Joe Biden makes bizarre false claim that a black man invented the light bulb, 'not a white guy named Edison'
UK Daily Mail ^ | September 4, 2020 | Lauren Edmonds

Joe Biden on Thursday said that a black man created the light bulb, 'not a white guy named Edison' during a speech while in Kenosha, Wisconsin.

Biden made the remark at the Grace Lutheran Church while speaking with community leaders after a private meeting with the family of Jacob Blake, a 29-year-old father who was shot seven times in front of his children this month.

He traveled to the embattled city after President Trump made an appearance earlier this week, despite push back from local leaders and the Blake family refusing to meet with him.

” had a chance to talk to a Biden supporter the other night. Apparently, the fact that Biden is barely functional as a human being is not on his radar. I like this man. He’s a nice guy, very religious...but he’s the typical state employee. They aren’t all this unintelligent, of course, but the ones I have known are not big on introspection or critical thought. Life, to them, is made up of rigid, simple rules. If something is outside of that world view, they don’t see it and can’t analyze it.”

He may be very religious, but he isn’t spiritual. He may go to church every Sunday, he may be very visible and vocal about his religion, but he is not in the grasp of the Holy Spirit. Millions believe in God, but few believe God. No Democrat is a Christian. A Christian cannot belong to a party that endorses abortion, same-sex marriage, homosexuality, etc. All of these are an abomination in the sight of God.

A black man did patent the process to create carbon filaments which actually made the light bulb practical. And he did work for Edison. So Biden is kinda sorta partly almost right.

Something I never knew, though. Interesting bit of knowledge, notwithstanding that Joe scrambles the details.

Lewis Howard Latimer - a draftman. He contributed to the telephone and the electric light but to say he invented them is a stretch.

This claim is not bizarre at all. It is merely part of the Left's effort to further brainwash the masses into believing that America was founded on the concept of slavery (which is theft of labor--one of the primary Marxist accusations against the free market systems).

It is just a natural extension of the NY Times 1619 Project narrative.

Joe is just warping the truth about Lewis Latimer, one of Edison's pioneers, who did in fact make an improvement to the filament (among other things).

“I believe there is a good chance they are moving over to the Trump side.”

Street violence, dying businesses and perversities vs. a black guy and evil filament light bulbs way back when.

“C’mon, man! I’ve been to Wakanda! Those good-looking, well-spoken black people had light bulbs waaayyy before white folks did!”

Know someone exactly like this too; he sees no disconnect between his Christianity and the Democrat Party. The letter “D” means everything to him.

” it’s the Independent voter that has to be flipped.”

My impression of how the average independent voter thinks goes, “gosh he’s cute. He’s got my vote.” But, yes, I hope you are correct and they’re moving towards Trump.

The ENTIRE DNC, Democratic PARTY, and every progressive - commie - socialist b@$t@rd needs to be kicked out of office, schools, and any decision making that impacts others livelihood... if the persons were reversed and Trump said stupid stuff like this — it would be 24x7 news with a special counsel from Congress investigating it... oh wait, we just had that made-up bu11$h1t the last 3 yrs...

It is hard to figure out which decade Biden’s brain is staled in.

Trump's been known to do that from time to time as well. I don't think it's a sign of anything except attempted pandering on Biden's part.

“...sees no disconnect between his Christianity and the Democrat Party. The letter “D” means everything to him.”

Decades of progressive/leftist/D indoctrination has been very effective here.

Sheeple see no disconnect between their Christianity (whatever it is to them) and Democrats, abortion, faggotry, fornication, idolatry, gluttony, sin.

Most Christian churches and denominations are now apostate, false. If a member of the World Council of Churches, they’re absolutely apostate:
