Today, European-derived culture remains the dominant culture in the New World. Being immersed in a majority white population, many Africans in America, since the 1600s, were forced to or chose to interbreed with members of the white race, producing vast numbers of mixed-blooded offspring. Today, it is rare to find a Black American who knows of no white ancestry. And finally, unlike Catholic regions of the Diaspora, the dominant Protestant faiths in the North America did not possess the avenues by which Africans could practice a masked faith and conduct their age-old rituals. Therefore, for white Americans to argue for the genetic and cultural inferiority of the Black American vis a vis other Africans is to, in effect, make an argument for the genetic and cultural inferiority of white people since for the most part, it is with the white race that the Black American is genetically and culturally mixed.
Racist arguments are always logically flawed because racism is always illogical.
Generalizations about groups of fellow human beings whose experiences, cultures, mannerisms, attitudes, behavioral patterns, etc. derive from a long history of complex actions and reactions to internal and external influences should be avoided lest those very generalizations may come full circle, extending their reach even to their proponents. Perhaps the most universally understood of all human gestures, a genuine smile, with all its gentle power, can engage strangers, disarm enemies, and embrace loved ones. Yet, despite its strength, the smile is being abandoned by young, Black men, being incorrectly regarded as a sign of weakness, vulnerability, or emasculation. Smile, brothers, smile. A genuine smile will lift your spirit and that of the people around you.
