“A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Tom Edison” — Biden
twitter ^ | 09/03'20

Posted on 09/03/2020 6:36:57 PM PDT by dontreadthis

Lewis Latimer, the black inventor Biden’s presumably referring to, is credited with creating an improved filament — as well as successfully testifying that Edison’s patents on the first practical lightbulbs were correctly granted.

Latimer’s career is very impressive.

No reason for Biden to lie about and distort it.

the one thing blacks did invent...rap music, look how they screwed that up...actually killing each other over it.

They didn't even invent that, the 1st Rap song was Rapture by Blonde (Debbie Harry).

In some cases, yes. I don't know a lot about Latimer (if that's who Biden is talking about) but he appears someone worth reading about.

He was a runaway slave, he studied French, he was a skilled patent draftsman who worked for Alexander Graham Bell, he also holds several patents. It appears he worked on filaments when it comes to electric lighting.

"Africa is the most prosperous high tech continent on the planet"

Didn't Al Sharpton say that white colonizers "stole" mathematics from Africa?

How would they do that?

Math simply exists.

Didn’t some black dude accept the Japanese surrender on the battleship “Misery”?

The bar exam is difficult. It’s like the verbal part of the old SAT on steroids, with an essay day (or two) added on. It’s no picnic, especially if you are not verbally skilled and prepared for it. Three years of law school and a bar prep course should be enough to pass.

There you go. This is the most adult and reasonable comment of the thread.

No reason for Biden to lie about and distort it.

Untrue. You don't foment a revolution by being adult and reasonable.

My understanding is you don’t technically need the schooling to pass the bar exam and become a lawyer. You just have to pass.

Is that true?

"Edison took to electrocuting elephants in public to discredit Tesla, the guy was a jerk"

I'm not sure that Edison did the elephant stunt, but his movie company filmed it.

Ref: "Topsy" the elephant.

Greeks and Romans - amazing discovery after another.

What did Joe Biden deduce when he sat under a tree and an Apple fell on his head?

Math exists in the reality around us, but human cognizance and rules of math had to be invented. Arabs had a role in that development, but I don’t think that’s what Sharpton meant.

Joe Biden actually said that if you can use a shovel, you can write software.

Biden is one of the glad handing, shameless politicians that will say anything.

Qualifications vary from state to state. Usually, a degree, background check, and passing the exam are required for a license. There might still be some apprenticeship type things on the books in places. Passing without the education or prep would be an impressive achievement.
