Stupid, name one popular music that is not influence blacks? ONE! stupid.:D Name one supposedly Black form of music that is not influenced by Whites:D In the Americas? NOT ONE! :p Silly negro. I will post a youtube video of myself eating my hat if you can show me any examples of any traditional sub saharan Black African music that is even remotely similar to rap, R&B/Soul, Funk, the Black man's Blues, etc... You don't see too many African Soul singers and Funk guitarists now do ya?;)    Jazz music was started by Whites and not Blacks but of course you don't want to accept that. So even if you think it was started by Blacks which it wasn't, but if it was... they use European instruments to play it with and Western musical theory and harmonies, and it was influenced by Marching Band music, Classical, French and Spanish Folk music and such....     Black Blues music is a spin off of Appalachian Folk, Southern Gospel and Country music, and I don't remember the guitar or harmonica being African instruments.    R&B/Soul was just started as a catch all marketing category for Black performed Pop music, and yes they developed unique styles. But still, all R&B/Soul really is is a marketing label for Pop music performed by Blacks.    Funk, well that was like a hybrid of R&B and Psychadelic Rock.     Rap, well the concept of rhyming words to music is nothing new and not a purely Black concept. Blacks were not the first or only people to recite poetry or talk out rhyming words over a beat or music. The Blacks took their break beats that they used in the old skool rap from the 80s from Kraftwerk, Europeans are the original beatmakers. All of the synthesizers, keyboards, drum machines and other equipment they use to make their beats are made by Whites, particularly Europeans. Electronic music was created by Europeans.    Rock is and always has been White music. But there has been a Black influence because there have been a few very influential Black Rockers such as Jimi Hendrix, Chuck Berry and Little Richard. But it's still a White musical genre.    That Black Gospel music of course isn't the original Gospel. Which was WHITE Southern Gospel which itself was a Countryfied, Americanized version of traditional European Christian hymns that date as far back as medievel Europe.    Of course there's Classical/Opera music which is..you know..only considered by SOPHISTICATED, INTELLIGENT, CLASSY and REFINED people to be the greatest music ever created. Don't see too many Black composers huh? Pretty soon you Afro nuts will be saying Mozart and Tchaikovsky were Black too, along with the Egyptiunz n' shi# dog.    Every type of Electronic music I can think of was created by Whites.     Of course the idea of POP music itself was created by Whites.    Of course the piano, acoustic and electric guitar, saxophone, trumpet, trombone, tuba, accordian, clarinet, drum kit, bass guitar, harmonica, fiddle, violin, etc...etc...were created by Whites.      So again...name one genre of popular music that wasn't influenced by Whites and doesn't use instruments and electronic machines created by Whites? and doesn't use Western musical scales, harmonies, etc...:)
