Without Black culture, America would be beige. No rhythm, no flavor, no soul. We’ve set the trends, the sounds, the style, and the slang. Take us out of the equation, and the whole place gets a lot more boring. Alright bye.
So what’s our hot takes?

No literally. What especially makes me annoyed is when people hate something when black people or people of color have or do but when a white person does it then it’s a trend. Like big lips, “fox eyes”, tan skin, etc

Black people aren’t the gatekeepers of culture. Hispanic, Asian, and white cultures also shape what America is today TOO. There are places with little to no Black culture that are doing just fine. Saying otherwise feels really harmful and dismissive. We all borrow from one another. We ALL contribute to America.

Recognizing Black culture’s impact isn’t dismissing others 😒 it’s about giving credit where it’s due. From jazz, blues, and hip hop to slang, fashion, and dance, Black creativity has shaped America’s identity. Much of it was created under oppression, yet it still became the blueprint others have stolen and profited from cause… “borrow” nahh. That history matters.

You can recognize the impact Black culture has had on America without putting down other cultures.

Giving Black culture its credit isn’t an attack on other cultures. If acknowledgment feels like a put-down to you, that says more about your insecurity than my statement. Anyways I know how y’all can get in here so toodles 😗 have the day you deserve.

This is the part where you attacked other cultures. I’m all for giving black culture credit but don’t discredit others. You never see the other cultures making most like these even though they’ve had huge parts in American culture too.

I don’t. But white people are plain as fuck and have no sense of style or flavor or anything. We used to boil chicken and that was it

It’s pretty obvious you boil chicken with a teaspoon of salt

I’m sorry your cooking is that bland. If salt is the only thing your palate knows, that’s tough. No shame in asking for help though. I’ll gladly send you some recipes. 😊

What about Spanish, Italian, Irish? They’re beige? Like I agree acknowledging black culture has had a huge impact is not inherently putting down other cultures. It’s where you call everyone else beige, boring, where you bring down other cultures. Like yes America wouldn’t be as rich in culture if black people had no influence. I just don’t get why people have to get so nasty about it. Like they want to cause arguments…

My cooking isn’t bland because I know that other cultures created seasonings. All white people did was steal and rape

Sis do you need to retake history class? Everyone’s race/ culture has raped, enlslaved and conquered at some point.
