Do the white keys on a piano have more power over the keyboard than the black keys - as in that they get their own letter names when the poor accidentals don't?

'Named notes', CDEFGABC pre-date pianos by almost a thousand years. Sharps and flats are a modification of a named note, they do not need their own names. Many early pianos had the natural keys in black and the accidentals in white.

Why don't the black keys get letter names like the white keys?
The black keys on the piano (also known as "accidentals") don't get their own note names because they are simply a variation on the white key notes. *In German musical notation, B flat (unlike all the other flats/sharps), actually has it's own letter, B. The natural "B" is called H in their system, and that is how BACH could spell his own name in music*

Why don't the black piano keys have natural note names?
The black keys are considered half note keys.... For example.... if you put your finger on the G note..... If you go up to the black key to the right of it on the keyboard you will have G sharp,,,, if you go down to the black key to the left of the G note you will have G flat.... so the black have no note name of their own....
