“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.

Hey Joe! Would that be the light bulb YOU and your criminal minds banned from use and replaced with a light bulb that would give 45 percent less light causing the nation blindness. We would think so. Your ilk are well aware we need a bright light shining to recognize the grief the party of common crooks have in store for this America.

I understand many schools are requiring a course in black history for graduation. I can only imagine what they will claim.

Well I don’t think he sucked. He did have many successes but he was very unethical in his business practices.

A real inventive\industrial hero people hardly anybody talks about is George Westinghouse.

“He stole the majority of what he claimed to invent.”

Like what?

The Soviets did invent the gulag.

Actually, the British invented the modern concentration camp during the Boer War.

I think it would be fair to say Joseph Swan invented the concept of a vacuum bulb. Edison saw the problem with the design, improved it, and patented it. Ya he was a scumbag in a lot of ways, but this was good science and business. Oh, Joseph Swan was a white guy too.

Longer-Lasting light bulb with a Carbon Filament ...... Which came from the African-American inventor Lewis Latimer.

And the Carbon filament was almost immediately abandoned in favor of Tungsten

Do a Google search of “American inventors” and then tell me that Google isn’t evil.

When I was in grade school Carver was featured as the “man who found a thousand uses for the peanut.” That was the first effort to find a semblance of equivalent genius between the races. Now it’s “the black man invented every damn thing.”
