With my observant eyes and sensitive ears, I've noticed when it comes to genres of American popular music, blacks and whites sing the same stuff. If a teeny white boy band/singer and a teeny black boy band/singer sing the same type of music, the white group is called "pop" and the black group is called "R&B". If it's a 50's black singer/group that sings the same stuff as a 50's white/singer group, the black band is called "R&B" and the white band is called "rock n' roll" or "rockabilly". If a country black man and a country white man sing the same type of music, the black man is called "blues" and the white man is called "country". And yeah, I know sometimes blues is just blues, but many so-called black "blues" singers are really just black guys singing country.
