The music that bluegrass grew out of was made by black Americans, which brings us back to:
The only worthwhile culture from the south was created by either by non-whites, or very poor whites who were sharing notes with black or Latino people.
I think it’s a fair assessment to say the roots of a huge proportion of “southern” culture, art, and music are directly derived from the people who were an enforced second class (or property) in the region. Hell, white “southern” culture now in no small part still defines itself by its hatred of the groups whose contributions are the foundations of their cultural identity today. It’s not pulling the one drop rule when these fucks still use their “culture” to justify hate of the people who built the foundations they stand on
Bluegrass is like rock and roll. It started as
a black thing. The banjo itself was invented by enslaved creole people and western Africans in the 1600s. It is cool music though.
