The controversy surrounding the ownership of "jazz" involves an intersection of residual "slave mentality" combined with a perpetual mode of exploitation of artistic innnovations that result from African-American creativity. Examining the evolution of African-American music within the context of its socio-cultural history makes the most salient aspects of the roots of innovative "Black" music increasingly clear. The success of "Jazz" and other African-American music gradually attracted the attention of people around the world. As a consequence, many Eurocentric capitalists and institutions insist upon claiming ownership and control. Racism and sexism provoke illogical responses and behavior throughout society. As a result, many people love "Jazz" while refusing to acknowledge the progenitors of the music..
