re: #236 Obdicut

“However, it’s kind of pointless to argue with someone who is seriously asserting that black slaves shared the same culture as their white masters. That’s such an amazingly idiotic thing to say.”

No more idiotic than to assert, contrary to all evidence, that they did not share a culture.

(You taking lessons on debating from LVQ or something?

As for the separation - do you honestly imagine that there were no exchanges, culturally or otherwise, between slave and master? Hell, the very system in which they were locked - chattel slavery - was itself a cultural construct. Of course they were tied culturally, as would be any two populations who lived side-by-side for a couple hundred years.
