@TheJen @StillIRise1963 Do non-racist white people really have a culture?? Asking for a non-racist whitish person…I kinda think we just stole everyone else’s.

There is no such thing as "white culture".

There's Scandinavian culture.
There French culture.
There's German culture.
There's Italian culture.

Et al

But "white culture" is nothing more than a dogwhistle for racists.

And yes, they co-opt other cultures and pervert them.

And note that I did not include the US in my list.

That's because American culture is Black culture.

NASCAR ( Non Athletic Sport Centered Around Rednecks)
Does have like 3 or four brothers that drive. . . Still white AF though.

There is a not insignificant number of Black Americans who are fans of NASCAR.

Anyway, this conversation is dumb.

If you don't know that very large numbers of Black folks came west after emancipation and worked as cowboys, contributed greatly to western culture, you don't get to have this conversation on my timeline.

Get out.
