That’s because African-Americans have no culture outside of opression and slavery. Any connection to Africa is artificial because there would be no way of knowing which tribe they came from. They didn’t even free themselves from slavery so they can either admit they weak and need white people or that they’re oppressed (creating an anti-authority culture and the whites hold authority). They nearly escaped this, MLK was about all people, not just black people and Motown, Jazz, etc were a chance to create something they were proud of. Had they been allowed this, I believe race tensions would have faded as it has in other counties but their black people tend to have a unique culture (like with Jamaicans in England).

You also imply a unilateral white American culture but they are even more at odds with each other. Californians and Texans are very different for example and are at odds with each other. The US should have never been made into a single country, you need an extensive history to overcome the size and even then you can’t please everyone.

>>12312971
I think people are unsatisfied but they don’t know what the problem so they are searching for enemy. In my opinion, the problem stems from abudence, not everyone can change the world or do achieve something meaningful. It used to be enough that we derived meaning by providing food and shelter for our loved ones (even going as far back as 50 years) but since we don’t have to struggle for the base necessities in the 1st world we feel empty. Some try to fill the need for meaning with material things but that is only temporary. Others try to fill it with a cause but because they’re so used to immediate gratification they can’t wait the necessary 20+ years for something meaningful to happen and so they try to force it. This force creates conflict and ironically slows actual change.

you know Europe used to be filled with dozens more sub-culture groups, right?
The UK contains the Manx, Welsh, Cornish, English, Scottish and Irish and they've all ended up with the same broad culture.
France had regions like Brittany, Occitanie, Alsace and so on with distinct cultures that now all come under the French language and culture.

America could do the same, but the focus on heritage and racial division needs to be removed for that to occur.

If there was a more homogenous ethnic identity it would be possible. Look at Australia for instance. It's a similar size to America without Alaska, but no region of Australia is noticeably different to the rest of the country. You could leave Sydney, drive for five days through complete wilderness to Perth and find people who are the almost identical to the ones in Sydney. That kind of thing is possible because Australia was almost entirely English and Irish for most of its history and no one deviated from their home culture.

No, because Irish culture no longer exists. We're just a variation of anglo culture like the rest of the UK now. That was the point of my post

I'm not quite sure what your argument is. If you're saying the two groups are too different for that to work, then I'd disagree with you. Look at how blacks are integrated into English culture in England. If you're saying that they're too "subhuman" or something to that effect, remember the English once viewed the Irish in the same way.

They aren't though, they live in isolated urban communities while their antiques have been co-opted and perverted by the entertainment industry. That by itself doesn't integrate them into English culture.

but black people serve time for lesser crimes too, like smoking pot, and they get worse treatment from the police at the worst cases.
So starting your analysis at "how many are in jail" ignores "how many are in jail".

If you take in consideration politicians and entrepeneurs in general white people take much more money and betray more people than blacks. If more black people had the chance they probably would do similarly at taking brives and scamming people, but currently more white people do poncy schemes.

This is a retarded way to think. Ignoring a glaring societal issue due to the fact that people may use said issue dishonestly, and those responding to said dishonest argument may in turn act dishonestly, is absurd. This would be equivalent to disliking someone bringing up Mendelian genetic theory on the basis that someone would use it to promote eugenics. Take umbrage with the actual fallacies, not the facts.

The internet and mass media is what allows subcultures to exist in the same country but not in their own specific geographic location. The intermingling of subcultures that cannot get along or police each other properly are a direct result from the lack of a need to find physical connection with a social group en masse.

Further, I would argue that white people lack culture in America. There is no "American" culture that cannot be perceived in a negative light for being "white culture". The cultures of white people that do exist are so watered down and meaningless they do not render as anything aside from general niceties and the occasional gathering, often found in rural communities rather than big cities. So those who choose not to associate with this kind of "white culture" fill the void with smaller groups or simply ignoring cultural expectations at all. To live within a cultureless society is to not live within a society at all. You just exist without any real connection to your neighbors. Combine that with the internet and mass media, you form false relations with people you don't know thousands of miles away and then attribute them to your current surroundings for trivial reasons just to feel a part of something

For all the bitching from /pol/acks and the likes, it seems that few are actually willing to give up on negroes completely.

It's no surprise since basically half of /pol/ is young American suburbanites who grew up on watching football, basketball and listening to hip hop.

They need their negroes, either for entertainment or for petty political drama. They can't imagine a white society that isn't some boring sterile place.

That's why I'm blackpilled on white nationalism. To make it happen you'd need to get rid of (or at least completely re-educate) all the trashy whites who are effectively opposing it and feeding the multi-ethnic machine.
