Task 6 'what is Black British culture?'

Black people from other countries such as Nigeria, Caribbean bring over their culture to shear like food, music and fashion.

Adjusting to new like in Britain wasn't easy, expected the quality of life to be a lot better, living accommodation wasn't available for west Indians, some black people wasn't allowed to go into certain venues so they found other ways to socialise and this was the beginning of a black culture.

The first generation's roots were still with their home country, with the birth of the second generation of black people, those born in the UK, came the beginnings of a new way of living where as the first generations roots were with their home countries, this generation were beginning to mix the two together.

Some white people, brown Asian, Pakistanis, more people are taking on black culture and how they dress.

Black like Beckham, David Beckham was the black communities greatest icon he was also Britain's most famous black man because of his lifestyle. Those who borrow from black culture are often accused of acting black.Acting black. means talking with the slang, walking with the bop, attitude. Its associating yourself with the people around you.
