Why so Pedestrian?

What exactly is white culture? Can somebody help me?

If you were to sit back and think about it... take all of the racial, ethnic, and other cultural influences out of the equation... what are they really left with? Let's break it down... Honestly, this discussion is not very long because there are two points that just put this to bed (But, for kicks I'm gonna drag it out).

1st point: There would be no country for them to reign their terror on. As we all [should] know, this country was already discovered by the Native Americans.
2nd point: Had it NOT been for the Native Americans being so nice and teaching them how to live here (i.e planting crops and such) they would have died before they even had a chance to do anything (By the way, that thank you, you have them was just grand!).

Think about it...

Moving right along... Ok so lets say they actually did discover the America, had it not been for the slaves that built this country, there would be nothing for them to run (ha... yet another bed layer).

When you look at the food they eat, I cannot think of one that all their own (green bean casserole maybe?). I was going to give them hamburgers, but then one of my friends informed me that hamburgers were a Greek food. I feel like people get Southern food mixed up with white culture... Southern food is another name for black influence (The recipe for fried chicken was thought up by a white person?? Come on now).
I believe the black influence on white music is obvious, as well as the way in which some of them dress. I looked up white culture on google and looked at some of the pictures they had posted... there was nothing that really told a story about their culture. However, I was slightly intrigued by this one picture of this white guy in baggy clothes, a hat and a chain around his neck and underneath the picture it read "...huge in urban white culture. " The word urban is an indication that it has a black influence all up and through it... Baggy clothes and chains are mostly seen in hip hop and rap videos or "gansta culture."
I recently learned that the women's movement really took off around the time the civil rights movement happend. I know that black women were also involved in the women's movement but, would that movement be as powerful if the civil rights movement did not take place at the same time? Would women be in the same place they're in now?

I guess what this all boils down to is I'm sick of other races and ethnicities gettin shitted on like our ancestors weren't the ones who made white people what they are today. What is that?
