      Henry Ford hated black music so much he pushed square dancing on the public as an alternative, which is why it was taught in schools even when I was a boy in the 70s.

      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 …

          I hope people aren't getting the idea that there is anything inherently bad about square dancing from this. Like a lot of white supremacists, Ford was trying to take something that wasn't inherently racist and use it to racist ends.

          That being said, if you find square dancing irritating, I get it. It's not for everyone.

          Yeah, imagine trying to separate the history of dance in America from Black people.

          I’m sure you can do it, but the resultant 4 minute video and supplemental pamphlet would be rather boring.

          I think the better question at this point is, what hasn't been appropriated by white America from Black culture?
