What constitutes as the “black experience”? Are you speaking in terms of the modern day experience of black people? This is a genuine question, and I would really appreciate to hear a response from one who is black. Also, is “black” a culture? No really, aren’t there different cultures that make up the black population, just as there are for whites? Or is there also “white culture”? Or “brown culture”? These seem like dangerous over-generalizations that lack the nuance they deserve.

A Nigerian, or Jamaican may have a completely different understanding of culture than black people whose family history ties back to US slavery.
It is weird how we just tend to generalize over all of this because of the color of one's skin.
