[quote=Four Eyes;6030668][quote=-The Patriot-;6024569]       If white people invented Jazz, Rock, and Blues then why were they condemned by white supremacists of the past condem them when they crossed over into the mainstream?   I don't think they were. The leader of the Original Dixieland Jass Band, Nick LaRocca, was well known to be racist as Hell, alot of the early White Dixieland musicians were. Rockabilly and all types of later Rock music, especially Southern Rock, have always been very popular with White racists. Alot of Puritan type Christians didn't like early Rock n' Roll/Rockabilly or Jazz because they thought it was the devil's music, they thought people should only listen to religious music. They didn't like early rock n' roll because they thought it was a bunch of wild and crazy Hillbilly music!!    The reason black music is from america is because our culture was diluted through slavery,   Black Africans don't make any music? Nothing other than banging on a drum and shouting and stamping their feet?    most blacks in the U.S. can't even trace their geneaology out of the country, thus African-American culture and Afican culture are further separated than something like Irish-American and Irish culture.   Excuses excuses...   Ever notice that when you talk about blacks you talk about an entire continent but when you talk about whites you can pick specific countires?   No, not an entire continent, not Northern Africa.      Also New Jack swing was a facet of hip-hop,   No it wasn't, it was R&B music.    and here are some black rockers for you: TV on the Radio, The Dirtbombs, Bad Brains (highly influential to the hardcore movement), Bloc Party, The Dears, Mighty Fine, The Stalkers, The Gories, the Planets (were approached by Malcom Mclaren about being their manager before the Pistols started), Buzz and the Flyers (80s rockabilly),   Never heard of 'em. These guys all sound pretty recent too. Probably why I've never heard of them because modern pop music sucks donkey testicles.    thin Lizzy,   their singer was half Black and half Irish.    Cody ChesnuTT...   Who's he?    I could go on without saying Jimmy Hendrix   He spelled it, Jimi, he was about 1/4 Cherokee, and the Black community talked crap about him all the time for being a race traitor. For playing White music, and moving to England and hanging out with all White friends and having White girlfriends. Whites called him the Electric Spade because the idea of a Black rock star was unusual and so Hendrix was considered a novelty. Hendrix wanted to be an honorary Englishman.
