its not if he says so. its historically suppressed but its their and provable. sheesh. you are extremely naive to believe that white people and only white people invented everything that contributes to the world and society. very narrow minded thinking..
GARRET A MORGAN.
African American InventorsThomas L. Jennings
(1791-1859)A tailor in New York City, Jennings is credited with being the first African American to hold a U.S. patent. The patent, which was issued in 1821, was for a dry-cleaning process.Norbert Rillieux
(1806-1894)Born the son of a French planter and a slave in New Orleans, Rillieux was educated in France. Returning to the U.S., he developed an evaporator for refining sugar, which he patented in 1846. Rillieux's evaporation technique is still used in the sugar industry and in the manufacture of soap and other products.Benjamin Bradley
(1830?-?)A slave, Bradley was employed at a printing office and later at the Annapolis Naval Academy, where he helped set up scientific experiments. In the 1840s he developed a steam engine for a war ship. Unable to patent his work, he sold it and with the proceeds purchased his freedom.Elijah McCoy
(1844-1929)The son of escaped slaves from Kentucky, McCoy was born in Canada and educated in Scotland. Settling in Detroit, Michigan, he invented a lubricator for steam engines (patented 1872) and established his own manufacturing company. During his lifetime he acquired 57 patents.Lewis Howard Latimer
(1848-1929)Born in Chelsea, Mass., Latimer learned mechanical drawing while working for a Boston patent attorney. He later invented an electric lamp and a carbon filament for light bulbs (patented 1881, 1882). Latimer was the only African-American member of Thomas Edison's engineering laboratory.Granville T. Woods
(1856-1910)Woods was born in Columbus, Ohio, and later settled in Cincinnati. Largely self-educated, he was awarded more than 60 patents. One of his most important inventions was a telegraph that allowed moving trains to communicate with other trains and train stations, thus improving railway efficiency and safety.Madame C.J. Walker
(1867-1919)Widowed at 20, Louisiana-born Sarah Breedlove Walker supported herself and her daughter as a washerwoman. In the early 1900s she developed a hair care system and other beauty products. Her business, headquartered in Indianapolis, Indiana, amassed a fortune, and she became a generous patron of many black charities.Garrett Augustus Morgan
(1877-1963)Born in Kentucky, Morgan invented a gas mask (patented 1914) that was used to protect soldiers from chlorine fumes during World War I. Morgan also received a patent (1923) for a traffic signal that featured automated STOP and GO signs. Morgan's invention was later replaced by traffic lights.Frederick McKinley Jones
(1892-1961)Jones was born in Cincinnati, Ohio. An experienced mechanic, he invented a self-starting gas engine and a series of devices for movie projectors. More importantly, he invented the first automatic refrigeration system for long-haul trucks (1935). Jones was awarded more than 40 patents in the field of refrigeration.David Crosthwait, Jr.
(1898-1976)Born in Nashville, Tennessee, Crosthwait earned a B.S. (1913) and M.S. (1920) from Purdue University. An expert on heating, ventilation, and air conditioning, he designed the heating system for Radio City Music Hall in New York. During his lifetime he received some 40 U.S. patents relating to HVAC systems.Patricia Bath
(1942-)Born in Harlem, New York, Bath holds a bachelor's degree from Hunter College and an M.D. from Howard University. She is a co-founder of the American Institute for the Prevention of Blindness. Bath is best known for her invention of the Laserphaco Probe for the treatment of cataracts.Mark Dean
(1957-)Dean was born in Jefferson City, Tennessee, and holds a bachelor's degree from the University of Tennessee, a master's degree from Florida Atlantic University, and a Ph.D. from Stanford University. He led the team of IBM scientists that developed the ISA bus—a device that enabled computer components to communicate with each other rapidly, which made personal computers fast and efficient for the first time. Dean also led the design team responsible for creating the first one-gigahertz computer processor chip. He was inducted into the National Inventors Hall of Fame in 1997.
Of course their are alot more.also have to think that, during the 17 -18 AND EARLY 19 hundreds, alot of what black people invented , was stolen. the ideas. to think that white men were the only ones to invent serious contributions to the world ,is absurd. we live in the age of technology. people shouldnt hold onto racist ideas for no other logical reason other than hate. enlighten yourself with real history. not just the white mans history.

peepsqueek , What you said makes white racists more ridiculous than ever. They are ensalved by the elite yet they are foolish enough to still champion white supremacy, and vote against their own self interests, just because they are ignorant enough to hate Blacks

shouldn't be a surprise, the ONLY reason blond white females scored the highest is all our lives, we've had that "blond and beautiful" message rammed down our throats. I guarantee you had it been the reverse "blond and ugly" or "dark and beautiful" or even "purple-skinned and lovely," a purple-skinned female would have collected the most money. Let's stop
(continued from post below) Let's stop pretending we don't know that it's about white beauty, while subjecting everyone who isn't white to the default standard which has NOTHING to do with true beauty otherwise blonds wouldn't spend so much time getting a suntan
all the so-called "aware" folks on threads like this know that no BM, including President Obama, is in charge.The folks who decide if WIII will happen are all WM. Let's keep it real.
But some are still falling for the OLD CON GAME of racial scapegoating/distraction instead of facing the FACT that your worst enemy looks like the man or woman in the mirror.
At some point, you will have to make a choice: keep practicing racial politics OR deal with the real enemy to survive. It's just that simple

Great post. Some men are misguided and actually believe giving up his manhood (and the whole pursuing, courting etc is a part of manhood- there are things a man learns about himself during this process which also helps him in the larger world) is a testament to his manhood.There are exceptions to the rule. Yet, if a man wants to do something, a man should be just active and accomplish their goals directly. So, I do believe that a man should court a woman, because culturally we men are territorial, we like our space, and we can be aggressive because of our testosterone. Therefore, a real man should be active in communicating with a woman for romance first. Sometimes, subconsciously, a woman courting a man views the man as inferior socially (not physically), because some women see that man as a work in progress (not as a real strong, progressive human being or not as an equally, emotionally strong partner). That is why some men who are courted by women feel lackadaisical in their relationships. They feel entitled when a relationship is about common bound (and mutual sacrifice) not a man depending on a woman for most of his needs.
It's very creepy for a man to be desperate to depend on a woman for his livelihood. It's very embarrassing for a man to give up and just let a woman to court him at every circumstance. So, if a man has trouble in the dating scene, that man should step back (and have self reflection and work on himself emotionally & socially then focus on dating people. That man can focus on his education, occupation, and other facets of his life before having a long term relationship with a woman. Getting advice is great too).
