  By giving credit where credit is due, no more and no less - as you suggest.  Giving credit where credit is due is what this thread is all about. I'm sick of hearing that Whites stole Rock N' Roll from Blacks it's absolutely not true. Even the blues and jazz have White origins, if anybody stole anything it was the Blacks. I hate hearing how Whites stole Rock, or how the Blues is a purely Black originated music style because it isn't. White Country singers used to sing about the blues all the time, before the Black Blues. When the Blacks first started playing Blues nobody called it simply the Blues, it was the Black Blues or Black man's Blues as opposed to the White honky tonk/country blues songs. Even jazz in it's beginnings was heavily influenced by White music, and Jews too. I simply would like to see credit given where credit is due :cool: I'm sick of seeing Blacks get 100% credit for all of these musical styles that had just as much, in fact more, White influence on them.
