and Jazz is mostly Spanish/Portugese influenced you idiot. You need to start brushing up on your music mate, seems your a bit tone deaf.  Yeah, Jazz was born in New Orleans and we all know about the heavy French and also Spanish influence in that town. You can really hear the French and Spanish influence on Jazz. But of course, Marxist media goons and professors would like us to think it's 100% African which is completely ludicrous:rolleyes: Even Black Jazz musicians like Jelly Roll Morton and Dizzy Gillespie said that a Latin tinge(as in Spanish or French) is a crucial element of Jazz music and that the rhythm in most Jazz is a Latin influenced rhythm, not African. You can just go listen to the Spanish and French traditional styles like the Quadrilles or Contradanza among many other styles, and Marching Band music and Classical music and you can hear where Jazz comes from... It's really quite clear to the ear.  There are a lot of traditional styles of music in France and Spain that sound similar to Jazz, which is probably why France in particular developed a real big Jazz scene, lots of Jazz cafes and such. It appeals to them because they already have styles that are similar and which no doubt heavily influenced Jazz in it's infancy back in Old New Orleans.    Africa? There isn't even anything that remotely resembles Jazz:rolleyes:    Besides, who gives a crap if Blacks did single handedly invent Jazz or Blues from completely African influences and no White influence whatsoever?(a notion that is completely ridiculous):rolleyes::rolleyes: What difference would it make? I bet not too many White racialists are listening to Black Bluesmen and Black Jazz musicians anyways:rolleyes: Wow, their one and only contribution to our society(besides crime, urban warfare, urban blight, etc..of course) is some POP music, not serious Art music or anything, just nonsensical little tooty frooty wop bop a loo wop stuff that most White people only like to listen to because they think it's funny and amusing, like watching a little kid bang on pots and pans and make silly noises:D    I don't think some Pop music, which is usually quite trashy I might add, would make up for all of the crime and sheer devastation they have caused us here in America....all of the violence, murder, rape, robbery, urban blight, etc...
