      I mean the whole thing is at the end of the day there is no such thing *really* as "Black music" or "white music", the very nature of music is everyone stealing from each other It's just a matter of who gets paid, and who gets credited, and who gets played in respectable venueshttps://twitter.com/babyboymonaghan/status/1263587690420695041 …

      The ridiculous thing is that some of the best square dance callers were Black and it had Black origins: https://www.jstor.org/stable/41446577?seq=1 …

      Like that's the thing, racists keep on looking for a popular music genre that's untainted by Black influence in the US and there just isn't any such thing "Classic rock" is an invention of the 1990s, taking the popular music of the 1970s and just deleting all the Black people

      As we've seen with the "Old Town Road" kerfuffle the idea of country music being "white music" is bullshit It's got a lot of racist people in it who *want* it to be white music, who say things about it descending from European folk music etc

          But all the stuff that makes it "country" -- that makes it recognizably "American" -- is as tied to the African-American influence on US culture as any other kind of music

          Hell, it's *especially* true for country music White Southerners have always been in denial about their proximity to Black culture, that slaveowners' favorite meals were taken from the cuisine of enslaved people, that Southern English and AAVE evolved as sibling dialects

          I mean that's kind of the joke of this Black Jeopardy SNL sketch with Tom Hanks isn't it Poor white people in the South (like his old character Forrest Gump) had A LOT in common culturally with poor Black people in the Southhttps://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7VaXlMvAvk …

          Except, of course, for that one little detail that poor white people had a fundamentally higher legal status they could lord over Black people that was the one source of solace and pride their whole identity revolved around Which starts to come up just before the sketch cuts off

          I'm remembering an article about the evolution of "Southern English", and how there's a clear split where white Southerners started talking differently in the 1960s Theorizing this was a reaction to civil rights movement, they deliberately wanted to sound less like Black people

          Specifically that white Southern accents suddenly started becoming a lot more rhotic That if you think of a white Southerner not saying his Rs it sounds old-fashioned, like an aristocrat from Gone with the Wind

          (Yes, the meme about saying the n-word with a "hard R" is an actual serious thing)
