I'm glad I got an answer to my question though. I've been getting ducked by most of the time.
Not knowing what something means....is an educational problem.

Where do you live? Even Mayberry had black people as extras in some scenes.

You don't even know what white culture means.........so what does it matter where I live......you probably would not even know where it is.

Whats the difference in black culture and white culture? Where I am from black and white live in the same neighborhoods, work at the same companies, go to the same schools, community activities, festivals, concerts, play the same sports, shop at the same stores, eat the same food, celebrate the same holidays.
So educate me.

Of course not every single one. Let's use a top school that is purely merit based and doesn't use AA, and see how many black people can get in.

Do you see black people there?

Racial breakdown:
Asian:73.4%
White:20.5%
Hispanic:2.6%

Well, actually, it's considered fine & dandy, UNTIL it's a white person's idea, in which case, it's always automatically bad: (skip to 4:15) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sAFDBZywPc0

I bet you don't vote the same.....is not Tennessee a red state? Are not blacks mostly blue? The reason whites vote differently in the south, than blacks, is because of either differences related to culture and or race. If your values and beliefs were truly the same....you would be voting the same. No?

Blacks in the south LEARNED from whites. That was their only template, as culture is a LEARNED behavior and blacks were stripped of their culture from Africa. So even during slavery.....you could say that blacks and whites in the south had the same culture. Thus, why was there such a big distinction between the races if there was no difference, during the height of segregation?

Whatever it is that creates the difference......it what I seek an escape from .

Its funny, hahahaha funny, also that "white culture" is not identifiable but everyone seems to be able to define "black culture" as being a problem and bad.

I'm not arguing your premise just the sweeping generalization of "all".

Admission criteria based solely on merit would of course show Asians and whites with the highest numbers. They have the highest IQs on average.
