It's not arbitrary when black folk were specifically enslaved and segregated due to the color of their skin, and therefore developed a culture around that shared experience.

If we enslaved people based on their baldness for a few centuries and then kept discriminating against them for another century, I am sure they would have their own culture born from that shared experience.

See the hole in your argument is that not all Black people experienced slavery.

Southern Black people were the only ones in America that did.

Then if you expand that definition globally...the number of total black people experiencing slavery from white people during that time, was actually the very small.

It's like saying all White People share a culture because the Irish had a hard time during British or American repression.

Your using one definition to support your argument but then saying that definition also doesn't apply to other groups.
