Cultural Slave

The proposition of continuous self-disenfranchisement within a culture. To iterate or inculcate the notion that a free person must define themselves as a non-free person (or slave) to honor, adhere to, or represent their culture.

Young African Americans are discouraged from seeking educational and vocational opportunity in life so as to keep them as slaves to their culture, and keep them trapped as cultural slaves.
