Why is America such an Afro-centric country?

PUFAconsumer said:

because black americans are the largest group
you can say whites are the majority but they have a diverse set of culture. the biggest white culture is probably the trump supporting kind. funny how the two most wipespread culture types in america are both dumb as shit.
people i know irl just listen to rap but thats the extent of it. i have never in my life seen somebody who acts like the media portray blacks except young boys who copes with being a rapper and they grow out of it. the only type i see are internet people who unironically type like blacktwitter are basement dwellers who thinks they're hip lmao

I guess that the suppression of German culture during the early 20th century really set the foundation for the rise of Black culture + I’ve noticed that an overwhelming majority of Latino youth speak a degree of Ebonics, it seems engrained. It’s really the small things though, like certain words and mannerism they use.

I was thinking about this recently. I think it has to do with dissatisfaction in life and the rise of ADHD.
I have ADHD and I created ebonics on my own as a kid. The easy low barrier method of expression is appealing to modern culture induced ADHD zoomers. Ebonics also have an aura of inside joke because you have to fill in the blanks of missing words with your mind. It lets the mind solve easy puzzles for quick dopamine. Not to mention the pseudointellectual aspect of it which I was referencing to in your painting. With how difficult it is to "make it" in the world today things like rap gives us a feeling of rebellious power we don't possess. It's all one big LARP. Like I said, action >>> thinking.

I highly agree with your theory on it’s development, I’ve been theorizing that poor energy leads to, obviously, a poor vocabulary among other things, and coincidentally, or not, AA slaves were stereotypically known to be be under stressful conditions
