The concept of heritage & culture.
To distinguish the two terms; culture is what a particular society or community does daily & heritage is the origin of a person or people's ancestors. I'm going to put the "Everyone is from Africa" nonsense on ice for now because the first homo sapiens were from Africa, yes, but put simply, if you are not dark skinned with short, spirally hair: your immediate ancestors (ancestors who look like you) don't originate from Africa & arrived too recently in history for your genetic group to be considered African . Culture & heritage are often used interchangeably but they are not exactly the same thing. CULTURE I'm watching one of the popular dramas briefly on a TV (I rarely watch TV, I'm more a talk radio fan) & the mother is scolding the daughter for planning to marry someone without letting the family know. I imagine how differently this could turn out in a white family where eloping is more frequent. This is black culture in South Afric
