She keeps a VHS copy of 'Roots' in her afro to this day.

"If there was systemic oppression, why was she in a leadership position at NASA while black and white photos were still a thing?"

Likely a color photo with a black and white filter. The afro was not worn until the mid 60's.

Black and white cameras and film didn't just disappear once color was invented. They were still in use even in the 70s because it was cheaper. Some professional photographers continued to prefer them well into the 90s.

The modifier of "3d" is being applied to both "movies" and "tv" in this sentence. They are not claiming she invented TV.

TheOutlawPepeWales 66 points ago +66 / -0

She didn't even invent 3D TV though. She patented technology, based on a demonstration she had seen, that was later incorporated into things other people invented. What really pisses me off is that she was in a leadership position at NASA forty fucking years ago but the left acts like black women are even more oppressed today than they were in 1820 because Orange Man Bad.

No debate there, I just mean that the original poster's assertion that they're claiming she invented TV is not accurate.

Pretty sure you don't English. He could've just said illusion transmitter used in 3d but I think we all know why he didn't

She didn't invent 3d movies either. The patent for 3d movies was filed in 1894

3D technology goes back to before she was born too. Start with the stereoscope and related technologies.

These things are intentionally worded to be deceptive, or at least ambiguous.

She didn't invent those things. I worked with her at NASA she was a very smart and good person. And although i havent had any contact with her for decades. I would put money on her being MAGA today.

I don't follow. The earliest 3D movie screened in 1922. This picture looks like it is from the 1970s. What gives?

Who invented the anaglyph? The discovery of anaglyphic 3D came in the 1850s as the result of experiments by the Frenchmen Joseph D’Almeida and Louis Du Hauron. In 1858 D’Almeida projected 3D magic lantern slide shows in which color separation took place using red and blue filters, and the audience wore red and blue goggles. Louis Du Hauron created the first printed anaglyphs using early color printing and photography techniques.

William Friese-Green created the first 3D anaglyphic motion pictures in 1889, using a camera with two lenses, which were first shown to the public in 1893. Anaglyphic films called “plasticons” or “plastigrams” enjoyed great popularity in the 1920s. These used a single film with the green image emulsion on one side of the film and the red image emulsion on the other. In 1922, an interactive plasticon, entitled “Movies of the Future,” opened at the Rivoli Theater in New York. The film provided the viewer with an optional ending. The happy ending was viewed using the green filter, while the tragic ending could be seen using the red filter. Many science fiction films of the 1950s were in anaglyphic 3D and have been shown on television (although today they are often shown in theaters using polarized 3D).

Imagine having such little historical accomplishment that you latch onto pedowood trash of all things to feel important.

He probably meant 3D movies and 3D television but it is still misleading in the way it was worded... they play fast and loose with the facts.

Philo T. Farnsworth would like to interject.

Red/blue anaglyphic movies had already been shown at drive-in theaters probably before she was born

By 3D they mean she sold the LSD that resulted in that effect.

I wasn’t aware 3D film and just plain ole Apollo era television were invented not only in the same generation, but also by the same person.

The sad part is that stories like this one are not used to inspire black people to want to become physicists, but solely for victimhood and grievance.

Sounds about right to me. They steal what they want.

climatestatis 3 points ago +3 / -0

Sounds like she had a long and successful career and did invent important things, including one form of 3D transmission. This tweet implies she invented the first form of these technologies, leading to skepticism about other claims.
