"Blacks didn't really invent [Blues, Jazz, Rock and roll, Rap]"

The blues came from the British Isles. An early blues song is Greensleeves. Greensleeves is a song about a man who was taken advantage of by a woman and then rejected. It dates from the late 1500s.
The first recorded jazz song was Livery Stable Blues by the Dixieland Jass Band, recorded in 1917. Band member Nick Larocca claimed to have invented jazz and his music is the first known examples of it.
Rock and roll is often claimed to be speeded up blues. This claim ignores the influence of white country music in rock and roll. Either way rock and roll developed from white music. The first known recorded example of a rock and roll song is Move It On Over, recorded by Hank Williams in 1947. It was the template for songs such as Rock Around the Clock and Roll Over Beethoven.
Oh, and the term "rock and roll" was used by whites in the 1800s. For example, it was mentioned in one of the Little House On the Prairie books, set around 1880. It probably refers to the motion of trains. Black supremacists try to credit blacks with inventing the term, using a preposterous explanation.
Blacks invented modern "rap culture" to some extent, of course Jews invented gangsta rap but Blacks played a key role to the point that without Blacks we just wouldn't have it. Rap was being done by whites in the 1920s. The first recorded rap song was recorded in 1927 by Swedish artist Evert Taube. It was called Kinesiska Muren. Don't believe what I say? Listen to the songs yourself.
Black music [Blues] grew more melodic; better structured; gained dynamics; learned better technique.
White music [Country] gained back some of the rawness and bawdiness that had been refined out of more formal European music over the centuries.
In the American south where this interplay of cultures happened both blacks and whites just thought of [Blues and Country] as one style that had different emphasis depending on which culture was performing it.
Rock music
Rock and roll drew from a variety of different influences, some were black and some were white. Though early rock and roll was made popular by people like Chuck Berry and Little Richard, it would be wrong to credit the entire black race with inventing rock and roll just because of them.
Many of Elvis Presley's hit songs were written by Jerry Leiber and Mike Stoller, two American white men. "Hound Dog" was recorded in 1952, three years before Chuck Berry released "Johnny B. Goode". Rock and roll is much more than just the standard 12 bar blues progression. Whites heavily contributed to the development of early rock and roll by using a variety of sounds and chord progressions. Much of rock and roll's musical style can be traced to back to the sounds of country, folk, and big band music.
Now there's no denying that blacks played a key role in creating rock and roll, but to say that they were solely responsible for it and that white people "stole" it from them is a common lie that many blacks will try to put forth. There seems to be a double standard when it comes to these issues. It seems that when one black man does something innovative, everyone wants to credit the ENTIRE black race for that accomplishment. Yet, if some blacks mess up and do something bad, everyone will jump to their defense and say you shouldn't judge the whole race by the actions of a few.
In any case, rock music developed well beyond the 50's, and whites (mostly from the UK) did far more to spur the evolution of the genre than blacks when you take everything into consideration.
