I am a black British Jamacian. Myself an American friend were having a conversation. He was speaking down, i mean real dirty on black American culture. I told him there is something very uniquely powerful about black Americans. No matter who resists you are emulated relentlessly. He tried to shout me down on it saying there was something seriously wrong with black Americans. I must admit the convo got heated and i told him that he didnt realise the innate power that you hold to influence the world. I said " you dont even know how fking powerful your culture is do you? " its not simply the music it is your very essence! To hear him denigrate what he came from pissed me off so much that i had to cut him off. He really didnt realise the power you have IIve been lucky enough to travel the globe. Everywhere i have been there has been a distinct interest and apreciation of black American culture. Weather it be the african who i heard blatantly lie to an irish woman in ieland and aay he was from the states. To the ones with the fake accent, japanese hip-hop boys and girls with afros. Rapping french men, Caribbeans with sudo African american vernacular. Palestinian murials of notable FBA Civil rights leaders. There is a concerted effort to ensure you don't know or forget how brilliant you are.

Kpop isn’t for you it’s for Koreans it’s just not that great in general 😂 It’s not a rip off of black culture. Korea has strong ties with the USA so Kpop was based on American 90s pop and it became a thing in the 90s. While it’s true that in the past 6-7 years, the idols have incorporated hip hop culture into their aesthetic and music, the overall image and structure is still the same. In music people take from others and are inspired by others all of the time. The gate keeping that you’re trying to do is pathetic. People are sick and tired of the violent lyrics and the degeneracy of hip hop, the boring music and they want something new. Hence why hip hop and rap is getting less popular now. If the hot stuff comes from non black people, then so be it. Music has evolved and any student of the art can now easily replicate and improve on what black Americans have done. As for Koreans being racist against black culture that isn’t true. You can’t be racist against a culture, only people. We in Asia like black culture like African cultures. I really enjoyed my time in Kenya. I just hate black American culture. It’s genuinely garbage. The stealing of identity you see is people taking the god parts while leaving the bad. Why would you want ghetto culture to be your identity? It’s not good 😕 Generally older Asians just have problems with certain aspects of black American culture. Here, it’s not so much about your ethnicity, but your character. Black Americans mostly tend to have a certain character that we despise and is the complete opposite of our culture (being disrespectful, being loud, not following instructions, being ignorant, being perverted, not appreciating kindness, education etc). The fact that you’re also physically different to us makes it harder to relate. They don’t like Asians or whites with these traits either. With the older generation and people of upper classes you have to prove that you’re not any of these things. Once you have done that the vast majority will be warm and welcoming to you. It’s why black peoples who “act white” get along better with Asians than the ones who “act ghetto”. There’s just more common ground. Of course you will have people that do not care what you’re character is like, and will hate you or avoid you regardless because you are black and that’s all they see. I know people like this and that is pure racism. They don’t even care if you aren’t ghetto or if you have a good character you’re black so they hate you. A lot of these people had bad experiences with black people or are manipulated by media. Fortunately these racists are very small in number and don’t really have a platform since Japanese people don’t like political discussions and open racism. Hopefully this taught you about where kpop actually comes from and how we misunderstand each other. It is a character issue and not an ethnicity one.

I disagree I think it is some people, and not most. I have African parents and I was born in America. I think there is a lot of not having a full understanding of how the history of colonialism and slavery had similar BUT very different end results across the diaspora. For a very long time, American media has been broadcast loudly across the world so the understanding of what Black Americans are like to Africans and what Africans are like to Black Americans has many times not helped eliminate ignorance. It has also spread false perceptions of both experiences and cultures. Just as I heard tons of ignorant things from my parents (that I do correct, and over the years they have had a better understanding), I’ve heard ignorant things from Black Americans (not just African booty scratcher). I have family members that told me they did not want to identified as African and they would pretend to Black American with some people when they were younger. I invited a friend to visit my family’s home in Africa like two summers back, and she was told by a friend who works at the airport that the planes that go there usually stink (not a direct quote, something along those lines) and they ended up not coming ( I’ll be fair and say there were other conflicts as well). Anyway, running long here, I think there is A TON of miseducation still, but there are plenty of people on both sides of the world that do not have these terrible perceptions of the other.

As a Jamaican born guy who has lived in America most of my life, I realize that I stand here on the shoulders of giants, from both sides. African Americans/FBAs were pivotally instrumental in the laws that enabled my family to be here, to buy a house anywhere, to go to school anywhere, etc. for those of us born in another country we will always have a nuanced/complicated relationship with our adopted country and our home country. I agree with Godfrey’s point of view generally that those of us who are Black immigrants to the USA need to learn about the nation we are in. In 1991 as a kid it was harder. Now as an adult, with the internet and KZfaq there is a lot more out there, plus I’m more mature to learn what is not in the typical history book. I just feel like there is a lot of back and forth on who hates who, who works hardest, who is benefiting, etc. and not enough talking across. And because I have not done any research or surveys I will refrain from making sweeping statements about the differences people groups have. I guess if no one wants to get along, ain’t nobody a go get along. Peace!

Well, I’ve been in the Asian community for about 30 some years first, I had to love myself, and my people before I was able to interact with a different culture one thing that was revealed to me almost every time I have a conversation and became close to some of the Asian community, the reveal that the white men taught them how to hate us. It’s been a huge campaign all over the globe to hate us, and they teach them to stay away from us all over the globe I’m talking about I interact with Korean Chinese Vietnamese Cambodians, because I was in a martial art, and they all sing that same song they were taught racism

"Culture" is, what culture DOES. So our culture (NO culture) can be only about music and art. It must also be about business, etc. I won't reveal it here, but there are ways for us to take total control of our culture. Unless we do, we will continue wringing our hands while others ring their registers from what we have produced.

I would be curious to how that would work. Not saying it's not possible but I don't believe it's possible by conventional means. Investing, Building etc. We've tried that over and over again. They can literally just take it or burn it down over night. We have to decide, either this entity we've been dealing with for over 400 years is our friend or our enemy. Do you think money is power? Only power is power. Peace.

@@DarkBlackMagic @DarkBlackMagic I am happy to discuss the basic parameters of its workings with you, as you have posed a valid question and cited observations with which I undoubtedly agree. To answer your question, I believe that money is but one means to power. "Power" is derived from a number of sources. But in our capitalist, consumerist culture, money is a major mechanism of power. I would tweak one of your assertions; that everything "conventional" has already been "tried"..."over and over again". In a longer historical sense that's true. But not true in the context of more recent history.
