Im pretty sure there are things we use and consider as necessities that are manufactured by other races. so does that mean we can't or shouldn't use it?

Again, you're completely missing the point. Nobody is saying only black people can do anything. The issue lies within the fact that black people are virtually smudged, pushed out, and not given anywhere near the amount of praise and attention for it as white people who are constantly praised and rewarded for half the quality. Most ESPECIALLY, when that something happens to be something that is apart of OUR culture, lives, who we are etc. See: Elvis, Iggy, etc.
It's more of a social issue than an issue with "white people liking something". This is clearly too much for you to grasp and is going completely over your head though so there's no point in even continuing to try and explain this to you
