American Popular Culture and Race

Sam Fulwood III.
Like its media, the United States exports its popular culture around the globe. So much of that pop culture has been produced and contains racial themes. It's an old story from Josephine Baker, James Baldwin and Miles Davis to Michael Jackson and Oprah Winfrey. President Obama understands this better than most modern-era presidents. He links himself with pop culture in a way to make himself and his policies popular with young people around the word. Is this another example of U.S. cultural imperialism or is it the natural evolution of black American's long unrecognized influence in shaping the cultural norms of our society and world?
