repression of the host peoples culture

That statement right there is problematic here in the US. The "host peoples" would be the indigenous peoples of North America (who collectively refer to themselves these days as American Indians), and their culture was indeed brutally repressed by people who came here from elsewhere (Europe). African culture has been a part of the cultural mix in North America for just about as long as European culture. So here, at any rate, European culture is not the host culture to African culture.
