[QUOTE]Originally posted by The Explorer: [QB] Black Americans may well be more integrated in the Euro-American culture than Chinese or Mexicans, IMO. This may partly be attributable to the institution of slavery, wherein slaves were forced to relinquish their names and customs, and instead adopt one issued to them by their European managers. Another factor may be due to post-slavery racist institutions like Jim Crow, which sought to give socio-economic advantages to 'whites' over 'blacks', just as apartheid in South Africa had the effect of giving gratuitous advantage to 'whites', and both of which were designed to keep the said situation in effect long after any abolition of the said racist institutions, because by then there would be unequal distribution of high-paying labor, which were all reserved for 'white' folks. To catch up, many blacks felt compelled to excel in "pop culture" items necessary to land them jobs generally placed in the ownership of a small clique of elite 'white' capitalists. About the Hip Hop thing, lioness; what part of it is "American"? [/QB][/QUOTE]
