Rock and roll was originally a black genre of music that derived from other music developed by black artists (jazz, blues, etc.). Then white people started making rock and roll too and black people less, to the point where Jimmy Hendrix stuck out for being a black dude that did rock and roll. Nowadays almost no black musicians perform rock.
Buuuuuut unless Elvis actually plagiarized, it's not stealing. But it's no secret who he was inspired by, to the point where Eminem (another white guy who got popular making music that's a "black" genre) makes a joke about it in one of his songs.

I could care less. I'll grant that blacks came up with rap and/or hip hop, but it took a white dude (eminem) to take it to the next level.
The entire history of music is of cultures building on the music of others they trade with or conquer. No one gets to wall off a genre of music and call it their own, it doesn't work like that.
