Culturally Speaking--Why do non-blacks love claiming blacks culture?

I'm only going to use the U.S., since it serves as a microcasm for a recurring phenomenon. Black Americans have not only invented most of the musical & dance artforms that have originated in the U.S., but also the most popular ones--Jazz, Rock & Roll, & Hip Hop.

But the thing i've noticed is, any time Blacks invent any artform, non-Blacks gang-rape it & try to claim it as their own. Whites tried to claim Jazz after WW1, and were somewhat successful given how racist that period was, they did the same thing with rock & roll, and now they newest batch of whites 30 & younger are trying to jack Hip Hop. WTF

Asians are getting in on the act too--they hate Blacks almost as much as Whites do, but love Black American culture TO DEATH. One time on YouTube i was watching the Hip Hop dance group jabbawockeez, a crew that was created by 2 asians & 1 Black, who have become one of the most sought after dance groups in the world. The crew is majority Asian, with 1 Black [the other 1 died]. So we watched a clip of this Black guy mimmicking some of the groups moves. This one Azn user said, "You can't be in their crew, because asians don't dance with Blacks" WTF. You are dancing HIP HOP, a style created by AFRICAN-AMERICANS, referring to a crew founded by 2 BLACKS, whose best dancer is BLACK
I'm starting to see what they did with Egypt, can't ever let Black people have anything
CleoCat: American hasn't, isn't, and probably will never be a melting pot. You mean to tell me a country that is registered in the CIA database as 70% White, that was treating 10% of its population like crap as late as 40 years ago, and even today continues to use tactics to undermine them educationaly, spiritually, and physically is a melting pot? Brazil is a mleting pot. Canada & the UK can claim to be melting pots. The U.S. is a civil war waiting to happen.
Cleo: It has to be that way because it has ALWAYS been that way. Throughout U.S. history White Americans have only respected Blacks only the extent that they could use, abuse, & exploit their talents. For that reason Black Americans don't have to align themselves with any other group, LEAST of all White Americans. When someone opens a history books & looks up American culture--Jazz , Rock & Roll, & Hip Hop will not be credited to any other segment of America except Blacks, because Blacks have never been credited for any contributions they have ever made to the U.S. by White Americans. Were it not for Black Americans for the first 350 years of the U.S., America as we know it wouldn;t even exist
 
Maybe because American culture is a melting pot of the best from all the other cultures?

I mean really, whining because ¨they stole our music¨ is just stupid. Like you´ve never used ANYTHING (not just music, but lights, TV, video games, etc) that was invented by a white/Native American/ Asian?

Grow up.

EDIT: Why does it have to be ¨us versus them¨? Why does it have to be Black culture or White culture or Asian culture?? Why can´t it just be American Culture? This whole ¨Quien es mas macho¨ crap is the reason that racism still exists in the 21st century. Until we all learn to be color blind and identify ourselves merely as ¨Americans,¨ racism will never go away.
 
I know. I was around Overbrook Pizza today and these white soccer players kept ranting on and on about Lil Wayne, Wiz Khalifa, and Beanie Sigel...numerous other rappers. Then,they talked about the music videos and ugh, they wouldn't stop!
