Including “white men” such as GW Carver who created whole lines of chemical processes with the peanut and tobacco. A lot of other white men made a lot of money off the research Carver did.

Then we have “white man Garret Morgan” who invented the modern 3 position traffic light and the modern gas mask.

Sure white men did a lot but so did those other “white men”.

We need to give credit where credit is due. Otis a white man invented the elevator but Alexander Miles another “white man” modernized the design including the use of automatic opening and closing of the doors including the closing of the outer shaft doors as the elevator inner doors would shut.

Got a pacemaker? It’s modern control unit was developed by an other “white man”.

The fact is, in terms of modern inventions that have made our lives easier, the inventors themselves are almost their own race, regardless of “skin color”. The contributions are so intertwined that the various inventions and counter inventions that depend on previous discoveries can’t be separated out by the race of any particular inventor.
