Yeah but Al Gore was identifying as a black man when he invented the Internet.

Actual black country artists today are pretty much limited to Darius Rucker.

By the way, the Pointer Sisters could get pretty country.

I said today. Modern, relevant artists. There are black artists in history who did country (the Pointer Sisters don’t qualify). Black artists account for probably 1% of country music, but I don’t expect that to stop them from arguing “everything good in country music is because of black people” like they do everything else.

We’re sitting here watching the Al Sharptoning of the world. At this rate, in ten years black people will have created everything, and it’ll be a crime to call bullshite on it.

Country was no doubt mostly derived from folk music back in the UK/Ireland. However, the banjo was not imported from Europe but was invented in Africa and came over with slaves. In fact, the word Banjo is believed to have an African etymology.
Is it fair to say black people "invented" country? No. But I believe it is true they influenced it with the banjo and later on with blues.

But we won't live long enough to see that odd MLK/ Mrs. MLK statue removed.

Not only did they not invent country music, they didn’t invent jazz either. Sicilians invented jazz and Sicilian immigrants brought it to New Orleans.

This is how they portray "Yakub" who invented us lowly White people.
This is so "typical" of them. "We make him wid a big head...cuz his brain be real big."

Is there anything that White people did? For all this information I keep getting it seems that White people didn't do jack $hit...

Kool Herc was from Jamaica originally and brought some of the reggae influences into the street party world and part of that was an early form of rap.

In fact, country music wouldn’t exist as it does today without the contributions and innovations of Black musicians.
Why can’t the Africans get their shite together? Look what they’ve done here!

They just used them as a starting point for the conversation. They didn’t say Beyoncé made country music.

I'm really sick of the 'black people invented music' thing.
And classical music.

White people would still be living in grass huts without electricity and plumbing if not for the ingenuity, innovation and civilized society that black people gave us
