slxcc:alwaysbewoke:Black creative geniuses like Sister Rosetta Tharpe is why it hurts me that BLACK PEOPLE think Rock & Roll is “white people music.” We invented all of it. Rock & Roll is so Black that white people drained every drop of Blackness out of it and called what remained Metal. That’s how much Rock & Roll is Black music.Don’t let white people and their “Elvis created Rock & Roll” nonsense fool you. Rock & Roll IS Black music. Even if it’s not your cup of tea, don’t deny or forget that it’s OURS. I never knew this I don’t get how some people can still call things black people things or white people things. I bet you if a white person wrote something like this about something white he’d get shunned for his “racism”. Why can’t we just enjoy music? ️Hell why can’t we just enjoy anything without the need of calling it a white people thing or a black people thing. It’s 2015, don’t label it. Just enjoy it. And this is coming from a Hispanic who enjoys everything music. -- source link
