The food, including Cajun & Creole, crawfish, The French Quarter, Mardi Gras, voodoo, bayous, the music (birthplace of jazz), Louis Armstrong, Fats Domino, Jerry Lee Lewis, salt domes/caverns (which is why much of the US Strategic Petroleum Reserve is located there), the template for haunted mansions and graveyards.

Happy Turducken Day :)

Almost entirely aspects of black culture, which is still extremely persecuted there. The south is still extremely backwards.

I count 3-4 out of 12 items in that list as being specific to black culture.

And AFAIK they're celebrated there, not persecuted (perhaps with the exception of voodoo.)
