African Americans have made many valuable contributions to sports, entertainment and civil rights.

But as for rap and African American's contributions to music post 90's... they'd made it worse. And fuck rap.

Or just pop. big band and swing music wouldn't have existed without black americans Okay what swing is a specific style of jazz. "big band" is a common instrumentation used to play it white bands were more popular during the Swing Era, but they didn't invent that. they all got everything from black bands - the two biggest influences being Duke Ellington and Count Basie swing grew out of Dixieland, which largely started in black communities in New Orleans. early jazz has roots from a few different musical identities: the New Orleans funeral marches (they would parade down the street with brass instruments - coming from military brass bands + black spiritual music), blues (based, again, on black spiritual music), and ragtime (a synthesis of African syncopation and European classical music - ultimately, another style that was invented by black musicians) there would literally be no such thing as jazz without black americans. by extension, there would be no such thing as "swing", and though it's possible that the "big band" instrumentation or something similar might still have developed anyway, the music played by such an ensemble would be completely different --- peanut butter and dick <cite>averagejoel posted [p:890903530] in What would...
