Is African American Culture included in our Multicultural society of America?

 

I am half Sicilian but was raised black and know nothing about European Culture, but I know Justin Timberlake is white and Janet Jackson is African American, and therefore they clearly come for two different cultural backgrounds.  It is alright for a black woman to expose her breasts and it is not alright for a white woman to do the same that is because of cultural differences.  It is not alright for a white man to stripe and expose a black woman’s breast and therefore if anything is investigated it should be Justin’s sexual assault

 

 

Excerpt from President Obama’s Inaugural Address

For we know that our patchwork heritage is a strength, not a weakness.

We are a nation of Christians and Muslims, Jews and Hindus, and nonbelievers. We are shaped by every language and culture, drawn from every end of this Earth

And because we have tasted the bitter swill of civil war and segregation and emerged from that dark chapter stronger and more united, we cannot help but believe that the old hatreds shall someday pass; that the lines of tribe shall soon dissolve; that as the world grows smaller, our common humanity shall reveal itself; and that America must play its role in ushering in a new era of peace.

To the Muslim world, we seek a new way forward, based on mutual interest and mutual respect.

To those leaders around the globe who seek to sow conflict or blame their society’s ills on the West, know that your people will judge you on what you can build, not what you destroy.

To those…

Excerpt from Wikipedia African American Culture

African American culture is rooted in Africa and is a blend of chiefly sub-Saharan African and Sahelean cultures. Although slavery greatly restricted the ability of Africans in America to practice their cultural traditions, many practices, values, and beliefs survived and over time have modified or blended with European American culture. There are even some facets of African American culture that were accentuated by the slavery period. The result is a dynamic culture that has had and continues to have a profound impact on mainstream American culture, as well as the culture of the broader world.

Janet’s FCC Nightmare Relived

Janet’s FCC Nightmare Relived

So it will not go away that is the wardrobe malfunction.  I guess now at the super bowl halftime show, they will have to warn people that the show may have a slip of the tongue or a malfunction of clothing.  Just do away with live shows that are family oriented on daytime television.  I mean there was almost total nudity in Shaka Zulu, but we were forewarned of the graphic content.

The issue is not that Janet’s breast was exposed on television, but when and how.  It is about defining American culture and it goes against everything President Obama stated in this is a multicultural society and the country is not Christian.  The real question is does the FCC rules supersede American norms.  Which bring forth what is normal in America and the answer is that there is no norm, again I say America is multicultural society of no norms and if an American has the right to practice there religion, why should not an American be allowed to practice the ethnicity. Are we saying an Arab can where face gear in the bank, but an African must wear a bra?  Now who sounds foolish?

Personally I was disappointed by the act itself, the song selection and stage show was all wrong for the audience targeted it was a SNAFU in my opinion from the beginning.   CBS should pay the fine for allowing that act in the beginning under European culture
