The Blues was born out of the Negro Spirtituals, which of course came out of the suffering of my ancestors that were not only enslaved, but many of my relatives prior to my birth endured the horrors of Jim Crow. By the time I was born in 1961, The second leg of the Civil rights movement had already started. As far as zinbadx, the truth is that Civilization existed in Africa centuries before it ever existed in Europe. Africa was made up of Kingdoms and numerous tribes.

Oh, and I may I add that it's even more revolting to discover you are from EDINBURGH?! I hope you are an exchange student or something, because the Scots are a noble race, long known for their acceptance and tolerance of other races. I repeat - you're a jerk. Times 2. 'nuf said.

Wow. Hope you're proud of yourself. You managed to make yourself look like a total jerk without anybody else helping you. Oh, and when was the last time you saw God? Please tell me, because I'd love to meet him, and ask him why he let genetic defectives like you get through the gene pool. It's people like you who who draw swastikas on walls, and spell Satan "satin", right? How far did you go in school - 3rd grade? LOSER!
