The template for a standard rock band had been set by white people (Guitar, Bass, Drums, vocals, no piano…) while the early black Rock 'n' rollers of the era (Little Richard for example) just played piano based rock with little or no guitar which was only popular for a while in the late 50s/early 60s and then died out. The only real black rock star of that time was Chuck Berry who was very much influenced by White country and bluegrass music and was called the "black hillbilly." About 10 years later there was Jimi Hendrix, but even the Black Panthers called him a race traitor for playing "White music."
Even blues was influenced by white folk music to a large degree. Dallas Blues, the first twelve-bar blues song (1912) was by a German American, Hart A. Wand, and of course blues was all played on white designed instruments.
As for the rest of American culture that might be known around the world, Hollywood has always been mostly Jewish and our great literature (Irving, Poe, Fitzgerald, Hemingway, Mitchell, etc) is all by white authors.
