Not black people for pratically inventing music?

Not one of those questions playing the race cards.. but curious. I could only name a handful of good white artists..

True, but Black people invented a lot more than just music. You have to actually go to a bookstore or the library to find a book on the inventions that Black people made. Meanwhile, you hear about the others everywhere all the time.

Black people are credited for a lot. Rap, jazz, break dancing, etc. White people created classical music back in Europe.

Modern-day music as we know it, dance, style, clothing, language, the Hip Hop movement, world-class and unrivaled athletes, and much more... Blacks have contributed a lot to this world.

we've invented more than that but yeah, you're right. a lot of modern music has black/African roots, nobody wants to admit it though!

I get you, like jazz right?

I'm not black, nor do I like jazz music,

but I know many whites do,

blacks have many accomplishments that go unnoticed.

Blacks created a lot more than music, its just something our little "history books" fail to tell us. Now i know Mexican is not a race, but they still contributed to things too! Lol.

You are right. They may be loud as hell but they do have a lot of talent in music.

All the music supposedly invented by blacks is played on instruments invented by whites using a musical scale invented by whites.



And if you look closer at the technology, you'll find that whites did that, too.
