Do you like internal combustion engines?
Thank a few white men. (Jean Lenoir, Nikolaus Otto, Karl Benz, Rudolf Diesel, Gottlieb Daimler, Emil Jellinek, Henry Ford among others.)
Are you a fan of flush toilets and indoor plumbing?
Thank white males Alexander Cumming, Thomas Twyford, and Isaiah Rogers
Toilet paper?
Thank Joseph Gayetty, W.M.
How about washing machines and dryers?
Thank white males Alva Fisher and J. Ross Moore.
“When you’ve got your health, you’ve got just about everything” ran the tag-line in a famous Geritol commercial from the 1970s, and the guys we most have reason to be grateful for are undoubtedly those who’ve developed the medical practices and the drugs and devices that have transformed our lives over the past hundred fifty years.
Before the turkey gets carved, it’s worth taking a moment to remember a few of these brilliant, persistent, and lucky men, and recall their accomplishments. Even when they’ve won Nobel Prizes in Medicine, their names are virtually unknown. They’re not mentioned in the Core Curriculum or celebrated by Google on their birthdays.
Pain
If you ever had surgery, did you opt for anesthesia?
If so, thank a few more white males, beginning with William Clarke in New York and Crawford Long in Georgia who both used chloroform in minor surgeries in 1842. A paper published four years later by William Morton, after his own work in Boston, spread the word. Ether replaced chloroform during the next decade. There are now scores of general and regional anesthetics and sedatives and muscle relaxants, administered in tandem. The first local anesthetic has also been superseded. It was cocaine, pioneered by a Viennese ophthalmologist, Carl Koller, in 1884.

This article is racist.
I tell these things to my sons to counter the deluge os “stupid white men” in every broadcast medium; I point out that almost everything they see today was designed and built by white men.
I also show them what other races live like since the whites left.
Especially the French! Being French I just had to say that! I have always been surprised by how many a labor saving devices were invented by us frogs.
Most vaccines were made by white men. Jews, at that. Oh, the horror.
Of course. And so is devoting an entire month to the “achievements” of Americans lucky enough to be descended from people unlucky enough to have been captured and sold into slavery by Muslim Arab traders and their African underlings. Horrible business, largely stopped by the efforts of a few dedicated white Christians. As long as we are making up holidays and holiday months, maybe August 24, William Wilberforce’s birthdate, should be commemorated.
“I also show them what other races live like since the whites left.”....
Want to make a REAL impression, take your son to Detroit, if you dare. There, he will see what really happens when the “White’s” leave. He can see it with his own eyes instead of reading about it in books, hidden on the top shelf in the public library.
I do not mean to sound racist (its getting easier though, day by day), just stating facts.
I’m nowhere near that, so they have to settle for the abandoned areas of Newark, Asbury Park, and Camden...The facts speak for themselves; no racism involved at all.
Why don’t you Zionists list the Palestinian scientific advances?
What do you mean, there aren’t any?
This article is racist.
...
And causes Global Warming.
But, but there are Palestinian scientific advances. The greatest is the open air reverse mental hospital for inbred youths in the Gaza Strip that takes marginally sane young men and converts them to mass murdering psychotics. The other, exceptionally well-designed to supplement the first, is the suicide bomb vest. The ignorant Jews have never invented anything like that.
These are the kind of guys that we used to learn about in American & World History. Now they teach that whites, Western Civilization and their accomplishments are evil. Why would we do that? Why wouldn’t we wish to preserve that which was for us?
Exactly. Everyone knows it was black muslime lesbians who built Western civilization.
And all the knowledge carried through the dark ages and built upon to discover all of those inventions? Thank a white male priest and a pope or two.
But if you really want to talk BIG, lets talk peanut butter.
Hmmm? What you got to say about that?
Hosea Williams, the Atlanta civil rights leader, didn't include Jews with whites. They were a separate category.
Write an article that isn't racist to make your point?
Would it be sexist if it was titled "Thanks, Christian White Men"?
You are correct sir. How dare these racist white guys invent things that help others. They are all obviously a bunch of racists. They should have waited for some chump from Kenya to invent these things. Of course, it might have taken another 500 years for that to happen, but that is ok as long as PC reigns supreme. S/
If women, blacks and gays didn’t have straight, white, males to vilify and blame for every ill, they would have to invent us.
