I'd say pretty much all countries except for the United States. It's amazing how influenced one black American could be by this socioeconomic pattern in Detroit, and like a half a mile away in Windsor, they're not effected. ''Black'' culture is not criminal though. That's just one down side of the poorest sector of this population. It'd be like saying is criminality or incest ''white'' culture because those are stereotypes of white trash in parts of the country?
In your statement ''I don't mean to sound racist but Black culture is based off of crimes'', there really is no way to make that a non-prejudice statement. You're looking at it the wrong way. This is the image the media portrays. ''Black'' culture, or at least the idea of it, existed for well over a couple hundred years in this country. The root doesn't come back to criminality. It comes back to not having the same opportunities as white's, a while ago, which made people less poorer and educated.Unfortunately, many people have been stuck in these patterns, and although some have, more people could break away from these patterns. If you want to associate criminality with poverty, that's fine, but poverty doesn't equal black. The United States is really the only place where the ''black'' identity is as conformed and as needy as it in. In Canada, there's black people of lots of cultures, whether it be Jamaican, Hatian, African, or the descendants of African slaves. These people all don't give up their culture and conform to some simplistic title though. That's what American's do, because, well, we're ''simple'' people. If we weren't, we wouldn't allow the media to control our thinking in our lives to the max.
When ninety percent of your population is fully black, like in Jamaica, you don't think of yourself as black. You're not in the minority. You think of yourself as you, as a Jamaican. Therefore, they really aren't thinking of themselves as ''black.'' In Britain, it's the same way. People associate with national cultural identities. Those who don't usually are more distant to their immigrant roots, but you can still see the cultural differences, because the West Indians descendants over there are Christian (or sometimes Atheist) and the Africans are mostly Muslim.
