Actually, it forces us to note mostly many who made rather mundane contributions to the former success of our nation.
For fun sometime, ask any middle-aged or younger black that you know or meet if they know who Booker T. Washington was.
ML/NJ
Yes, raciss white libs gave blacks the shortest month of the year...
You know, there are many stories of blacks being passed over for recognition. Many compelling stories about blacks who strived to overcome daunting, unfair obstacles. So many fine human interest stories.
But having black this and black that crammed down my throat 24/7 makes me not want to read, hear or see any of it. It’s as if America was built by blacks exclusively. That white people were always the villain. That America today is at least 75% black, as evidence by popular culture, and the ever present mixed race couple in commercials.
I don’t like most people, but race has nothing to do with it. :)
The ‘Diamond In the Back’ and the ‘Gangster Lean’ come to mind.
Horse $hit.
For years now, google American inventors, and a line of photos appears. All black! You would think by this, blacks were the only inventors. How far must we decline in the interest of “fairness”?
I just did a search on Google for "stoners and reptiles bill whittle", to look for a video he did recently. I went 12 pages in without a single mention of that excellent video called "The Stolen Election Part II: Stoners and Reptiles" When I did the exact same search on DuckDuckGo, it came up on the first page, two entries in.
By the way, if you watch the video, it explains why all of this we are discussing is so relevant.
Google, which is used exclusively as the source of truth for up to four billion people on earth, shapes what it presents. In the linked video above which Bill Whittle described as one of the scariest ones he has seen, he discusses the infamous video The Selfish Ledger" which was created by Google, only for the eyes of the upper Google management, but was leaked to the public.
In "The Selfish Ledger" there is a creepy voice intoning what the goals of Google are-and it is to shape human behavior (in the same way they shape the returns on your searches) insidiously using AI to accomplish this. (I am not anti-AI, by the way, I do some work with it). Watch Bill Whittle's video, I highly recommend it, as he spends the last part talking about what Google is and what they are trying to do.
Luckily, 0 came along and redirected NASA's effort and they made up revealed all kind of inventions and contributions that muzzies have contributed to space exploration.
Was he the lead sing in Booker T. and the MGs?
Under a third corporation I made many inventions that were not patented, that my employer kept under wraps as trade secrets whose methods of implementation were obscured by the process. They were kept as trade secrets, with very stiff penalties for revealing them.
They made the corporations several millions, but for me only continued employment. There has been no post-employment income for any of these inventions, declared or undeclared.
My only satisfaction was accomplishing things that non-creative minds couldn't even imagine. That experience goes to Heaven with me, while earthly riches could not.
FWIW
Obviously the author lives in a parallel universe to the one I live in. Google "American Inventors"; it's been like this for the last decade. If one based their knowledge on the internet one would believe blacks invented everything.
In 1820, Thomas Jennings became the first African American to obtain a patent – at a time when many blacks were still enslaved in the South. Jennings patented his “dry-scouring” technique that served as a precursor to later dry-cleaning methods. Jennings used the profits from his invention to fund the local abolitionist movement and to fight for civil rights.
Good for Mr. Jennings, but can you, or any of you tell me who the first white person to file for a patent was or what it was for??? I don’t ever recall this being taught in history class, do you?
Sadly black history has been rewritten by Democrats to destroy families and keep the plantations working.If you ask about early AA millionaires they would name athletes, Oprah, or Rappers.Not the people that changed the business landscape for others to follow.
They’d never cut it in the ‘hood.
Blah blah blah -
Peanut butter was a very important invention. It made Mr. Ed a talking horse.
Yeah, he sang lead on the song Green Onions.
You didn’t invent the Post-It note did you? Just kidding, thought you would get a giggle out of that. It’s a fascinating story regarding inventions and corporations the inventors work for. I actually think it should be a movie. I have worked as a story analyst in the film industry, eventually a low level script doctor. I re-worked a lot of dialogue and story elements on some giant films....just got a paycheck, which is what I signed on for. But......makes my eyes roll sometimes when I see what I did for that paycheck.
I think a black person invented air conditioning also.
Several years back, even before the woke ness fad, there was a public service ad during black history month that mentioned Sarah Boone. Boone was an American inventor who on April 26, 1892, obtained United States patent number 473,563 for her improvements to the ironing board.
I thought to myself that’s all good and well, but is that the best you an come up with for Africa American inventors? My wife laughed and said that it was a sexist invention. lol
I think Washington’s study of the peanut was a huge contribution to human nutrition/agriculture, etc. Now the Left has made peanuts EVILLLLLLLLLLL. The Left eventually destroys everything, including what they first demand everybody bow down to and celebrate. Little kids love peanut butter sandwiches and it is a wonderful source of protein. NOPE! MUST REMOVE IT FROM EVERYWHERE. Because .02% of kids have some kind of allergy. I think most people with half a brain are simmering now as the Left are on warp drive to destroy our social structure and Western Civilization/logic. We shall see how it plays out.
