Same with Nikola Tesla and Edison (Edison created DC generators, but Tesla created AC induction motors that would be much more practical for daily life than Edison's invention, which would have required a coal-burning generator every 4 miles just to keep the electricity flowing at a steady rate). https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Alternating_current#Pioneers
To be even more fair, for the lightbulb to change the world, it HAD to be practical. Practicality is just as important as emitting light. Without being practical, it’s just a glowing filament in a lab.
Edison may not have invented the concept of lightbulbs, but he did invent The Lightbulb.
It wouldn't even be close. From basic civics to American history to world history to English common law, it would be a complete massacre.
To be fair, it was actually invented by another white guy. Edison just made it practical by his improvements.

LOL! I love that joke!
Beethoven was black. Corn pop told me.
