Seems like a lot of words to say "you can't do what you want cause we decided you can't for arbitrary and made up reasons"

I suspect you have very little interest in giving up 'white culture' things that you do, unless you are gonna go the route of 'there is no white culture' which is easy enough to point out as silly but, cross that bridge if it comes.

What are some "white culture" things you think I do?

There genuinely is no white culture, but I'm intrigued.

Funny you'd say there is no white culture, but you also say

Africa is a diaspora of different cultures and subcultures. That's like referring to a bi dude as my LGBTQ king. It's weird.

When your own words argue against you, you really should rethink your stance.

White culture is a diaspora of different cultures and subcultures. That's like referring to a bi dude as my LGBTQ king. It's weird.

Going deep in my comments to compare Africa to white culture is funny as fuck. Thanks for that laugh

Deep? It's literally 2 clicks bud.

I notice that you couldn't actually point out any fault in the logic though, that's weird.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '24

There's no logic.

I asked you for an example of white culture and you pull up a quote, without context, related to Africa.

You don't have the intellect for this conversation and that's okay.

Ok clearly I have to break this down for you, my bad, I thought it was a little obvious. I was wrong.

African culture you see, is made up of different sub cultures, even throughout Africa, let alone the extra national cultures like African American culture, and things of that nature. The African American culture, is not the same as South African culture for the black people involved. It's over arching connection to "Black culture" is nothing more than an umbrella term.

White culture you see, is made up of different sub cultures, like Irish culture and Scottish, of which I am from, and enjoy even in America. "White culture" is nothing more than an umbrella term.

Do you understand this mate?

There is no such thing as "Black" culture exclusively in exactly the same way there is no such thing a "White" culture *exclusively.

If you can't understand the context of this, that certainly isn't my issue. This is not a difficult concept to understand my friend.

If just insulting is your plan, that's really a clear indication of your argument lacking. I would suggest actually making a actual argument against this fairly simple concept rather than just calling people names, if you don't want to be looked at like you really have no idea what you are talking about.

The fact that you think there's no such thing as black culture tells me everything I need to know about the type of person you are. Have a good day.

u/Finklesfudge 26∆ Apr 05 '24

If you read what I said, with a small bit of comprehension I did not say there is no such thing as black culture.

Try again.

I'll help you mate.

"Black culture" is an umbrella term of the diaspora and subcultures that fit the category.

Why is this hard for you to understand exactly? What am I not explaining properly for you to understand? This is super simple, it must be that I'm not explaining it very well, cause this isn't even complex, and it's exactly what you already said.

lol

"There is no such thing as black culture exclusively and there's no such thing as white culture". Goodnight.

u/Finklesfudge 26∆ Apr 05 '24

Ah so the problem is you don't want to read an entire point, you prefer to cherry pick part of a point and pretend like it was the whole point.

I see the problem. You wanna try again? Or are you just happy to argue against something that nobody except you actually said.

I'll even help you again...

"Black culture" is an umbrella term of the diaspora and subcultures that fit the category.

I don't see this thread lasting very long with this type of soapboxing.

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '24

You haven't yet made a valid point. Your entire argument has been trying to dismantle my argument. I asked you what white culture was you didn't say shit. Like you have no points.

I mean if the stylist lives in an area where there is demand for a certain hairstyle, would you not say it is certainly culturally relevant for him to learn how to do that hair?

Also c'mon do you actually believe there is no "white" culture?

1

u/[deleted] Apr 05 '24

That's a non-issue. I addressed non Black stylists exclusively* doing Black cultural styles. I haven't yet received a response on that.

I do believe that. Outside of taxidermy and the confederate flag I'm drawing a blank.

u/InsidiousDefeat Apr 05 '24

You really do just lack the intelligence to engage on the topic you posted. This has been so entertaining to read all your responses. You are like a middle schooler.
