Don't get me started on George Washington Carver. Modern Marvels, a show on the History Channel, did an hour long special on his inventions. He singlehandedly saved Alabama from starvation by teaching them to rotate crops.

Africans invented every single thing except the patent office and germ warfare. Mathematics, science, language, astrology, medicine and the medical field, agriculture, showers, the art of washing your ***, clothes, the moors build spain and ruled it for hundreds of years before being killed off and their books burned to erase their great contribution to its history, first to know the distance from the moon, sun and planets, first to build ships and sail around the earth, first to have running water and showers, inventors of chess King Tut had one in his coffin), Africans are the Egyptians, dark skinned race who whites wish they were and are always trying to say is not black but that has been proven that the Egyptians were black, all the luxuries of life everyone is living right now, is due to the black man. He made the fridge, iron, he made that useless man's bulb light by inventing the filiment that made it work, made the first car that Ford stole (go look it up), Carver and his friends made the car and Ford took the concept cause they didn't want to support blacks, ironing board, 3D technology, comb, toilet tissue, the system of government, the almanac, first to do open heart surgery, cell phone, and I can go on and on. The question should be WHAT DIDN"T THE BLACK MAN CREATE? And he was the first on this planet and the creator of the human race. Go sit on that and rotate. White supremacy has allowed people to pose and fake. But history, world history is black history, so we celebrate is all year. No amount of lies and hate can deny, or convince most Africans that they're worthless. Their history suggest they are the brightest and more human than any other race. They are not killers, liars and murderers, just for the hell of it. Also, look up Black Wall Street and other black towns (there were over 10 of them), destroyed because of white hate because they couldn't keep up or out do them. Stupid, ignorant comments can't change facts honey. Read how the Moors taught you whites how to wipe and wash your asses properly. We know our history. Seems like you people need to do some more research. Blacks made so much things, to take the time to write them would be hours. Don't hate. Go and create something.

I'm terrible with names, but a black man was also credited with developing the process for peanut butter, and the method of separating plasma from red blood cells saving millions of lives. He supposedly bled to death outside a hospital emergency room because they didn't treat blacks.
