In the black community, among the We Wuz Kangs/Israelite/WhoeverElseFag crowd they literally spew that "Lewis Latimer invented the lightbulb" or rather "You wouldn't have the light bulb today without Lewis Latimer"
Which is nonsense, because Lewis Latimer didn't even invent the carbon filament first, he just invented a way to produce them better. Which would become obsolete in a decade.
Lewis Latimer was a draftsman for Edison. He was Edisons technical drawer. Smart guy, but didn't invent the light bulb.
Try telling a dumb ass We Wuz Kangs black person that though lmfao.
Many inventions stand on the discoveries of others. Edison made the first practical one that peopel could buy.

This show was how little things would all interconnect and show how one discovery would lead to 3 others and fold back into something totally unrelated. It is kind of cool. That one of the dudes was a black man or white does not matter.
Is that the dispute?
