I was always a team Tesla kinda guy. Edison was pretty much the Bill Gates of his day. Generally, a mediocre person that knew how to pilfer intellectual property to get what he wanted. He is a notable historical figure in his own right, but his legacy is kinda overhyped in my opinion.
He had the backing of JP Morgan too. They basically used sleazy business practices and slander of DC to make AC standard. Tesla kinda went broke after that iirc.
Tesla was an amazing man and the history around him is really interesting to get into. He basically invented wireless electricity (though someone a few years ago got an award for perfecting it) and wanted to build huge towers on the planet's magnetic poles to supply the world with wireless power.
Various electric lighting inventions occurred between 1761 until Edison’s commercially successful lightbulb in 1879.
A bunch of people had different inventions during that time, maybe around 22 inventors. Timeline here
Left off that timeline is William E Sawyer, the black inventor Joe Biden might be referring to (he is mentioned on the wiki page under “Commercialization”).
William Sawyer and his company partner, Albon Man (who was an attorney) patented an incandescent light design in 1877, one year before Edison’s first light patent and two years before Edison’s commercially successful patent. However, Edison’s design lasted much longer than Sawyer & Man’s design.
Edison’s lightbulbs were used commercially 6 months before the Sawyer-Man bulbs, thus further popularizing the notion that Edison invented the lightbulb. And in a way Edison did: he invented the first commercially viable light.
this page contains a picture of William Sawyer, and this page lists some of his notable inventions.
At the end of the day, Americans made ground-breaking contributions to lighting the world.
I certainly do not, and I haven’t seen the context Biden is speaking about. Just providing info. Good point about the scripting...illustrates the woke ones probably control him already.
Btw, Sawyer seems like a based guy.
Also, I learned that the most famous use of the Sawyer-Man bulb was for the 1883 Chicago World Fair. However, they tried to buy Edison bulbs first, but Edison wouldn’t sell them any. Haha. So they went with Sawyer-Man product.
I assume he is referring to Lewis Howard Latimer, who was a draftsmen employee of Edison and drew the technical drawing responsible for filing the patent of the light build under the direction of Edison.
Latimer was likely a smart and skilled individual, but rather than a gaff, this shows Biden is not only senile and like going through Alzheimer's, but is also stupid, or at least stupid enough to believe his staff who cannot correctly interpret history they are reading through an effort to appear intelligent and studied.
This is part of New Black Mythology, like the fAcT that a African king sailed to America before Columbus. Its all made up for the purpose of propping up some Black Supremecy myth. We almost made it off this planet, instead we continue to mire in racist superstition.
There was one working as an assistant .the theory has been landed through various news agencies for years now that he was the one who invented the filament.
black people invented everything, wypipo stole black mans history, shakespeare was black, mozart was black, all europeans are black and wypipo stole all of it and replaced all of tje black europeans, even the white jew stole black mans religion see, ask farrakhan and the black hebrews, sandman knows them..
Nope wrong .
The stop light you are refuting to was nothing of the sort .
It was a pole with flag type place holders that would come up and lying back down .
And he was not the one who invented it ither .
But who cares .
Well... to be fair... Edison didn't invent shit. He just slapped his name on all the patients and took credit from the actual inventors who worked for him.
One of the reasons he and Nikola Tesla parted ways on bad terms because Edison kept stealing Tesla's inventions and Tesla wasn't about that shit.
Thomas Edison didn't invent the light bulb. He perfected it, but didn't invent it.
(Just throwing some facts out there. Not a slam at the OP.)
Fact is: Edison was a prolific patent stealing dick.
Thank you for the link. Upvote.
It took 5 minutes to image search every scientist and inventor that preceded Edison. NONE of them was black.
Same. I was intrigued with the history. But again, Biden is a lying dog faced pony soldier.

Tesla +1

You have no idea what black man creepy Joe was referring to, joe himself doesn't know. That was a scripted line his handlers told him to say.
I certainly do not, and I haven’t seen the context Biden is speaking about. Just providing info. Good point about the scripting...illustrates the woke ones probably control him already.
Btw, Sawyer seems like a based guy.

