In honor of Black History Month: Black Invention Myths

[Jerry Reb]

http://www.blackinventionmyths.com/

In the age of BLM and fake news it's more important than ever to refute anti-white myths. In fact, things have gotten far worse than when this list was made - for example, now, instead of merely claiming that Lewis Latimer invented the filament or the screw socket for light bulbs, people like Joe Biden are claiming that Latimer invented the light bulb itself. This is Orwellian-level revisionist history, just like in Animal Farm, where the original lie (Snowball was a coward who hid from battle) was deemed not extreme enough and replaced with an even bigger lie (Snowball was a traitor who was openly fighting on Farmer Jones' side).

Some good stuff on that list. I'm a bit ashamed to admit I fell for a couple of those when I was younger, like the one about the "Real McCoy." Some funny and less believable ones that stood out - black guy gets a patent for a "gamma electric cell" and the woketurds translate that into "he done invented da cell phone." Then there's the claim that some black guy named Oscar E. Brown invented the first horseshoe ever - in A.D. 1892. And Benjamin Banneker, the magical negro with the magical brain, reconstructing the Washington DC city plan from memory after the designer ran away with the plans.

Anyway, I urge all of you gentlemen and ladies to go through that list. Some of those myths we've all probably heard before and know they're bunk, but you might learn a few new things. I certainly did.

I’ve seen that website before. I didn’t go through the whole thing but it’s pretty clear that any claim of a negro invention is either false or wildly overblown. I’ll go out on a limb and surmise that a sub Saharan black has never invented anything of use in the entire recorded history of the world. I wish that wasn’t so but I’d need to be presented evidence to change that view.

Don’t forget about Taraji, Octavia and Janelle, the “brains” behind NASA’s launching John Glenn into orbit. Not exactly an invention, but definitely a myth.

My 7th grade history class revolved mostly around George Washington Carver. I guess that was the only black 'hero' they could find at the time. So now they just make stuff up

Peanut butter was the big "black invention" to be applauded, and even that was fake history.

So sickening. The greatest achievement in mankind, almost exclusively accomplished by 1000's of brilliant White Christian men, and they go to such great lengths to credit some mulatto females for getting to the moon. I really hate what this country has become.
