Three light traffic signal, the first effective gas mask for fire fighters, closed circuit tv, walkers for the mobility challenged, the carbon filament that led to the lightbulb, VoIP, the blood bank, development of the IBM computer, and pacemakers, the development of the touch tone phone, fiber optic cables and caller ID, the mailbox, laser cataract surgery, the refrigerated truck, the Super Soaker, the dust pan, the ironing board, the potato chip, the modern rotary blade lawn mower, the gas heating furnace, peanut butter obviously, the drying machine, the automatic gearshift, automatic elevator doors, the folding chair, the golf tee, the ice cream scooper, development of the modern toilet.... must I go on?

All it takes is a Google search.

So, the next time you take a shit, or turn on the lights, use an elevator, check who called you, or dry your clothes or stop at a traffic light better preventing your death by car accident, or if you have any fond memories of watergun fights, or someone you know is saved by a fireman or pacemaker or has laser cataract surgery..... next time you use a dustpan or eat ice cream, peanut butter or potato chips or anything cold such as frozen food or beverages delivered by refrigerated trucks.... or I don't know... if you get old and need to use a walker to get around...

You can be more thankful and respect the contributions of our fellow brothers and sisters who may happen to have a much darker complexion than you and therefore some ignorant people have assumed, *incorrectly, must be lesser than a lighter skinned individual.

Oh and Niel Degrasse Tyson for being one of the most respected astrophysicist alive, and why not mention WEB Dubois, Thurgood Marshall and Clarence Mitchell for that whole Civil Rights Movement thing.

#GetSchooled #JewKnow

lol @ writing "getSchooled" after posting a bunch of bullshit

remember when i said ... black "inventors" took things that already existed , and just put a tweak on it?

"traffic lights

The first known traffic signal appeared in London in 1868 near the Houses of Parliament. Designed by JP Knight, it featured two semaphore arms and two gas lamps. The earliest electric traffic lights include Lester Wire's two-color version set up in Salt Lake City circa 1912, James Hoge's system (US patent #1,251,666) installed in Cleveland by the American Traffic Signal Company in 1914, and William Potts' 4-way red-yellow-green lights introduced in Detroit beginning in 1920. New York City traffic towers began flashing three-color signals also in 1920.

Garret Morgan's cross-shaped, crank-operated semaphore was not among the first half-hundred patented traffic signals, nor was it "automatic" as is sometimes claimed, nor did it play any part in the evolution of the modern traffic light."

"Filament for light bulb:

English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain. On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Edison developed a successful carbon-filament bulb, receiving a patent for it (#223898) in January 1880, before Lewis Latimer did any work in electric lighting. From 1880 onward, countless patents were issued for innovations in filament design and manufacture (Edison had over 50 of them). Neither of Latimer's two filament-related patents in 1881 and 1882 were among them, nor did they make the light bulb last longer, nor is there reason to believe they were adopted outside Hiram Maxim's company where Latimer worked at the time. (He was not hired by Edison's company until 1884, primarily as a draftsman and an expert witness in patent litigations).

Latimer also did not come up with the first screw socket for the light bulb or the first book on electric lighting."

Lawn Mower:

English engineer Edwin Budding invented the first reel-type lawn mower (with blades arranged in a cylindrical pattern) and had it patented in 1830. In 1868 the United States issued patent #73807 to Amariah M. Hills of Connecticut, who went on to establish the Archimedean Lawn Mower Co. in 1871. By 1888, the US Patent Office had granted 138 patents for lawn mowers (Butterworth, Growth of Industrial Art). Doubtlessly there were even more by the time Burr got his patent in 1899.

Some website authors want Burr to have invented the first "rotary blade" mower, with a centrally mounted spinning blade. But his patent #624749 shows yet another twist on the old reel mower, differing in only a few details with Budding's original."

"Automatic Transmission/Gearshift:

The first automatic-transmission automobile to enter the market was designed by the Sturtevant brothers of Massachusetts in 1904. US Patent #766551 was the first of several patents on their gearshift mechanism. Automatic transmission technology continued to develop, spawning hundreds of patents and numerous experimental units; but because of cost, reliability issues and an initial lack of demand, several decades passed before vehicles with automatic transmission became common on the roads."

"Elevator:

Steam-powered hoisting devices were used in England by 1800. Elisha Graves Otis' 1853 "safety elevator" prevented the car from falling if the cable broke, and thus paved the way for the first commercial passenger elevator, installed in New York City's Haughwout Department Story in 1857. The first electric elevator appeared in Mannheim, Germany in 1880, built by the German firm of Siemens and Halske. A self-closing shaft door was invented by J.W. Meaker in 1874 ("Improvement in Self-closing Hatchways," US Patent No. 147,853)."

"Peanut Butter:

Peanuts, which are native to the New World tropics, were mashed into paste by Aztecs hundreds of years ago. Evidence of modern peanut butter comes from US patent #306727 issued to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec in 1884, for a process of milling roasted peanuts between heated surfaces until the peanuts reached "a fluid or semi-fluid state." As the product cooled, it set into what Edson described as "a consistency like that of butter, lard, or ointment." In 1890, George A. Bayle Jr., owner of a food business in St. Louis, manufactured peanut butter and sold it out of barrels. J.H. Kellogg, of cereal fame, secured US patent #580787 in 1897 for his "Process of Preparing Nutmeal," which produced a "pasty adhesive substance" that Kellogg called "nut-butter." "

"Dustpan:

While the ultimate origin of the dustpan is lost in the mists (dusts?) of time, at least we know that US patent #20811 for "Dust-pan" was granted to T.E. McNeill in 1858. That was the first of about 164 US dustpan patents predating Lloyd Ray's."

"Clothes Dryer:

The "clothes-drier" described in Sampson's patent was actually a rack for holding clothes near a stove, and was intended as an "improvement" on similar contraptions:

My invention relates to improvements in clothes-driers. The object of my invention is to suspend clothing in close relation to a stove by means of frames so constructed that they can be readily placed in proper position and put aside when not required for use.

US patent #476416, 1892

Nineteen years earlier, there were already over 300 US patents for such "clothes-driers"
(Subject-Matter Index of Patent 1790 to 1873).

A Frenchman named Pochon in 1799 built the first known tumble dryer -- a crank driven, rotating metal drum pierced with ventilation holes and held over heat. Electric tumble dryers appeared in the first half of the 20th century."

"Heating Furnace:

In the hypocaust heating systems built by the ancient Romans, hot air from a furnace circulated under the floor and up through the channels inside the walls, thereby distributing heat evenly around the building. One of the most famous heating systems in recent centuries was the iron furnace stove known as the "Franklin stove," named after its purported originator Benjamin Franklin around 1745 AD. The US had issued over 4,000 patents for heating stoves and furnaces by 1888 (Benjamin Butterworth, Growth of Industrial Art, 1888)."

Nice try tho

Probably get banned again for saying the truth but w.e ... lol funny af

Einstein was a plagiarist too btw ... hes not black but its interesting. idc about race , just the facts ... not the made-up fantasy world stachio wants to live in .... :high: ...
