Jazz is a synthesis of many elements, not in the least West African music and slave traditions, though Debussy definitely influenced many of its well-known figures.

Seriously, this is the one aspect of black culture that is really really good and should be kept

Rock music is Negro music. I'll grant you polka, though.

It is, But I can't imagine what it would be without the Harmonic language of Ravel or Debussy

Sometimes when listening to Tatum or Monk, it just sounds like Debussy with Blues added to it

What else?

I was memeing you dip, but even then, negro music is stolen from Irish slave folk and lower class Scottish folk, though. Negroes from the west coast of Africa, where we enslaved them, didn't have any form of music that resembled the folk music that evolved to become blues, their music then, and their traditional music even today, just revolves around banging on drums. Negro slaves learned to play Plucking string instruments when the Anglos temporarily kept them with Irish slaves, and lower-class Scott slaves. Blues shares more similarities to these styles of folk music much more than it does anything from that part of Africa for that reason. When negros were separated from Irish/Scott slaves and brought to the Americas, they learned to play even more music from white Americans, and taught to play the Banjo and stuff desu, which is also why blues shares many similarities with older white Americana music genres.

Blues music has more in common with these

Blues, rock, and the like is the result of dirty negros stealing and combining white Irish and Scottish folk music with white Americana music and then pretending they had no influence from white people.

Tell me anyone from the West-European diaspora can listen to that and not feel some kind of deep sentiment

Is is Debussy with blues added to it. It's basically western melody and harmony plus African polyrhythm and improvisation. Western classical used to be more improvisational, it was phased out over a long time, perhaps to the musics detriment.

>African improvisation
Can this meme please die? Africans learned improvisation from an old style of Irish folk music called Jass, which was built around spontaneous song structures and improvisation. They learned it from Irish slaves who were held in captivity with them.
