American Culture Quotes

We do not have an American culture. We have a white American culture and a black American culture. So when those two groups try to get together, it's very difficult because they each feel like they have the right to their culture.

Michael Emerson
From our earliest years, American culture reinforces the notion that we are all completely independent individuals. Sometimes we call it “personal responsibility” and other times we call it “rugged individualism,” which, in and of themselves, are not entirely negative concepts. Taken too far however, these cultural concepts lead us to believe we really are the captains of our own ship, that our primary responsibility is to our own selves, and that we can do this all on our own.

Benjamin L. Corey

Jews like to write and sing. In America, a lot of us have been eager to show that we're part of American culture. But it all goes back to King David writing Psalms.
