African Americans Literally Created American Culture

In this video I wanted to talk about just how much African Americans not only contributed but literally invent music styles that have come to be known as White American. From Elvis & Frank Sinatra to Scott Joplin, Ella Fitzgerald & Little Richard, Black contributions to American Music & Culture continue to be underappreciated or underrepresented in American history or culture. I also wanted to take the time to talk about WHY i think white Americans end up taking from or appropriating black culture & the American History that led to it.

Black folks know. Black and gay folks created a lot of American culture! Thanks for doing your research.

Great video! I actually touched on this in a video I made a while back about Hamilton and its use of Hip-Hop and rap. in mainstream white society these historical musical genres are often divorced from the events that inspired them. Negro Spirituals and Gospel wouldn't exist without slavery, and Blues, Country, R&B, and Rock owe their roots to the struggles of the Jim Crow era. Hip-hop, in turn, emerged partly as a response to Reagan's war on drugs. It's interesting that while many acknowledge that blues was big in the 1940s and 50s, they often miss the fact that these genres were created to express and communicate the diverse experiences within the black community. It's not about saying white people can't be rappers, but rather, it's disheartening when they disrespectfully overshadow the true origins of a genre. Being acknowledged as a prominent figure in a genre because you're a notable participant is particularly distopian and challenging for black artists, given the lack of recognition our community truly deserves.

Notice how truthful videos such as this one are somehow always minimally circulated in Youtube's algorithm.

OMG love you for this!! This just made me appreciate and love your content & viewpoints even more. Thanks for putting a spotlight on this very necessary topic! Ps:i'll never forget as a Black kid in the South being into nine inch nails & smashing pumpkins and kids ridiculing me for "liking that white boy music" not realizing there may not have been this form of music if it wasn't for us(our ancestors). Im glad more history & information has gotten exposed nowadays though! 👏🏾

THANK YOU! I was a Hip Hop Studies Major in college and the Study of Hip Hop, is the study of Black American Music which is the study of the African American Diaspora and the entire history of the Trans-Atlantic Slave Trade. It is the identity of the unidentifiable You’ve done a splendid job summarizing literally months of deep study 🙏🏽🔥💯

I had a White music teacher that told me years ago that "We would not have American music without black people,." his words, not mine, Lol. That music and culture by the way started with "negro spirituals" first, then the other musical genres listed in this video followed. Gospel music shaped and had a major impact on ALL so-called American or "black" music.

Even in the modern day with EDM. From using 808's to taking the term "trap" to describe certain EDM genres. It will never end.

I been saying this for years and I'm white.You could say something pretty similar to this for many musical styles created in the Caribbean & Latin America too. The key ingredient in most of them? Substantial black cultural input.

Yes! I literally say this all the time. If it wasn’t for black Americans, we wouldn’t have the amazing music today.

The Seattle sound that nirvana is popular for was started by a black woman!

One correction. Rock n Roll came directly out of RnB. Rock n Roll was a marketing term a Cleveland radio station came up with to sell rythm and blues to white kids. Rockabilly was something different. Elvis started out as rockabilly and was turned on to RnB by BB King at Sun Records.

Irvin berlin's first lyrics for "Puttin' on the Ritz" made fun of viewing black social gatherings oblivious to the fact that the viewers were absorbing black culture.
