Willis Haviland Carrier would strongly disagree.
“. . . Name one Supreme other than Diana Ross.”
Mary Wilson (Hey, that’s the music of my era).
OK. I heard many years ago that the inventor was black.
Florence Ballard......we got them all well except for the two early ones who left before they hit it big. :)
All of this is fine, but history books have never been filled with the names of inventors, save a few who invented truly transformative things.
There are thousands of Americans in our history who invented and patented something useful. How many of the thousands should school children be required to learn about?
Heh. You got me there. :)
When I was a little kid, I loved seeing Aunt Jemima’s picture on that bottle of syrup. Her smile was so warm and sincere. Of course, the Left have to get rid of that lovely image. A lot of us are sick of this crap. I certainly don’t know how this cold civil war is going to end, but it will come to a head. BTW, I guess everybody here knows that being a spokesperson/face of the product this lady made a nice living and her family was so proud of her. I am so beyond disgusted at what is happening to our country.
I hear you. I'm have been awarded 9 with a few still under evaluation, not to mention a few trade secrets that the companies did not want disclosed. Maybe got enough for me to get a few Happy Meals while the corps made millions, but money was not the driving factor. A leapord can't change its spots.
I was in a supermarket yesterday and it was still all Aunt Jemima on those products. The ridiculous new name and label apparently haven't made it to the retail shelf yet.
“I still remember growing up and having to endure some black inventor who found all these uses for a peanut - even though, to this day, all I ever did was eat them.”
That would be George Washington Carved of the Tuskegee Institute.
The poor farmers friend.
And they’re guaranteed to complain for at least 5 days of it...
The world needs to honor the black inventors and leaders who turned Africa into the world’s leading economic engine—with a continent full of prosperous folks....
Oops..wrong parallel universe....
Because the liberal blacks who teach black history do not know black history.
Only in America could these black inventors have accomplished what they did. In Africa such people would have been snuffed out the minute they showed that they were brighter than the ruling chieftain. In an atmosphere of fear and superstition that has ruled the African continent, such inventive brilliance might never have developed at all. Only under the umbrella of a universally decided upon Judeo-christian consensus of morality that has influenced the west, that takes away the fear of death and the grave could such inventors have arisen.
The good news for Pearl Milling they no longer have to pay descendants royalties.
I love the inventions of black/Black inventors. For real!
The automatic coupling device on railroad cars was invented by a Black/black man. He had witnessed how dangerous the job was and how many yard workers lost a leg, etc.
And remember that many blacks/Blacks had no formal education 75 to 100+ years ago.
The premise for AC was conceived in 1824 by Carnot, a Frenchy.
