The role of culture is very important when we talk about issues and trends in the black-white relations. Racial inequalities have come a long way since its inception way back in the colonial era. In the contemporary world, the cultural differences in the white-black relations remain, as equality has been achieved in terms of skin color and gender. The equality rights have been achieved and are constitutionally valid. However the cultural differences along with values and traditions still remain. In various cultural aspects like food, music, arts and many more aspects, there are differences and cultural gaps found between the two communities.