Ya some geman guy did it .40 years befor him if I remember correct .
Can conform! Came to make sure we are clear...
Joe saw a movie about some place called Wakanda. Old Joe is not the brightest bulb in the box, if ya get mah drift.
Howie Carr played the clip of Biden saying that and farting during it.
I can respect a candidate who keeps his teeth from falling out too.
Uncle Tom Edison.
you win bro HAHAH
🤣🤣🤣🤣
KEK
No one thinks Edison invented the light bulb. He invented a version that actually worked worth a damn.
Joseph Swan first invented one that worked but it was too expensive to mass produce.
He invented the first practical, manufacturable, durable commercial light bulb.
He invented the one everyone uses.
I assume he is referring to Lewis Howard Latimer, who was a draftsmen employee of Edison and drew the technical drawing responsible for filing the patent of the light build under the direction of Edison.
Latimer was likely a smart and skilled individual, but rather than a gaff, this shows Biden is not only senile and like going through Alzheimer's, but is also stupid, or at least stupid enough to believe his staff who cannot correctly interpret history they are reading through an effort to appear intelligent and studied.
People were dicking with "light bulbs" before Lattimer was even born. Edison made them work.
More importantly, he made them work at a reasonable price.
Well yeah, I wanted to see if I could find how this lie came to be.
Now there's fucking rabbit hole.
This is part of New Black Mythology, like the fAcT that a African king sailed to America before Columbus. Its all made up for the purpose of propping up some Black Supremecy myth. We almost made it off this planet, instead we continue to mire in racist superstition.

Just a lesson that you shouldn't hire black people because they only cause trouble. Even 100 years later.
Dam that criss rock 2000 level
Nope just rewriting history cause come o man, you know the thing.
A black man invented toilet seat. A white man cut a hole in it.
I researched the subject and I can find no evidence at all that a black man invented the light bulb. An out and out lie.
There was one working as an assistant .the theory has been landed through various news agencies for years now that he was the one who invented the filament.
Latimer born 1848. Warren De la Rue used a platinum filament in a light bulb in 1840.
I think Joe is referring to William Sawyer. I summarized it all in another comment on this thread.
He was a Wakandan scientist.
Come on, man! We wuz kangz!
New series on MSM starting next January - 'The Joe Biden Comedy Hour'!
WE
Wuz
KANGZ
Ok, after fire there haven't been many groundbreaking discoveries coming out of that continent... Just saying...
It was Antonio Meucci!
black people invented everything, wypipo stole black mans history, shakespeare was black, mozart was black, all europeans are black and wypipo stole all of it and replaced all of tje black europeans, even the white jew stole black mans religion see, ask farrakhan and the black hebrews, sandman knows them..
A black man did event the stop light, his dementia is interfering
Nope wrong . The stop light you are refuting to was nothing of the sort . It was a pole with flag type place holders that would come up and lying back down . And he was not the one who invented it ither . But who cares .
PBS lied to me then! Thanks.
A white man invented the go light.
So I’ve been told. PBS lies to me.
fantastic HAHAH . is he on trumps pay roll. ahaha
DNC regretfully admits that Joe is out of action and Heel's up Harris is now the presidential candidate.
Democrats immediately endorse...
Well shit, I was hoping creepy Joe was going tell why he didn't want his kids growing up in a racial jungle to that black audience. Maybe next time.
Look Fat, it was a black guy named Raisin Bran, he was a pretty smart dude, just as smart as the white kids, who wanted to light up his racial jungle.
The attempt at pandering is so cringe.
Well... to be fair... Edison didn't invent shit. He just slapped his name on all the patients and took credit from the actual inventors who worked for him.
One of the reasons he and Nikola Tesla parted ways on bad terms because Edison kept stealing Tesla's inventions and Tesla wasn't about that shit.
Let's ignore Tesla then. BTW, Tesla was a Serb and Biden said that the Serbs were human garbage. Fucking asshole.
