(This is long but just answer the general question. I’m posting from previous posts)
White people have culture, especially American whites. Though it is often belittled by others who wrongfully claim all that is part of our culture has been stolen from someone else. The only difference between soul food and southern food is the color of the chef, for example. Research the recipes.
Research the history of bluegrass, country, pop, etc. Even research the controversial rock genre, you will find more white influence than black. Stevie Wonder said he was inspired by many old white bluegrass men, yet no one claims he stole anything from white culture. So why people claim rock solely exists because of black people is beyond me.
Learn about daily life and customs in the mountains, in the hollers, in the backwoods. Learn about modern day cowboys and self-sufficient country families.
From modern day History books, you will learn about the following:

It’s seems as if society has taught Whites to be ashamed of their history or others have accused Whites of stealing much of American history alone opposed to European History.
Yes I’m biracial but that’s not an answer to the question lol
No Dwayne that’s not what I suppose. It’s guaranteed if any of this was brought to the table like some of you said it would be claimed as stolen or an indication that Whites are culture-less.
And some people just should not answer if their thoughts is bigotry.
Dwayne – I didn’t even give you a thumbs down or up. I actually covered what I wanted, you’re free to opinion as I said. I don’t need to make a short debate long. I can add more culture but naming wasn’t my initial reason for posting.
Jade: You say influence is not the same as making history. Elvis didn’t start Rock n Roll, I mention Stevie Wonder’s influence because again, it’s not notable to acknowledge Whites for any history that isn’t negative. You need to learn to stick with a topic, even if you don’t care for it. Elvis had nothing to do with my question. If you like to debate stick to the general topic not make a long sentence not adding much legitimate source. That’s what you Cocoa Butter and Dwayne did.
