So on a comment about the things black Americans have given us your first thought is "Kraftwerk, some white guys, actually invented techno." Which is factually untrue. Yes, Kraftwerk and other Kraut rock bands were an inspiration to all forms of electronic music but what they were doing was not at all techno.
