  This is getting tiresome. Blacks invented blues, its cords and scale. You will not get it through you head. Most WN here know the truth. Am done here. Enjoy the black mans gift to world though.:D  This coming from the guy who thinks slavery was ONLY IN THE SOUTH. Well there you have it folks, Blacks created all American Southern culture and music. :p:rolleyes: Blacks did not INVENT the Blues you are truly ignint! Even most Black Blues players will tell you the BLUES was not a Black INVENTION. It's something they picked up from White Country singers. How much Blues do you hear anywhere else in the world where Blacks are present other than the South? Brazil? Dominica? Cuba? Jamaica? Haiti? Africa? the East Coast? NOPE. They picked it up from the hill folk, it's common knowledge to anyone with a reasonable understanding of the evolution of American music. The Black man's gift to the world?? um...I'm still trying to think of what this could be, I don't consider astronomically high crime rates and urban blight to necessarily be a gift...You're a dumbass. But you're Black right? I guess it's not your fault , it's nature's fault. Evolution seems to have passed you over.    PS- Hey musical genius, what are these cords you keep talking about? It's a CHORD. Mr. Slavery was only in the South.
