chosen.content: Black and white cultures in the United States have different perspectives, values, and practices due to their different cultural histories and experiences. African Americans, as a result of historical racism and their unique experiences with oppression, have created a culture that is distinct from the mainstream dominant culture. For example, within the black community, there is a strong focus on family, music and arts, spirituality, and a shared experience of racism that has shaped their culture. In comparison, the mainstream American culture values individualism, material success, and a more practical and secular outlook on life.

rejected.content: Some of the major differences between black and white cultures in the United States include language, music, cuisine, spiritual beliefs, traditions and values, family structure, communication styles, and experiences of discrimination. Language differences between black and white cultures are evident in the use of slang and dialects; music differences stem from African American music being influenced more by blues, soul, and jazz, while European American music tends to have more of an influence from rock and roll and other genres; cuisine is different because traditional African American dishes are influenced by the culture's African heritage, while European American cuisine is often more adapted from the foods of early immigrants; spiritual beliefs differ in that many African Americans follow Protestant Christian denominations or practice African-influenced religions, while European Americans are more diverse but lean towards Christian religions; there are also stark differences in traditions such as family gatherings, celebrations, and rituals; communication styles vary from indirect to direct, and often more confrontational with white culture; lastly, whites and blacks have had starkly different experiences of discrimination, both before and after the Civil Rights Movement.
