The articles will analyze different dimensions about thecultural, social and economic policies that revolvearound the American Black community.

It will shed light on the obstacles African Americans must face in a society builtupon systemic racism, consciously or unconsciously determined to not allow them to forget their Blackness.

The line between black and white yet stark in a minority Anglo society. First, we will examine the recent phenomenon of Black Excellence, where the case of John Lewis will be presented followed by an analysis on the 'hunch' of Black exceptionalism.

Second, it will examine the three dimensions no person can escape and how they affect Black communities: Social, economic and political.

And finally, the perpetuation of racism through white culture appropriation will be illustrated throughout two phenomenons: blackface and black fishing.
