Welcome to Gaia! ::


I loooooove heart black history month. It gives me so much pride as a black individual to learn what we invented or enhanced in history. Its even more amazing to know that we are able to achieve these goals even in a society that constantly berates us and tries to destroy us.

These are just FEW inventions from blacks. Don’t let it psyche your mind too much. rolleyes I think you can handle it. After all we do have a black president for crying out loud these days.

The Internet was invented by Al Gore.
Yes, it was a competition. We won it by inventing KFC.
These lists are ridiculous because half of them are wrong or misinterpreted.
They try to make it simple so they just make it wrong.

For example, this black history site website doesn't claim this dude invented the microwave oven:
http://www.myblackhistory.net/Louis_Roberts.htm
Microwaven does not mean microwave oven.

This guy did not invent the cell phone:
http://www.myblackhistory.net/Henry_Sampson.htm
The word cell shows up?

Why twist their legitimate accomplishments? Disrespectful...

Well if we're keeping count...whites win.
peanut butter :3 werent super soakers also made by a black guy?
Black inventions. From black science? Do black inventions work differently to regular inventions? Do they work on Black Physics?

Inventions are inventions, regardless of the color of the inventor

Besides, Ice Cream Scoop? Really?

Seriously. I mean, its not enough for people to just not post or do what I was going to do and type "Cool story bro".

The fact that so many people seem to take issue with just listing black accomplishments is pretty telling.
