The only time groups put an emphasis on "white" on anything they promote is for impure reasons. A lot of cultural events featuring many white people in America are broken up into their subcultures such as Italian, German, Irish, etc. This is also true for certain Asian and Latino communities who continue to practice traditions and holidays despite being in the US. Their events would be named according to their respective countries of origin. On the other hand, you have black people in America who use the broad term "black" since it's what we have in common since we have no strong connection with our African heritage. Many of us don't know if we originated from Ethiopia, Nigeria, or Egypt. We use black as a blanket term and have done so for a long time since we do not represent those "traditional Americans". There is no Irish or Italian Entertainment Television for entertaining Irish or Italian people even with a "strong connection to their heritage". When you claim there is no identifiable culture or tradition, what exactly is there to differentiate black Americans from any other Americans? You know, beyond wanting to segregate from other Americans based on the colour of their skin. The exact same issue with using "White". --- RIP_Supa posted...
