Funny thing about the Krauts, Ben Franklin didn't want them here because he felt they wouldn't assimilate and threatened the dominant English culture of the Pennsylvania colony. He was right, they didn't fully integrate until World War 1. Before that, German was the second most spoken language in the country and German-only newspapers, schools, and businesses were prevalent. You still have small groups here that speak a variant of German. Quote HistoryQuoted:

When the Crown ended Slavery in the colonies. There wasn't the same level of systemic oppression and instesd there was a more pushed incorporation of Blacks into society. Now the Rhodesia and South Africa are the exception to that. But the general societal absorption of Blacks into the colonies went fairly well. Blacks rose in economic, educational, and social class as time progressed. They weren't segregated from the civil service the same way we did. They had the same general access to services, goods, and society as a White or Indian/Coloured person of similar economic class did in the Empire. |

I am saying that there are different cultures in the US and they're not tied to race. It just so happens to be that a certain majority of a specific group might identify with a certain culture, but it isn't the sole one. What many identity as Black American Culture is simply ghetto culture. White, Hispanics, Asians, and Blacks all identify with it. Blacks numerically are more simply because of the socio-economic environment created by Leftists after WWII, Blacks for the most part live in the ghetto. |
