You're the one that jumped to a negative association with the statement "black culture".


No problem here I like soul food and southern food it's pretty clear that's what I was talking about.

In fact I think so too.
In Europe this wouldn't be necessary, since Europeans have their own distinct ( and rather rich cultures,) where American White culture is more *bland,* so Black culture definitely made its valuable input, in terms of jazz, "soul food," gospels, and "soul music" in general.
That's on a positive side.
On a negative side I don't find Black culture to be particularly compatible with "White American culture."

What are you talking about? What does Donald Trump have to do with anything I said? I am not here to discuss political affiliations or preferences!!! All I asked you was, that do you have a problem if Black people influenced the White culture of the Deep South? This is normal, since historically it was in the South of the U.S., that had a higher ratio of African-Americans, thus inevitably their presence would have an impact anyhow, despite the fact that racism in the form of slavery was enforced to always put them down, later came racial segregation and so on.

No problem.


You seem to have difficulty picking up subtleties that are obvious to most Americans.


What state do you live in?

True like Volker Pisper

Southern Germany is linguistically and culturally more similar to German-speaking Switzerland, Austria and German-speaking South Tyrol than to Central and Northern Germany!
While Northern Germany from a linguistically and cultural perspective is linked to the Netherlands, Scandinavia and Great Britain.

Sorry, for a moment I thought you were Ginger Strogonoff, but you have a sense of humour..
