Word, I'm sick of hearing this imaginary European influence on black music in this segregated ass country. Apartheid jim crow era, whites were right there with us! They just had so much influence on our musicians, yeah fukkin right.
It's always some weirdo cracker who decides to look into black history, probably gotta a PHD in black history or some shyt, just arbitrarily declares that whites helped create jazz or rock n roll, that our music was a "fusion" of European and African influences "the negroes got it from the whites!" Even though our music sounded nothing like European music. fukk outta here!
