Topic > Black Culture in American Culture - 806
They have become more infatuated with novelty and difference in lifestyles rather than the problems blacks face. The media takes advantage of this attraction and treats the culture as entertainment, demeaning black creations and without truly caring about the people who make up the culture. Many people love the idea of black culture but don't want to deal with the real and uncomfortable conflicts associated with black identity such as police brutality, racism, colorism, and intersectionality. If white people are able to take part in something as essential to black identity as music or hairstyles, why should they feel limited in speaking out about real, current issues?
