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 …

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
