And this is just a couple examples of how the labels take african american music and take true passion out of it to cash in on the white mass audience. so i guess the only question is, why are white people so unoriginal?

Swing
In our class discussion monday we were talking about how there were 2 different kinds of swing. one is what swing became famous for, and then there is one that was made to cater to rich white folk. and this is just a trend that just starts with swing. even to this day, music labels do this. look at hip hop, it started off as a politically charged way for people in urban settings to get their message through. and now almost 15 years after hip hop's hayday has come and passed, hip hop has turned into 3 and a half minute advertisement flaunting people's money and material possessions.

I see where you're coming here Jameson-but be careful not too generalize-because then the question you're posing is based on stereotypes when it should be analytically probing. Try wording the question a different way-be more specific.
