One thing u say I can agree with. About many blacks (not all) not being educated because its not ‘cool.’ But the historical contributions that you fail to see or understand are definitely there. Our culture (America) is not Eurocentric. To say so shows total ignorance and lack of information. America’s culture was not always so perfect. Not until just recently. White’s capability to enslave, kill, torture, and steal from other nations was what built so called ‘ white America.’ The things whites may have felt to be superior and important in their society at the time (ie. large colonial houses, wigs, tea parties, puritan beliefs) was totally stupid to other cultures. Native americans, for instance, found had more important things to do. Teepees (excuse my spelling) were all they needed for there atmosphere, and that does not make them inferior. It was not until all the cultures of the world started to come together did America begin to change for the better. Specifically speaking, off the backs of enslaved Africans, during the immigration era of the 1870-1920’s, and during the civil rights era in the latter of the 20th century. Many parts of our culture did come from Europe (which is only partly populated with whites), but also equally from African, native american, and indian societies. Infact, a large majority of our culture derives from Egyptian architecture, science, mathematics, etc.
