  How can something be Africanized in America if it has no connection to black Africa. :confused:It's not as if whitey scooped the black mans brains out and replaced with his own to create a new being. :D Musically whites took black music sqeezed it through the mind of whites to create bluegrass, country and all the genres of modern rock music. The foundation is still black. Trying to say everything non- whites create in American automatically become white because they live in majority white country is utter BS. ofcourse people can take bit and pieces from each other. Can you sincerely tell me that without blacks you would have rock, Jazz and blues as we know it today? Hell no!:D  BLACKS WERE ASSIMILATED 99.9% to WHITE SOUTHERN/AMERICAN CULTURE. You seem to think that the LARGE WHITE CULTURALLY ESTABLISHED WHITE MAJORITY, assimilated to this little Black minority which was kept in slave quarters on plantations, and even once slavery ended were heavily segregated, sure buddy keep telling yourself that:rolleyes: You Blacks assimilated to our culture, not the other way around. If so...it's the first time in history that the LARGE DOMINANT CULTURAL MAJORITY assimilated into a SMALL CULTURALLY DETACHED MINORITY, not going to happen. Blacks lost all essential Africanness nearly the second they stepped on American soil. You are.......an idiot.    http://www.childrensmuseum.org/speci..._goodgrief.jpg   No! we would not have Rock, Jazz and the Blues as we know it today! As I pointed out in my supposed to be last post on this subject yesterday! Blacks have played Jazz, Rock and Blues and therefore influenced it's course, but they did not INVENT these genres. Without Hendrix Rock would not be how it is today, without the Black Delta Blues players Blues would not be how it is today etc...Blacks influenced American music to a degree, but without Blacks we would still have Rock, Jazz, and the Blues. But you're right it would probably be a bit different than it is today as we know it.
