Country music originated from blacks?

[IllmaticDelta]

I posted him before about his connection to basic country guitar/travis picking style in Kentucky and fiddle/mandolin influence in Bluegrass

Shultz, the son of a former slave, was born into a family of touring musicians in Ohio County, Kentucky, in 1886.[2] In 1900, Shultz began studying guitar under his uncle, developing a jazzy "thumb-style" method of playing guitar that eventually evolved into the Kentucky style for which such musicians as Chet Atkins, Doc Watson and Merle Travis would be known.[2] Professionally, Shultz was a laborer, traveling from Kentucky through Mississippi and New Orleans, working with coal or as a deck hand.[3]

In the early 1920s, he played fiddle in the otherwise white hillbilly and Dixieland band of Forest "Boots" Faught. To the occasional complaints this brought (objections like "You've got a colored fiddle. We don't want that!"), Faught would simply reply, "I've got the man because he's a good musician."[3] Shultz also played with Charlie Monroe and gave Bill Monroe the opportunity to play his first paid musical gig, joining together at a square dances with Shultz playing fiddle and Monroe on guitar.[3][4]

If you go to this link, you can hear an old interview from the 1960's with The Everly Brothers and their father Ike talking about Arnold Shultz and the origin of Travis Picking

Now that's how you shut down undercover cacs and c00ns down with receipts and proof and facts. Even after proof was posted they still tried to low key give white people credit. Then dude on the first page tried to claim white people started rap and that theory got killed real quick. Shout out the good brothers who posted proof that black people started blues country rock n roll and rap with undeniable stone cold proof. Cacs always trying to claim our history and that's why c00ns exist because they fall for it and look at cacs as the originals and as superior which is hardcore lies

You mean white people love everything black people created so much that they try to mimick everything black people do but still can't get it right? Black people taking over everything
