Can we discuss this? Can we also discuss that it's unfair how blacks are looked down upon when we enter a genre that we created, and that whites barely acknowledge us as the creators?

....thought you were talking about REAL Rock'nRoll......
What are you talking about? Not this heavy metal modern stuff that whites have taken over, and claimed as theirs?Although that as well could be contributed to what blacks created as well.
Well, as far as the comments go, it's YouTube. Between the teenaged idiots, and the stormfronters that organize to write white supremacist junk in comment sections, it's always awful. I wouldn't say it represents the average rock fan.

I was watching this on yt, and was shocked at the comments being made by whites.Are they really that oblivious?
I don't know what garbage you read or heard to give you the impression that black blues artists were never honored for their influence in rock music, but the moron that wrote that or put that out on Y.T is simply a moron and a race baiter.
Look back in time and watch classic rock artists like Jimmy Page and Eric Clapton, John Lennon, Pete Townsend give credit to the blues musicians and how they were influenced by them. Pete Townsend goes into great detail about how his roommates American blues records were left behind and he was inspired by them. Most of the cover songs played by classic rock artist were blues songs....you know like Goin down to the river, Young Man's Blues.....
Jack White is also a blues junkie and has quite an extensive collection of old records as does Jimmy Page. Watch some of The Who's biographies before you try and cry racial discrimination...it is a tired old record it is......just sayin.
I think there was a thread in the music forum discussing this, where people just shared example of black rock 'n roll and rock artists--both pioneers and modern practioneers. It was a fun thread, with lots of good songs.

Grinnin in Your Face is a favorite......
They launched an empire but were paid so little........But most musicians do give them credit. I still love, love and love BB King.

Nonsense. Great white skinned rockers have idolized the great black blues guitarists. Elvis Presley, Stevie Ray Vaughan, the Beatles, Led Zeppelin etc...
After Stevie Ray became famous, he honored his roots and played on stage with Johnny Copeland and Albert King

Eric Clapton also played with BB King....Keith Richards and Chuck Berry hooked up for a gig. Pearl Jam does The Who very well and they well you know idolized black blues players.
