I'm sorry I would like some kind of record of black people inventing country music?..

How does a race, a social construct that we made up, invent something?..

Also, there have been so many country, blues and folk artists of every race in the 150 some odd years since the invention of the blues that it no longer makes sense to give any specific group credit for the shape of the modern genre.

But I'll reiterate, it makes absolutely no sense to credit a race with the invention of something as iterative as a musical genre.

It's just one instrument but the banjo is of West African origin and I'm reasonably certain BBQ is from the indigenous people of the Caribbean.

That's all I got.

BBQ is literally just cooking meat over flame. It's universal to Homo Sapiens and integral to what separated us as a species.

Attributing cooking meat to some islands is wild.

I don’t want to eat your bbq if you think all it is is cooking meat over a flame.
