I think it is the other way around where the Rolling Stones were trashed by a few African American Blues artist for not being the real Blues. Otherwise they were really the first UK band to play and support American R&B and Blues music and they covered many African American artists. They covered songs from Slim Harpo, Leadbelly, Chuck Berry, Howlin' Wolf, Willie Dixon, Marvin Gaye Temptations, Bo Diddley and many more. I don't don't see how "Rolling Stones always trashing the black artists" unless you don't like how they play those songs.
