Do you have any idea at all how many white artists have covered old black blues? So yes white artists do bother to imitate negro bluesmen.
Dude, that is news to you, really?
You are unable to distinguish between an influence and an imitation.
Not much anybody but you can do about that.
Why do you fancy yourself some sort of music savant when you make such weak arguments, only demonstrating again and again you don't know what you're talking about?

Dude…you are a walking joke. How you don’t recognize this is beyond me.
Not quite sure the point of this thread, but with due respect to Charley Patton, the consensus is that Robert Johnson is the king of the delta blues. (Sold his soul to the devil at the crossroads, etc.) Dylan's guitar playing was greatly influenced by the great Scottish folk guitarist Bert Yansch, and his early vocal style was actually a deliberate imitation of Karen Dalton, a virtual unknown whose voice had more Oklahoma twang than Woody Guthrie, Leon Russel and J.J. Cale combined.
Country Singer Jill Byrem changed her stage name to Lacy J. Dalton in her honor.
Where you getting Dylan tried to mimic Karen Dalton, I know the story and that ain't it, get it right.
Tommy Johnson told the original "sold my soul" story, Robert who record a decade later stold it from him. There were a dozen or so Delta players of note before Robert Johnson ever recorded in 1936, trust me it was Charley Patton who was the King of the Mississippi Delta Blues, he was there in the beginning, Robert came a little later.
Woody Guthrie wit a twang, really?
If you knew "the story", you should have told it. Or you could just listen to Dalton's 1962 album "Cotton Eyed Joe" and Dylan's performances from the same period and tell that way.
Rather than trust that your individual opinion overrules the consensus, I'll stick with the 1961 album "Robert Johnson: King of the Delta Blues Singers" from Columbia Records.
You wouldn’t happen to know what happened to Dinoz would you? He is missing. You seem to share a lot of interests with him so I thought you might have run into him
