I love reading this stuff. Creating curiculums in the name of what white people titled something Black people created in America. Black people created gospel, jazz, and rap music for Black people right here in the U.S. of America. Don’t let them jews, Africans, jamaicans, jealous white folks, or no one else tell you different. You can’t teach Black history if you you don’t know its “origin”, that’s all I’ve been saying. We ddn’t start “hip-hop” – white people and Jewis did thanks to a 1983 movie. Know “your” history, Black people.
