a big problem is that we as a community dont know our strength and power. imho, we dont need to be 'led' by anyone. personally, some of our so called 'leaders' were just placed out in the forefront to make 'others' feel comfortable. i feel that as diverse as our culture is, our viewpoints are just as diverse and therefore one or two people cant and will never speak for af/am people.
to answer the original question we have a culture. it has been other cultures who took from us and created something new. we took it back and recreated it. like its been said, the more we buy into the notion that we are lost and need to be saved the worse will be as a community.
