"Since whites persons and non black people have created and discovered things like electricity, the transistor, the computer, the LP, the 8 track, the cassette player, the CD, (all the technology needed to mass market music)..."
Don't forget the electric guitar, radio, and, yes, the internet. For what it's worth, I'm glad blacks like Chuck Berry "robbed" the creation of the electric guitar and took it to new places.

I think the first electric guitars were used by the Hawaiians

I heard, on one of those "History of Rock and Roll" things, that Chuck Berry grew up listening to Country. It influenced his music, and as a result, he didn't have very much standing in the black music community.
