Apon my own observations of whites I actually see them as a very assimilated group.To be honest,for the most part,whites seem to be very 'we are white,this is how we should look'and call anything that may resemble another culture as 'trying to look black...be black'.I may be mistaken, but this is what I have observed.I am only talking in the superficial ways though, so please dont mistake me.
Whites spent a huge amount of energy and time trying to assimilate indigenous cultures so those people were forced to become 'white' in attittude and appearance(to say the least).Their were times in certain colonial regimes where indigenous ones were not allowed to dress similar to the whites to create a divide and reinforce supremacy,then,later on,it became 'important' for blacks to emulate and imitate whites in every way(same thing again...to reinforce supremacy).
Any group/race of people who were so bent on assimilating everyone else must be a pretty assimilated group unto themselves.What do you think?
A rapist,in my veiw,aint really on the court when it comes to riteousness or knowledge of self and certainly is'nt troddin in the ways of Rastafari...whether I judge them for that...is another thing.
More life...bless...
