    • By black culture are we talking about food or what?monospaced
    • ^ Seriously?mort_
    • somehow it sounds as if black people were not part of this America... or do they not love themselves, only their culture?rzu-rzu
    • White America rzu-rzumort_
    • figured that, but the word is missing from the message :) probably would sound racist, still does but one has to look twicerzu-rzu
    • shouldn't it say "it loves" instead of "they love"?rzu-rzu
    • @mort, yeah, what do you think they’re saying that white people like from black culture?monospaced
    • Music? Sure, I guess. Food? I suppose. So much of it is intertwined with other cultures in America so the boundaries aren’t that solid.monospaced
    • Music absolutely. Jazz, blues, rock n roll, disco, house, techno, jungle, hip-hop, funk, soul, how fucking dull would music be? I guess.mort_
    • *not an exhaustive list by farmort_
    • LOL @ I guess black music has been historically important in America. I guess so, sure.canoe
    • ^ Detroit folks know this!mort_
    • Miles Davis was a genius, played trumpet. Modern trumpet to be accurate, invented by Heinrich Stölzel and Friedrich Blühmel.rzu-rzu
    • cultures evolved because they've "appropriated" things from other culturesrzu-rzu
    • I recognize that jazz, blues and some other music has origins in black culture, but it’s not solely there’s either.monospaced
    • I played saxophone in jazz bands for many years growing up and worshipped the blues and jazz greats.monospaced
    • Are we saying all those genres you listed were solely from black culture? I would disagree for insanely obvious reasons.monospaced

    • I got the point of this image right away. But I'm not American. It's interesting that it's not obvious to others.mort_
    • (Jungle was a UK invention - accidentally included it)mort_
    • mono, the genres came from black culture, black musicians. Slavery had a huge hand in the blues. There was Little Richard before Elvis.mort_
