There's no way I have the time or the inclination to respond to the OP other than to say, yes, certainly a white person can teach African-American culture, but their teaching would be limited. If anyone were to take a class in African-American culture why the hell would they not want to take the class from an African-American teacher?
Cultural history and cultural studies are important, especially to members of minority cultures. I can't think of a good reason why I'd want a person not of the specific culture teaching a course in a specific culture.
