In my experience, there is much, much discourse within the black community regarding culture, and how it affects success.

Absolutely there is but the way that those outside the group make it seem is that we're 100% responsible for how the culture that exists got to where it is. The mainstream culture has problems but a lot of those problems are the result of historical inequities. It needs to be fixed but all of American society needs to see it as something they are also responsible for fixing and not fixing by simply pushing people to adopt the cultural norms of another group of people.

Responsibility for culture is an interesting issue. Very few individuals can claim any significant responsibility.

People tend to look askance at outsiders coming in to fix their culture.

Further, I don't think American mainstream culture is in any position to evangelize its greatness right now.

I don't know, I see culture as evolutionary. Everyone should adopt the practices they see succeeding, and abandon they ones they see failing, no?
