And BTW, I found the article which started out the thread you linked to, to be pretty racist in it's presumptions.

Gospel doesn't have European origins. It has American origins. It is a hybrid of African and European music traditions, blending and becoming something uniquely American."

Guest, you have contradicted yourself. First you state that gospel doesn't have European origins, but American. Then you say it's a hybrid of African and European music. So how can that be if it doesn't have European origins?
