Since America is part of the English speaking world you really can't exclude parts of Africa since American culture is like 80% African culture.

Can't say I agree with that entirely, considering the differences between African attitudes towards philosophy, culture, superstitions, and storytelling and the Western equivalent. They still believe in witches over there.

Here's a woman trying to explain Hamlet to an African tribe in the late 60's. Their cultural understanding is so vastly different that they actually can't comprehend the story without adding in things (they literally tell her that she is wrong while she's explaining Hamlet and correct her on the story, which is considered something you do while someone is telling a story). Music is absolutely derived from jazz and thus American African culture, but I wouldn't say that the number of culture is probably more around 10% actually African derived. Maybe another 10% for urban youth. (I'm saying this without doing any real attempt at math or knowing the exact amount of large cultural influences, I just know storytelling and how people talk to eachother doesn't seem to be one of them).

You know, I understand being upset that tribal land was conquered, but it's not like this stuff hasn't happened through history, instead of the word "Steal" "conquered" is usually used. Here's a great example of America learning stuff from the Indians, the story of the https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=79RApCgwZFw Hiawatha tribe, who you can actually see a symbol of on the American dollar (a bundle of arrows). The idea of a unified Union partly came from them, though we always seem to credit the Romans and just the Romans.
