Answer 2

They weren't really invented, they were created in an evil magical ritual, hence why bad magic is called black magic. It's unknown who actually carried out the ritual, but the suspicion is it was a pact between Merlin, Lord Voldemort and Tigger from Winnie the Pooh. The speculation is that they carried out the ritual on instructions from the CIA. The ritual was carried out in 1987, on the 32 of February, about 13:73 in the morning. Back then we reckoned time and date differently. Then, the CIA used their mind control satellites to make everyone think there was a long history of black people, when if fact there wasn't. They're clever, but they made mistakes. Ever noticed how everyone remembers Michael Jackson as being black, but he's actually white?

Answer 3

You have to understand just because somebody filed a patent

doesn't mean they were the inventor, a lot of whites stole black peoples inventions

if you find an actual news clipping in the era of slavery, you will see a lot of the slaves purchased were skilled laborers. Which is the reason why America could become a super power. Washington D.C. was designed by black and built by slaves, including the White House.

Answer 4

-George Washington Carver invented rubber substitute, adhesives, and dyes (out of peanuts too)

-George Crum invented the potato chip

-Benjamin Banneker invented The first clock built in the USA

-Miriam Benjamin invented a "Gong and Signal" chair for hotels

-Benjamin Bradly invented a steam engine to power war ships

-Henry Brown invented the strong box

-Fred Jones created numerous devices, from a portable x-ray machine to an automatic movie ticket dispenser to a refrigerated trucking system. His creativeness caused the largest corporations and the United States government to seek his help.

-Garret Morgan A prolific inventor, he is renowned for his creations, including a hair-straightener, the gas mask and the automatic traffic signal. Considered by many to be one of the most impactful inventors of all time.

Answer 5

I'm sure plenty of stuff, just not nearly as much as Asians, and neither are even on the same playing field as whites.



EDIT: No offense, but let's take a look at some of these that other users are posting, many of them are completely inaccurate and quite frankly, laughable. Some were invented more than a hundred years before the list says.



air conditioning unit: Frederick M. Jones; July 12, 1949 - Willis Carrier (white) invented modern AC in 1902, 47 years before what you have listed

almanac: Benjamin Banneker; Approx 1791 - these have been around since the ancient Babylonians, so no... just no

cellular phone: Henry T. Sampson; July 6, 1971 - nope, Reginald Fessenden (white) laid the groundwork for Martin Cooper (also white)

clothes dryer: G. T. Sampson; June 6, 1862 - nope, "A hand-cranked clothes dryer was created in 1800 by M. Pochon from France.[5] Electric tumble dryers appeared in the early 20th century. Industrial designer Brooks Stevens developed the first electric dryer with a glass window in the 1940s"

elevator: Alexander Miles; October 11, 1867 - wrong, Elisha Otis did this in 1852, and a passenger one in 1857, TEN YEARS EARLIER

fire extinguisher: T. Marshall; October 26, 1872 - The first fire extinguisher of which there is any record was patented in England in 1723 by Ambrose Godfrey, a celebrated chemist.

gas mask: Garrett Morgan; October 13, 1914 -The gas mask was patented on June 12, 1849, by the American, Lewis Haslett, in Louisville, Kentucky. It was an "Inhaler or Lung Protector," issued for an air purifying respirator. Haslett's device filtered dust from the air.

guitar: Robert F. Flemming, Jr. March 3, 1886 - NO, there was an Italian guitarist born more than a century before that date, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mauro_Giuliani

motor: Frederick M. Jones; June 27, 1939 - We had cars and planes by this date, just to let you know how stupid saying the motor was invented in 1939 sounds

peanut butter: George Washington Carver; 1896 - YES, YOU GOT ONE RIGHT! HOOOORAY!!!

refrigerator: J. Standard; June 14, 1891 - Wrong, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_low-temperature_technology

stove: T. A. Carrington; July 25, 1876 - NOPE, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kitchen_stove

typewriter: Burridge & Marshman; April 7, 1885 - ARE YOU KIDDING ME? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Typewriter



Other things invented by Blacks People

Break Dancing - Yep, you now have 2 points

Chess - not even close, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chess

Jazz - yes, that's three

Blues - four

Rap - five

Reggae, Ska - not sure, but I'll allow it... six

Rock and Roll - HELL NO, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rock_and_roll

Super Water Blaster - what is this?

Fiber Optics - No dice, http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fiber_optics



I admit that blacks have invented stuff, but come on. Don't post a list that's so completely full of ****, it's pathetic.
