Considering their tiny population are Jamaicans the most influential people ever?

[NoChillJones]

I am not even Jamaican but i gotta pay respect. A tiny island with a population of not even up to 3 million people gave the world Reggae, Bob Marley, Usain Bolt, Marcus Garvey, Notorious BIG. I am pretty sure i am missing a lot more things inspired by Jamaican culture that have become mainstays in today's society.

No that would be the African American male....nice try though

Typical American; thinking American-style BBQ is comparable to haute cuisine.

Sports obviously But AAs probably has the richest history of Black scholars, artist (not just music), activist and influence on food, fashion, literary tradition, etc

We built one of the greatest empires in history and have been a reformative influence on said empire which obviously has had profound impact globally i.e. No CRM means no Immigration act means no 1 million + Jamaicans in the US.

Reggaeton ain't original at all, it's only recycled reggae in Spanish.


You are saying that the black experience in America is what created jazz. The white instruments and the black struggle, but Africa originated the expressions and sounds that AAs used to express that experience.

As Africans in America it would seem obvious that the music's origins ain't in America because of the expression anymore than it's in Europe just because of the instruments.

AAs didn't take African sounds and throw it in a pot with white people's tools and created jazz based on their experience at the time.

Africans just took European instruments and freestyled sounds that were already distinctly African.

It's just African sounds played with uncommon instruments to Africa. The American experience didn't create jazz/blues, elements of blues were already in African music.

......what type of fukkery.........

 

[Cadillac]

bringing up europeans/whites (yes, the jews being mentioned are white) is the only way they can get any real counter argument against Aframs.

It's so sad how these nikkas refuse to give us credit

How Southern Barbecue got to Texas
Hint: Slaves Brought it With Them

A Southern Barbecue, a wood engraving from a sketch by Horace Bradley, published in Harper’s Weekly, July 1887

Tim Miller helped explain why Texans might have forgotten slaves’ influence in his book, Barbecue: A History.

Of course, barbecue would have come to much of Texas the same way it came to most of the American South: through the influx of slave owners and their slaves, moving west across the continent. The rewriting of the story of Texas described above not only made Texas history, focusing on cowboys, a proper subject after the Civil War, but in the process also wrote blacks out of the state’s history entirely, leaving a question mark in terms of where barbecue came from.

By the time Robb Walsh wrote his award-winning article for the Houston Press, “Barbecue in Black and White,” the black pitmaster stereotype was gone from Texas. Walsh asked, “How did it happen that we forgot blacks used to cook barbecue in Texas in the first place?” Walsh also recounts an admission from a famous white barbecue joint owner about Memphis’ barbecue roots. Charlie Vergos of the famous Rendezvous restaurant told Lolis Elie in his documentary, Smokestack Lightning: A Day in the Life of Barbecue:

Brother, to be honest with you, [barbecue] don’t belong to the white folks, it belongs to the black folks. It’s their way of life, it was their way of cooking. They created it. They put it together. They made it. And we took it and we made more money out of it than they did. I hate to say it, but that’s a true story.

Kansas City-style barbecue refers to the specific regional barbecue style of slowly smoked meat that evolved from the pit of Henry Perry in the early 1900s in Kansas City, Missouri. Kansas City barbecue is slow-smoked over a variety of woods and then covered with a thick tomato- and molasses-based sauce.[1]

this is false.

The success AA's had in the late 19th-early 20th century. Had huge implications for the rest of the diaspora in pop culture

I guess we AAs should start listing Asian and White american achievements as ours, too.
