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.

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.
