Y'all are kinda in limbo and I'm sure that has played a crucial factor to attitudes within the black community.

Get the **** outta here. THE MUSIC YOU LISTEN TO IS MY IDENTITY YOU DUMMY.
Our population numbers is completely irrelevant. We 25 million African-Americans have our own complete, distinct, recognizable CULTURE just like every other ethnic group - and so do Afro-Britons I'm sure.
What you're not going to do, even if you're not familiar with what Afro-British culture is, is act like African-American culture isn't 'official' or 'real' or a thing to be claimed. We have our own food. Our own clothing styles. Our own religious experience. OUR OWN MUSIC LOOOOOOOOL. Our own dance. TOTALLY SEPARATE FROM WHITE AMERICA's culture. What are you even saying?

But y'all don't know your history/culture "before it". Which is a problem. When you think about it, you never really existed without white people, so how can you truly believe you can be excellent on your own? When you've never witnessed with your own eyes that you can be excellent on your own? If you did believe it y'all would make like Asians and never let coin leave your community in the SPEED it does.

NONE OF THE CARIBBEAN NATIONS OR THEIR CULTURES WOULD HAVE EXISTED OR BECOME THE WAY THEY ARE WITHOUT EUROPEAN INFLUENCE EITHER!
So, WHAT are you saying?
You're dead pissing me off. Again.

Like, what is going on here
