  • I did write that they came as slaves, but that’s not the necessary part. I’m starting to think that you just really want me to be racist, facts be damned.

    Brits didn’t need to immigrate to the US in order to learn about American rock music.

    Yeah, because american rock music already existed, and USA and UK have a long shared history. Inventing rock music without close personal proximity is much less likely, and inventing a style is one thing but popularizing it is quite another. It wouldn’t have gotten as popular in the USA and Europe if all the early blues and jazz musicians were in Africa.





  • There’s little chance that immigration wouldn’t have been involved somehow in your scenario(s). But true, maybe we could have gotten blues and jazz from a thriving, industrialized Congo, Nigeria etc.

    Hell, maybe it would have come from middle class American Natives in the Mississippi Delta. Or Chinese rice farmers in a country not ravaged by opium. Or Iranians not ground under by the Shah’s dictatorship. Or Austro-Hungarians who weren’t cannibalized to fight the Napoleonic Wars or the 30 Years War that caused the Caucasian Exodus across the Atlantic.

    They might have invented interesting musical genres that merge mainstream european music with their own more rhythm-focused music styles, but I really doubt any of them would have invented something that closely resembles early black music. Maybe one of them could have invented techno, but blues, jazz, soul, and blues-derived rock music as we know it? Very improbable. Music genres don’t spawn out of thin air.

    Zurecht! Habe allerdings Zweifel, ob sie aus meiner Situation die richtigen Lehren ziehen würde anstatt nur irgendwelche Vorurteile zu reproduzieren.

    Leute, lasst eure Kinder auf Autismus, ADHD usw. testen bevor sie erwachsen sind (und wenn der Test positiv ausfällt, informiert euch bei Ärzten und Betroffenengruppen, nicht bei Facebook-Schwurblern), behaltet ihre psychische Gesundheit im Blick und wenn es um euch selbst geht, geht zum Arzt bevor alles den Bach runter ist. Oder versucht es zumindest - je nachdem was man hat und wer man ist (z.B. ist Geschlechtergerechtigkeit auch bei der ärztlichen Diagnostik ein Problem) zeigt einem das deutsche Gesundheitssystem eh oft nur den Mittelfinger.
