quick with the name-calling. Because of that I'm armed with tear gas so that when I call them something offensive in return and they try to kill me, I can save myself. Now don't get me wrong - I'm NOT referring to the entire race everywhere. I'm ONLY referring to the black NTs that piss me off here in Hamilton County, OH, USA, NOWHERE ELSE. When I ignore them, they persist. They even reach out & touch me. I can't stand that! I often risk being thrown out of my public library because my "go away" gesture is often taken as me taking a swing when really I make the gesture with an open hand, NOT a fist.

I wish black NTs would change the way they treat Aspies. More & more black ppl are finding out they themselves have AS or another autism spectrum disorder. But in this county, black people KILL each other (and anyone else they're mad at) 365 nights a year. So, I expect there to be ZERO black autistic people in Hamilton County, OH, USA. If there are any here, and they're on WP, please know that I am NOT referring to them in a negative context.
