Because there is no such thing as ' white culture '.
But there is such a thing as Black Culture, or Asian culture or whatever.
And besides, any minority group that has historically suffered at the hands of the majority is going to carve themselves out a little slice of the pie that's just for them.
That would be why. And no I'm not stating that white people are racist or have a problem with minorities or anything like that, it's just a product of history that's all.

And the ignorant statement of the day award goes to . . . . .

So, because there was slavery hundreds of years ago (when such things were the norm), we, today, must tolerate being blamed for it?
Whom then must I blame and ask a apology from for the Slaves of Barbary? (look it up)

Black culture is a product of a discovery of an identity that has formed (and is forming) via reactions through several developments in overall US history. Our identity was stripped from us through the slave trade and 'seasoning' so we've had to make one up.
The reason why the rap culture is dominating the stage of black culture is because it is has an appearance of success ie: rappers seem to get paid.
How many people have watched Friends, Full House, or Raising Arizona. White people dont have to have a "white" label for much because everything is white. For example, there is no white history month because every month is white history month.
Good post though

Well for BET isn't there CMT?
It's really funny when people say this...do you think 'country music' is a race, or 'black' is a genre of music?
