Rant:
I don't know who needs to hear this but the roots of country music come from black music, more specifically slave music.

The first string bands were comprised of enslaved people. The banjo is derived from African instruments. The structures and themes have origin in field hollers and slave spirituals.

If Beyoncé wants to make a country-western album, more power to her.

Fuckin' white people thinking they actually own the arts.
