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.

Don’t know the channel very well, this giy walks through their claims and shows what was claimed, shows what was actually invented, and then goes over two actual inventions where they didn’t even name the inventors.
Something to do with a public demo proving Edison’s Direct Current system was safer than Tesla’s A.C system .... by electrocuting a horse. People were shocked.
Say Watt? Speaking of light bulbs, Joe isn’t the brightest bulb in the room.
An elephant iirc. One that was to be put down anyway - for trampling someone???
Ya, and black men are responsible for the KKK too!
Think about that one, and tell me it ain’t so!
Ask Biden who invented Pig-Bear-Man , that should be interesting too!
Blacks invented everything!
And he invented it while flying around the Egyptian pyramids — which he also invented.
Damn, I thought HRC invented it as she was dodging sniper fire on the tarmac a few years back.
On the TV show Time Team, they excavated a large concentration camp in Britain for Napoleon’s soldiers. So by the Boer war, they had experience.
It’s rather pathetic - they don’t care about actual history unless their group is involved somehow, or a minor character in history is found and made the focus of attention. After several generations of being “taught” those things, it seems impossible to correct their thinking now.
And don’t start me on claims that the ancient Egyptians - and even Greek Cleopatra - were black!
The light bulb was one of those inventions that was developed independently in various places and gradually improved. Edison improved it, but did not invent it.
I call mostly BS. Not to take away from him, but he invented a more improved filament, not the light bulb. However, a black guy inventing the lightbulb is more believable than Al Gore inventing the internet.
He would have more credibility if he had said tom stole it from nicola but it would not fit the white black racism narrative but we all know CORN POP invented the light bulb
Of course, without that other white guy who died in obscurity, the light bulb would have run on 12 volts.
or you could practice law in Wisconsin and skip the bar
Wow. I didn’t know that Wisconsin still did that.
Who the hell cares? If a black invented the light bulb, yes, he should be credited, however Thomas got it marketed...
Wakanda forever
AND-—Did they grade ‘on the curve’???
