Plus, I've never met a black person who has never met a black person, even if they were adopted by nonblack parents or something. There are whites who have never met blacks or other nonwhites but rarely nonwhites who can say the same. |
Okay so what you're saying is that some of these young black people have NO IDEA about their own culture when joining?

Which culture?
Blacks aren't a monolithic group.
This is making my head hurt.

People misuse the "monolithic group" phrase everyday. It's like someone used "monolithic" in a sentence one day and caused a EUREKA in people's minds that can't be overcome.
Saying there is a such thing as an "XYZ culture" isn't about being a monolithic group.
No matter how much you and your brother love black people (  ), you still acknowledge that you are Filipino and that there is a "Filipino and/or Filipino-American culture." This doesn't require that Filipinos think, say, and do the exact same things to recreate the culture.
