Yes. I stand corrected… thouh I did kind of assume if I was referring to White Culture being culturally Christian, the whiteness of said Christianity was implicit.

And really, might as well spell out that part of white culture: theft. Stealing. So bloody much bloody theivery.
And another part: not being especially bothered by that whenever it’s pointed out.

Country music? yeah, pretty white.
Metal has a problem with whiteness, yes, most internationally successful bands are made up of fair skinned people and since they are the most commercially viable, you could easily think that most Metal bands are white. This is why I mentioned my nationality, since I have a different vantage point I’m aware of a lot of metal bands that are not white.
The fact that white people only consume metal music from other white people which then feeds into the notion that it is white people music is a systemic issue.
But yeah, no denying that metal is pretty white, but it’s also surprisingly diverse. Not a lot of country artists outside the US and Canada, there’s metal musicians all over the world.

Interesting thing there are a lot of black Mary and Jesus statues. The fact some of these church were built over Venus temple plays a part, but…

Good for you! So clever. I’ve never seen anyone do something like that before! /s
Except, “white culture” doesn’t apply to only white people.
I often refer to the Republican Party as a white cult. But when I do so, I’m not saying that no white people are Republicans.

Yeah, so? I’m sure there’s more than one black Republican out there too.

Metal–and music in general–is a lot more diverse and intertwined despite claims to the contrary.

Can’t say I agree.
Again, when it comes to examples of white culture, cherry picking counterexamples does not disprove a general claim.

Yep, “white culture” is a thing there too. Albeit a somewhat different thing than it is American white culture, which includes its own particular and irrational fears of black men.
And also, its own excessive concern for “troubled” white men.

This shit is evidence of “white culture” intersecting with non-whites who occupy traditionally white roles. Oh, and “what an asshole.”

I’ll once again link to this, as it bears repeating that it will help people understand how we got where we are…
Yes, there was and is a global culture of white identity. If you track the places they talk about in the book with the current crop of white identity politics (US/Canada, UK, S. Africa, Australia) you will see how this overlaps with this longer history.
Agreed, but there is still an overlapping white identity that bleeds into the mainstream culture (and for a while completely dominated it, very recently) in all these places…

Again, to say that white culture exists is not to say that it manifests in the same ways in all times and places.

Culture doesn’t get much whiter than this. What can one say except: Jesus H Christ!

Those are definitely not the hands of a carpenter, either. Well trimmed beard, manicured soft hands…are they trying to convince us that Jesus was a metrosexual?
