I guess,the American culture is divided into 2 cultures, one of them is the Latin American Culture and the other one is North American Culture. These cultures are separated in issence because of the lenguage and a lot of deep topics more. So, what cuture do you mean about?

Only two? Black culture, pop culture, or other cultures don't count as some parts of the main culture? :roll:

If you compare the black culture in Colombia and the black culture in The USA, you can find many big differences and that’s what I call the cultural richness in America. Although the black roots send us to Africa.The language just help us to share our culture in a fast and simple way.

Sorry, I have trouble to understand your post, seriously. Firstly, the Black culture in Colombia has nothing to do with the fact you said there was only two cultures in America, doesn't it? So why is the comparison? Why brought it up? :?

Secondly, the black roots send us to Africa.... this is their history, the slavery and stuff. But I don't think this is a part of their culture since Africans were sent to other places of the world also. However, Black culture in America is totally African-American's style. To me you just can't get it anywhere else in the world unlike the African slavery history. This is why they're proud of their culture.

To study the American culture I divide the American continent in 2 zones; North American and Latin American. So, you will see that there are a lot of similar culture characteristics between Latin American countries but also there are differences. The American roots is just one of many things that the American countries share. So, if we study The American Culture roots we must to study first The African Culture and The Europe Culture.

I think the globalization show us the American culture as one, but I invite everybody to see further on that staff.

Ooooooooooooooooooh, now I've got what you're talking about. You've been talking about the whole continent. I thought the person was asking about American culture in the United States; therefore, I thought you were talking about the United States as well.

Yeah He posted in the wrong forum. This forum is Canada and America. Not Canada and Every Place Else in the Western Hemisphere.


And anyway coffee is what unites N and S America. We all like a nice cup of coffee, don't we?
