Almost every black invention claim has been debunked. I'm not saying there are none, but 90% of them are false.

Haha like “axe” for ask? Thomas Sowell showed in “Black Rednecks and White Liberals” that most black ghetto speech patterns and negative cultural norms were picked up from the Celtic Fringe populations in the American South.

Spez: should have started this with an “Akchually,” kek

Did they invent looting? We might be able to give them credit for that. 😎😎😎 (spicy, I'm sorry)

Might have to give it to the Germanic Tribes (Rome), but probably Persians before that (Greece), but probably whomever in Mesopotamia before that.

No kidding, it's all so much bullshit.

Remember growing up hearing "Eli Whitney invented the cotton gin"? Cotton engines (aka "gins" because I guess they couldn't pronounce the actual word) had been in use for thousands of years in India and China before being brought to the US in the 18th century. The problem is that good quality cotton didn't grow in most of the Southern states and the inferior quality that did grow couldn't be processed by these engines.

Several people came up with modifications to try and overcome the problem with varying levels of success until a white woman by the name of Catharine Greene suggested to Eli that a brush might be used to solve the issue of separating seeds from the fibers.

And thus, the most famous "black" invention that every schoolchild is taught about was in reality just a small modification built on centuries of prior innovations, and even that came from a white person, a woman no less.

It's not that they're false persay, it's that they greatly exaggerate the claim to the point of absurdity. A black man did get a patent for an invention relating to the lightbulb. But it was a patent that improves the manufacturing process and reduces the costs of creating the carbon filament used in the lightbulbs, three years after Edison's lightbulb was invented.

He also worked as an employee of Edison for his whole career as a patent lawyer.

Just listen to how tired and ragged his speech sounds.

And that's WITH whatever they pumped into him through an IV. That giant IV scar on his hand isn't a mosquito bite. They're going to have to find a better hidden vein next time.

They'll put a tap in his chest and use it from now on I bet.

The problem with this particular claim is the real genius of the light bulb was the burn time due to the filament. There were many light bulb filament types tried during that time and I have heard from more than one person that the filament was the real breakthrough.

The interesting thing to me is I heard this outside of any racial context. I had no idea the other scientist was a black man. However, a person making such a claim during a time before any of this black historical revision now does gives me pause, in this specific case at least.

Egads, his creepy uncle whispering makes my skin crawl. No wonder they're doping him and putting a lid on the campaign.

putting a lid on the campaign.

Sounds like a cork would be more useful, based on this footage.
