Why are most people (even globally) so influenced by black American’s culture

From music, to fashion to slang. There is a wide-spread liking for the Black community in America. No, seriously, I’m not kidding. America must love it some Black people. I feel like we as Black people are actually accepted, (or accurately, tolerated) but typically only as is comfortable or when we’re useful In other words, when we “know our place.” 🙄This superficial appreciation of us , or things related to Black culture, is symptomatic of a heart “in like” rather than “in love”. Despite some instances of what might be called convenient affection, real life is far more complicated in our country. What I’m trying to say is people wanna be black (until it’s time to be black.).
But don’t let all of that fool you from the disconnect that gives us police brutality, unequal schooling, and other problems for Black Americas. With all this “love” for Black people in America’s heart, where’s the breakdown happening and where is it coming from? 🤔

Some people are cool! Beautiful, full of life, attractive, etc But that doesn’t always mean we can relate to them. And that applies to any race. But there’s something about that .... and minorities. I’m sure it goes both ways
