If anything it has entred into mainstream America giving us the impression that there is no trace.

Most American music (Jazz, Blues, funk, hip hop, rap) can be traced back to African origins. They are as mainstream as it comes. They have a had a great influence on America (and the world), culturally speaking.
Outside america we tend to view them as American, but it is not.

Let them grow up partying, drinking, enjoying, studying, making friends and lovers as per the culture here. Wouldnt that be more useful? That would mean complete assimilation into the local culture (a very desirable thing).
I see lot of negative side-effects of such assimilation with a desire to be part of crowd!

I guess, World will consider them mainstream, once they have a president of African origin in USA.
