"Negroes invented blues"
Not true. Look at the 1580 English folk song "Greensleeves". Blues is just a bastardized version of European folk music with some added black elements.
"Negroes invented rock" Not true. Rock at first was just sped up blues. Hank Williams' 1947 song "Move It On Over" introduced country to the genre. Not black.
"Negroes invented rap" Not true. The first recorded rap song was in the 1920s by a Swede.
Then rap continued to develop throughout the 1930s. Here's more examples:
This was actually the first black rap song, and it was made in 1937. This is a fact that the pseudo-historians at Wikipedia deny.
And yet people will have you believe that rap didn't start until Pigmeat Markham's "Here Comes The Judge" was released in 1968. In fact, there have been instances of rap that pre-dated the first video. Take for example Rossini's La Danza (1835) and Gilbert and Sullivan's I am the very model of modern major general (1879). In fact, in 5th - 16th century Europe, there was this practice called "flyting" (sometimes spelled "fliting") where two poets would roast each other in front of a cheering crowd until one defeats the other. Strikingly similar to that scene from Eminem's 2002 movie "8 Mile." The earliest recorded instance of this happening in the US dates back to the Civil War.
"Negroes invented jazz" Wrong again. Here is the first recorded Jazz song by the first recorded Jazz band.
