If the south is officially defeated then why do blacks insist on maintaining the legacy of the southern dialect and southern culture all across the country?

You guys should drive through the Vicksburg cemetery some time...there are like 20 big assed monuments the North erected for their soldiers....

 

[JakeStarkey]

As well they should have.

The True Der Union monument stands in Comfort, Texas, home of Lonestar Texas-German Unionism.

I have known blacks who have southern accents (compared to my own non southern
accent) and blacks who like southern style food (ie the food of their childhood)---
but never met a black who was an advocate for the SOUTHERN CULTURE
PRESERVATION ---they just tend to do the stuff their mother's did-------
just like eastern European jews eat "kasha" ----<<<that's boiled buck wheat groats----------great grandma cooked it and Italian americans eat spaghetti with "gravy" ----
for some mysterious reason on WEDNESDAY. Your contention suggests that you
never did sociology 101

Ironic. How many modern US 'slave holders' are black? Sex and labor slavery exists here in the US. And there of course there's pimps. What comes first to mind reading "pimps" but some black guy?

 

[Rotagilla]

MLK....the great plagiarist, fake "reverend".... and a "married" man who consorted with prostitutes...an excellent illustration of negro values.
if you can't make it..... fake it.

Black English is southern English. Derived from European and African influences. Gullah inflected. Both whites and blacks of the region spoke the same dialect. Some terminology was unique to blacks because of their circumstance much the way Yiddish came about. But the dialect is the same.
The cultural influences are derived from the same confluence of cultures.
Blacks insist on maintaining that southern heritage In spite of region and do it in the name of hypocritical though institutional self-segregation. They call it black but it's southern.
