Yes, Japan has followed in the footsteps of the White Western World and have also tried to remove Africans from their artistic and creative contributions that have changed humanity in some very significant and lovely ways.
Thank you for informing The Great Melting Pot that Jazz was a creation from the people America enslaved for over 200 years – West Africans. Yes, indeed the art of jazz like most of “American” or “Southern” music and style actually has its origins in West Africa. Not Europe or even Japan .Yes, Japan has followed in the footsteps of the White Western World and have also tried to remove Africans from their artistic and creative contributions that have changed humanity in some very significant and lovely ways. Not to mention of course these Enslaved Africans and descendants of Enslaved Africans made so many Western Corporations trillions of dollars over centuries of time. And this is what USA calls Meritocracy.
