SRV had a unique style in his playing, for a blues guitarist, Texas Flood is an exellent album.

Blues always has the same chords they don't shamelessly borrow chords. Blues by definition is a specific set of chords.
SRV however did not restrict himself to these chords though. Songs like "Couldn't stand the weather" stretched the genre.
I'm not even going to touch your comments about race they just don't make sense.
BTW B. B. King thinks Clapton is the greatest.
