No one said we invented singing...
Why are you ignoring the research that are posting up?
"NOBODY invented nothing"
That doesn't even make sense

You're conveniently following the same textbook as right-wing/MAGA/white supremacists online
Believe whatever you wanna believe...no on on this site will be able to convince you if black people created or didn't create country music
It's corny attempt of a bait thread
Breh Mickey Guyton has been putting out music even before Lil Nas X existence
You're proving my point without even realizing it.
Artist and fans can only do so much when 1. They don't have the power and notoriety and fanbase that someone like Beyonce does to help fuel their argument and 2. They're still dealing with the same problems of racism keeping from airtime playing that people are saying is happening to Beyonce.
The only reason Nelly didn't get the pushback when he hopped on the country music wave is because it's Nelly and even he isn't getting radio play for his country songs outside of the joints he did with FGL.

Yes, Black people created it. I know a lot of y’all need to hear it from white people before you believe it… But there’s multiple accounts from regular white people who admit this

The only good country is Outlaw Country and that shyt died with Schaffer as the last major player in that movement.
Everything else been Twangy Gee-tar, fakkit tight denim hill billy confederate flag waving ol opry shyt as far as most black folk should be concerned.
I'm prolly one of the few folk on here that fukk with this semi-ignorant opinion, but by CHRIST when you think country music you can't help but think SOME facet of what I said in the second line.

They truly don't see the big deal with using black artists as poker chips. A lot of these bluesmen they like to prop up so much died destitute and poor. Black people didn't want to hear them. For all the talk, we created this genre or we created that genre, black people have no problem throwing those genres in the trash for the next big thing. Maybe if black people continued fukking with country and blues and rock we wouldn't have to defend ourselves and argue narratives that we created them. The only reason rock still exists is because a bunch of Englishmen that idolized black music decided to make music like their heroes. And unlike black folks here they decided to give their old heroes their flowers. A lot of old blues guys got new career opportunities and berths due to white rock guys going,"I didn't create this. I got it from my heroes Muddy Waters and BB King." Rock guitarists were having duels on who could play blues songs the best.
You can see it already happening to funk. There's barely any black guitarist teachers and you'll see white dudes teaching funk guitar and teaching white boys how to play Maggot Brains. Go to a Funkadelic show and you know I'm right. It's a sea of white. For all their talk, black audiences love to toss away black artists for the next best thing all the time every time.
"We make the trends". Yeah, well, this is what making the trends gets ya.
There's a funny disconnect between black artists and black audiences.
That's not entirely true in the slightest as country as trending more towards a mixture of pop, rock and other genres much to the dismay of a lot of people. It isn't the country that posters think it is nor has it been that way for years now.

They want that crossover money and Grammy notoriety just like other artist do these days and genre hopping is the only way to get them there. That's why the Beyonce country move is overblown.

so this were u dudes went
From what I recall country music was a derivative of bluegrass which came from slave in the antebellum south. The instruments are west African in origin.

Modern country ain't country and is disgusting sounding filth. Thankfully there's a lot of alternatives that sound like real country.

I'm completely set to take your word for it, because I ain't digging into country music past Garth Brooks and damn near EVERYTHING I've been privy to, been nothing but Flag waving, Support the troops, Do that in a small town, twaddle, that grew during the patriotism/War on terror era where Keith Urban and whomever else the fukk, thrived.
