  If blacks were so assimilated why the black hate on SF and other WN web sights. What ever blacks do good or bad its white, no? 2 out 3 threads started on SF are about blacks-all negative.   Sure enough. Until the Jews from NYC stirred up trouble with their civil rights movement. It's been nothing but chaos and hostilities for the most part ever since.   . You do not find many of these things in Europe because they are products of AMERICAN, SOUTHERN CULTURE, WHITE. Once Whites showed up in the American south they just kept on coming up with new things, we're cool like that:cool: :)    SCOTS IRISH aka HILLBILLIES aka APPALACHIA and the OZARKS. Creoles(WHITE), Cajuns, the confluence of Celtic, French, Spanish, Anglo and to a lesser extent German culture in the American south. The north was more homogenous. So were Australia and NZ which were almost completely British, and not very many Scots Irish or French. And no, Blacks didn't contribute anything African to those White Southern cultural contributions because they were assimilated very very quickly.:)   Well the first rap song was by Blondie now that you mention it:D Plus, due to things like television and Blacks being given more freedom they were exposed to real African culture eventually. And, the idea of putting poetry and/or fast talking to music is NOT a new uniquely Black concept at all, and the little drum machines and neat things like this they use are products of White minds. Actually.
