What in the fuck are you talking about? No one says that, lol. I bet there are cultural differences between you and me btw (I am Irish, German and Polish), just based on where we grew up. I am willing to bet that I relate more to the black kids I grew up with then you.
Just for fun, what are the "serious cultural differences" you are referring to? This should be good.
You still misunderstood what kpt said. There are 2 separate points in his comment.
1) Your comment about "if you haven't been president you can't comment on what he's doing." He said that no one says that.
2) You said there are serious cultural differences between blacks and whites and the liberals won't admit that. He said that there are probably cultural differences between the two of you and, here is where I'm interpreting his comments, it has nothing to with race. He goes on to state that he is more culturally attuned to the black kids he grew up with compared to how culturally attuned he is to you. Not that he is more attuned to black culture than you but that the black kids he grew up share his culture and you, presumably white, don't. Thus invalidating your claim that race is what drives the cultural differences and not environmental factors.
He then asked for examples of the serious cultural differences you think exist between blacks and whites.
1. Go back and look at what part of my statement KPT quoted. He left out the presidential stuff and only quoted the cultural differences part. He specifically said no ones disagrees that there are cultural differences.
2. Of course being born black doesn't make you genetically predisposed to listen to rap or jazz or soul, or to have a fade or dreds, etc. But being born in a environment that is dominated by blacks will more than likely lead you to that culture.
I haven't seen to many black dudes from the ghetto wearing tapout tshirts, listening to country music and driving supped up ford f150's. I also haven't seen Very many educated blacks listening to Michael buble or guns and roses. Of course there are outliers but for the most part we can classify/stereotype certain activities as black white etc.
If You didn't know if I was white or black but I told you I was going to a MOS Def concert and then was going to see a tyler Perry movie and then would end up at a club that played mainly rap music, what race would you think I am?
In all the places I have worked there is a difference in the basic shit that gets talked about between the races (moreso the women than men, men have a lot of sports in common). I sit around and I listen to the black women I work with talk about the shows love and hiphop, basketball wives, black ink crew, 106 and park, etc. I never hear the white women talk about that. I hear the latest gossip on rappers. ETC.
There is some small crossovers but I never see the black and white women sit around talking about the same shit. The black dudes and white dudes do a little more when sports are mentioned but as soon as rap, clubs, or anything else comes up the guys drift apart.
When I say racial differences I am not meaning it in the you are born to like rock and roll type situation, I am more meaning it in the you will more than likely have different cultural or social choices of shit to talk about, read about, entertain yourself if born into certain environments (exclusing outliers of course).
Even if people don' t like it there is just certain things that we assign to different races (in the simplistic meaning of the word, white black Mexican/latino).
There is even social differences in beliefs, Whites tend to have a decent or positive view of cops, blacks not so much. Now I am speaking from talking and asking and going in depth with probably 500 black women and 300 black dudes in all walks of life from movie theater cashier when I was younger to the military to the medical lab I work in now.
The ray rice issue was a big difference. The white women I talked to said that it was horrible and it should never have happened. Most of the black women said that she probably deserved it and that it is not uncommon for that shit to happen all the time. I probably asked 50 black women if they had ever hit a man, 90% said yes. I asked if they had ever been hit by a man, again 90% said yes. The white women were closer to 25%. When we talk about relationships, the majority of black women I spoke to EXPECT to be cheated on. They figure the guy they are with now has or is cheating on them. The white women said hell or they don't expect to be cheated on, even if they admit that they have in the past or might be currently getting cheated on.
A lot of the black men and women I talked to said that their parents never really pushed education--- YOU GOTTA REMEMBER I AM TALKING TO SCIENCE DEGREED PEOPLE HERE AS WELL.
sorry for rambling or typos, I am trying to respond and watch 2 children at the same time, LOL
