You are right though that Sister Rosetta Sharp should be referred to as the "Mother of Rock and Roll".

@Based Latino segregation is promoted in america because we're like prisoners to powerful people, and prisons themselves are segregated to weaken and divide the populations inside them to make the inmates easier to control and less likely to revolt as one cohesive group. it's the same principle outside of prison; as power becomes more consolidated, our population is pushed to be more divided so control can be asserted over us more easily.

@@RC-bs6eb Yes, all prisons in the United States are 100% segregated by skin color so guards can more easily manage the population inside. If the races are getting along too well, they will intentionally move people around and even reward inmates for sowing discord among the other races so they can maintain control over the prisoners more easily. It's unethical, but effective. However, if they didn't do this prisoners would escape more often, and officers, even entire prisons, would more likely be overthrown.

@@Diegoflyboy Well everything is media, from books to paintings, to watching a concert. I guess what you mean is 'popularised media'? And yeah, people are prone to do that. We all are. We do that because we find a feeling of connection when certain media made others feel the same. And yet everyone has these more unique connections too. Which aren't very popularised. In which you don't need or want a connection with too many other people. Great artists always rise to the top, even after death often. It happens because people love great artists, and we push them all the way to the top as an expression of the love felt. It's as if whole masses of people learn to pray through artists, because it's not about the rational thoughts, but about what you're feeling. When the world of emotion is in balance, people feel light. As if they can face the whole world.

It wasnt hidden, most white Americans just didnt care about what black music was about back then. Thats the fact. Of course there was many who did, the jazz scene, blues, etc had many white pioneers and fans but the average white American didnt take a interest as much as the British did in blues music. Its like saying Mozart was adored in his day because he was white.. no, it was because thats what white people liked at that time. I mean in the early days of techno-music and EDM the vast majority of white people hated that type of music, only a small portion listened to dubstep and EDM before that, and synthpop before that, then it slowly grew organically until those genres became wildly famous. Same with rock and blues.... Its like what Marty says in BTTF after playing Chuck Berry to people in the early 50s: "Oh, i guess you aint ready for that yet.. but your kids are gunna love it."
