Smile Whites borrowing from Black music...say it ain't so

I've heard rumours that Whites didn't really invent reggae (Sting) or disco (KC and The Sunshine Band).
Next thing you know people will be claiming that Elvis didn't do the original Hound Dog.
Surely no one here can come up with proof that Blacks created certain kinds of music first.

"Regatta de Blanc", the 2nd Police album(sting), means "white reggae"

Actually, I thought David Bowie invented disco... but that's ok, he's black.
