Mychal Denzel Smith wrote, “…and we have raised families and created culture that is emulated (and stolen) the world over.” What he means by this is that, for a long time Black people have strived to reach equal within the world. Before this half of a sentence, Smith mentions the struggles Black people went through. These struggles they went through motivates them to create a culture that approaches the nearest equality (from what I understood).
