Is American Black culture an emulation of southern redneck culture?



About as much as Northern rednecks, I would assume.

I know blacks with the Washington surname.

That does not translate to being a redneck....idiot.

What a joke. The South's economy is Booming in most areas. The Northern economies are the ones suffering.
Blacks in the South overall are doing fairly well. Blacks in the North are mostly in poverty and on Govt handouts.

It's obvious you've not been to Texas, Georgia, Florida, etc lately.

Blacks up north are not mostly in poverty and on handouts.

Where'd you get that crap from? A rear body orifice?

It's always whitey's fault, isn't it? In some way or another, the white man is always behind the ruse.

God forbid anyone take responsibility for their own choices in life.

The topic has NOTHING to do with blaming white folks. Not even a damn tiny bit. You don't like the conclusions, so you're changing the topic.

Anytime Sowell rips black folks or even farts, folks like you throw a party like it's 1999. But when he's hitting a little to close to YOUR sensibilities, then he's "blaming whitey."

Don't wanna party now, do you?

Surely you jest. This is well known among historians, what's in debate is whether the culture influenced African Americans.

Depends on what one considers the North but I'd be interested to see a comparison in median income between Northern & Southern Blacks. I believe all of the cities listed as being the best for blacks are below the Mason-Dixie line. However that includes Baltimore & DC and I'm not sure most people today would consider them Southern cities.

It's quite clear that European culture influenced African slaves. The descendants of African slaves in Bermuda act differently than US Blacks who act differently from Brazilian Blacks.
