    what you are essentially asking is

    " If Elisha Gray and Alexander Graham Bell both invented the telephone
    why are Steve Jobs and Bills Gate's phone some the best out today?"

    please be intelligent.
    go by time frame.
    might as well should have compared guns and knives idiot

    when were the first phones invented?
    now when did smart phones come out?
    whenever Rock was "invented" by blacks, they had guitars and drums still.
    When white "took over" they had drums and guitars as well.
    they didnt even have computers or internet when phones were invented

    1) so this is a question of time? No it is not. The premise of the question
    asked is who invented what, and if they invented why aren't they cited as the "greatest"/ the best.

    2) see the above

    3) did the components and technology for computers and internet come from outer space?
    or where were they always here just waiting to be properly utilized??

    Do you understand what I mean by that particular question?

    No. You do not.

    So I'll explain in as simplest manner as I can muster to answer the premise of your asinine question :

    Blacks aren't cited as the greatest rock bands, because by the time white folks got a hold of it and mastered it , we where to busy inventing soul, R&B, funk, and rap music. We had already invented Jazz,blues, reggae , folk and Gospel

    so whites can have rock,
    but even than, the greatest rocker of all time, who sets the standard, is still considered a black man: Jimi Hendrix (you may have heard of him)

    I think blacks kinda abandoned rock, at least it's full on rock form. they started getting funky with it, or making it smoother for rnb, or just sticking with the basic blues, country, and jazz.

    but at the time of funk certain whites still did netter.
    kinda how took over ap.
    or how currently Robin Thicke has more soul than his black counterparts,
    its as if blacks always abandon a good art form

    I wouldn't even compare Freddie Mercury and Hendrix cause they're completely different.

    that's your opinion. the genre was phased out of the black community post Elvis Presely. Do your history.
