I can’t say for sure, but I would guess that the answer is more economic than racial. Orthodontic work is very expensive and usually not covered by insurance. White parents may be better able to afford braces for their children, while black parents are not. So, it would seem reasonable that you would see more blacks with buck teeth or gaps than whites, because they weren’t able to afford to have those problems corrected.

I’m curious about why you say you can respect only deeds done in your lifetime. Even though I haven’t directly experienced some things that happened in the past, I know I’ve benefitted from those past deeds. I’m thinking of people who were in the Freedom Marches for Civil Rights and risked their lives to integrate schools, etc.

I didn’t see the program that you refer to, but I’d have to guess that most Americans probably don’t know a lot about Canada. I live in Michigan just a few hours from the Canadian border and was dating a man from Toronto for a time. I have to admit he knew much more about the United States than I knew about Canada.

I don’t know that Americans are uninterested in learning about Canada. I think maybe we simply ‘forget’ that Canada really is another country. Canada seems so similar to the United States in many ways that we don’t really take the time to explore the differences.

As an African-American I would say family and religion are two very important factors in my culture. Also, feelings and emotions (both positive and negative) seem to play a greater role for Blacks than for Whites. I’ve noticed that generally, Whites seem more conservative, when expressing their emotions. I think Blacks are more likely to laugh, sing, cry, cuss each other out when we’re angry because experiencing that wide range of emotions makes us feel more alive.
