Make sure when you listen to country music that it has no banjo. That is based on an instrument invented by North American Slaves in the 1700's that was based on an instrument from Africa.

Negroes plucked strings before the Europeans arrived?

Yes. Stringed instruments probably developed independently in Europe and Africa. The evolution of the banjo is an example of stringed instruments originating in Africa.

Probably neither. A more likely scenario is that stringed instruments originated in the fertile crescent and the technology traveled west into Africa and north into europe.

In any case, I'm not opposed whites enjoying black music. I dont turn off the radio when they play Hendrix or even a good Eminem song. The problem is that modern black music has morphed into lizzo and white imitators.

Oh, man. I'm gonna have to abandon my entire ideology because black people did something I enjoy.

Right? That's the point I was making, given OP's original text before he changed it.

The asterisk says otherwise.
