No global black culture exists to ground a unified black aesthetic.

Evidence

It is almost impossible to assume there is a global black culture that would allow the construction of a black aesthetic identifiable as such. And what is common to most thinkers is to find out whether or not the setting of an artistic exhibition labeled “black art” remains a sufficient step in the elaboration of an artistic identity built around a racial origin without holding it as exclusive. — David Theo Goldberg, John Solomos, A Companion to Racial and Ethnic Studies, 2905 (#expands, via linked claim)
