This weekly roundup thread is intended for all culture war posts. 'Culture war' is vaguely defined, but it basically means controversial issues that fall along set tribal lines. Arguments over culture war issues generate a lot of heat and little light, and few deeply entrenched people ever change their minds. This thread is for voicing opinions and analyzing the state of the discussion while trying to optimize for light over heat.
Optimistically, we think that engaging with people you disagree with is worth your time, and so is being nice! Pessimistically, there are many dynamics that can lead discussions on Culture War topics to become unproductive. There's a human tendency to divide along tribal lines, praising your ingroup and vilifying your outgroup - and if you think you find it easy to criticize your ingroup, then it may be that your outgroup is not who you think it is. Extremists with opposing positions can feed off each other, highlighting each other's worst points to justify their own angry rhetoric, which becomes in turn a new example of bad behavior for the other side to highlight.
We would like to avoid these negative dynamics. Accordingly, we ask that you do not use this thread for waging the Culture War. Examples of waging the Culture War:
-
Shaming.
-
Attempting to 'build consensus' or enforce ideological conformity.
-
Making sweeping generalizations to vilify a group you dislike.
-
Recruiting for a cause.
-
Posting links that could be summarized as 'Boo outgroup!' Basically, if your content is 'Can you believe what Those People did this week?' then you should either refrain from posting, or do some very patient work to contextualize and/or steel-man the relevant viewpoint.
In general, you should argue to understand, not to win. This thread is not territory to be claimed by one group or another; indeed, the aim is to have many different viewpoints represented here. Thus, we also ask that you follow some guidelines:
-
Speak plainly. Avoid sarcasm and mockery. When disagreeing with someone, state your objections explicitly.
-
Be as precise and charitable as you can. Don't paraphrase unflatteringly.
-
Don't imply that someone said something they did not say, even if you think it follows from what they said.
-
Write like everyone is reading and you want them to be included in the discussion.
On an ad hoc basis, the mods will try to compile a list of the best posts/comments from the previous week, posted in Quality Contribution threads and archived at /r/TheThread. You may nominate a comment for this list by clicking on 'report' at the bottom of the post and typing 'Actually a quality contribution' as the report reason.

Notes -
Black American culture is essentially a mind virus affecting the world making people intentionally act dumber and less pro-social. I've seen the same in the UK and Ireland with poor whites it disgusts me that this type of culture is going global. I actually did the same myself in high school listening to Bay Area rappers and acting like I was from Oakland.
Which is interesting because black culture derives a lot from Ulster-Scots borderer culture in the first place, (hence the many comparisons between poor white rural culture and poor black urban culture in the US sharing so many norms) the poorer half of my own family in Northern Ireland have very similar honor culture based beliefs and behaviors as do my black American wife's poorer relatives. The specifics are different (dog fighting vs badger baiting, joining the UDA/UDR instead of a gang, 1619 vs 1690) but the behaviors driving it are the same.
ADOS culture is itself a mish-mash of the only cultures they were able to see around them, given their original cultures and beliefs were stripped away. Which is why black soul food is basically just southern cuisine and so on (fried chicken is believed to have come from Scots immigrants in the first place) and both AAVE and Ulster-Scots share the "habitual be" linguistically.
I suppose it does mean that if black culture does get a foothold in the South of Ireland, then we Ulster-Scots will have finally won that particular culture war in a roundabout way.
More seriously, the fact that the UK is just re-importing the behaviors of troublemaking types who moved to America in the first place is kind of elegant. Though I would point out it isn't necessarily less pro-social in either the Ulster or black variants. It simply has a much more restricted ring of who you regard as part of your society. It creates tight networks within groups who may be targets from other groups. Which is less adaptive than say the more WASPy behaviors of the other side of my family in a modern context, most likely. But is very adaptive when your group is in a potentially precarious position.
People claim that Black Americans act the way that they do because of Scots-Irish but are there any New World Black cultures that don’t have an honor based intra-personal culture?
For example if I go to Haiti do they have a dignity based culture? What about say… Jamaica?
The homicide rates seem to suggest that’s not the case.
The Caribbean did in fact have a not insubstantial population of Scots-Irish laborers, indentured servants and overseers on the mostly English owned plantations. As well as ne'er do wells from Southern Ireland who were exported there by the English. To the extent that St Patricks Day is mixed in with some slavery abolition holidays there.
Having said that, the claim that black American culture is heavily influenced by Ulster Scots or Scots-Irish doesn't mean Caribbean culture having similar outcomes in the absence of such influence, invalidates the first. I am sure the French have their own equivalent of borderer culture, and it seems likely that those employed as direct slave overseers were likely not the their equivalent of WASPs. Indeed the divide seems very similar with the Anglo Cavaliers and Scots-Irish borderers having the same dynamic as the grands blancs and petits blancs on Haiti. Aristocrats and muscle, to reduce its complexities.
As a note, it may well be true that the original cultures would also have been heavily honor based, and this indeed seems likely. But in America at least, those were mostly washed away and replaced.
Old country Cajuns will sometimes quietly claim partial descent from Haitian whites(usually through Jean Lafitte's crew), which is a datapoint in "French overseers in Haiti were relatively honor oriented and clannish".
