Episode 36: Black American Culture
In this episode, I confront a claim I hear far too often—that African Americans “have no culture.” I take two full hours to break that lie apart and show the undeniable truth: our culture is everywhere, and it’s one of the most powerful forces in the world.
I walk through the values that ground us resilience, faith, respect for elders, collective uplift, justice. I break down the taboos that keep us whole like never disrespecting elders, never betraying your people, never letting the culture die. And I celebrate the traditions that make us who we are our music from jazz to hip hop, our dances from the Electric Slide to the Running Man, our soul food tables stacked with mac & cheese, collard greens, and barbecue, our HBCUs, our games, our faith.
This episode isn’t just a rebuttal to ignorance it’s a love letter to a culture forged in fire. I want you to hear the stories, feel the pride, and remember that Black American culture isn’t missing it’s so loud, so global, and so influential that the world consumes it daily.
