Then look at our "culture," which consists of country and classic rock, dressing "preppy," playing sports like golf and tennis...They don't really blend well.
Referring to "popular black culture" like you do is like calling your "culture" "popular white culture," which is a gross generalization and not at all accurate. Are you not saying that all black people are the same and fit the stereotypical MTV image you're mentioning here?
