Some cultural practices are just okay to me because they enhance compatibility in a community. But some have already expired with time. They need to be done away with.
Thank you Hillary for your thoughtful comment
Absolutely, my culture and background is very important to me. My paternal side is from Ireland and my maternal side is (USA) Cherokee Indian. So I am part Irish/Cherokee Indian. It’s super interesting to me looking back at my family’s tree… My maternal grandfather, his great grandfather was a Cherokee Indian Chief. Pretty cool. I enjoy learning about other nationalities and I have learned “never judge a book by its cover.” I have met some of the most amazing people that believe different than I do and have a total opposite background than I do; reminds me of what Vahid designed this site to be based off of humanity and love of ALL people regardless of what your skin color is and/or what your culture/background is.
Thank you, Jenni, for such a well thought out comment.
Yes very much, i love my family history and the culture. I have a rich family history on both sides and i can trace it back hundreds if not thousands of years. it lets you know where you came from and the values the families had and how we still have the same values today. I love my family past present.

Hey sis! Black culture is a whole vibe, you know? It’s a mix of history, struggles, and triumphs that’s uniquely ours. From the beat of our music to the flavor of our food, there’s no denying our impact.Our history, from the struggles of our ancestors to the heroes of the civil rights movement, shapes who we are. Our language and slang? They’re like a secret code that connects us. And let’s not forget our hair – it’s a canvas for self-expression and creativity.Church on Sundays? It’s a cornerstone of our community. And girl, when it comes to fashion, we set trends that others follow. Our style is iconic, whether it’s streetwear or glam.But you know what really sets us apart? Our unity. We uplift and support each other like no other. Well, that’s how it used to be, but so much has change, now!!! Hope and pray, we get back to how, we used to be!!! That’s the black culture magic, right there.🖤👑
Lakeshia, sis, I felt your energy when I read your answer, I love it! I hope too we can get back to a place where we respect and pull each other along as its probably where we are weakest as a people, globally.
In my senior years, I have sought more information about my family lineage and black African and Caribbean history. I didn’t pay any attention as a youngster but in school OUR history wasn’t taught and I had no interest in wieland m European history, even though I am a born and breed Brit! My culture is very important to me and I love to learn about other cultures and customs also. I think I’m searching for reasons.
Thank you, Kevin, for your comment.
