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.

This why I hate LEGAL immigration. These immigrants couldn’t care less about our history and culture. Most have animosity towards whites and think we are colonialists IN OUR OWN COUNTRY!! They think the have a right to colonize the USA. Just like liberals take their voting habits with them wherever they go it’s the same with LEGAL immigrants.

Would he care to provide the name of the said black man who supposedly invented the lightbulb?

The first electric lamp was invented in England by one Humphry Davy, an English chemist and inventor, long before Latimer was even born. Dementia Joe is talking nonsense as usual.

He’s living his black light poster days from the early 70’s. Black light right?

If something is outside of that world view, they don’t see it and can’t analyze it.

“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.”

Actually Latimer patented a method for IMPROVING carbon filaments, he didn’t invent them. He also patented an improved bathroom for railroad cars. Does that mean he invented the toilet?

Actually, I think a couple of Canadians invented the light bulb and then patented it in Canada. They couldn’t figure out how to commercialize it and sold their stuff to Edison. The Canadians did this before the black man did, in the early to mid 1870s.

And some British guy had a lousy version using paper filaments before the Canadians.

He’s embracing White-self-loathing in the hopes that it gets him Black votes. It will get him votes from White-self-loathing liberals.

He’s a pathetic loser. Normally, we wouldn’t criticize a feeble old man who’s losing his senses. But gropey joe is running for office, and so he has to take the criticism.

Yes but he painted them black, so they didn’t sell very well.

I suspect Biden may have unintentionally been hinting that Edison was racist because he stole a black man’s idea.

The fact that the black man owned the patent instead of Edison is pretty telling, in my mind.

Joe realizes this isn’t just about race…right?

”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.”

Every time they cite a black person who made an important contribution it should be turned back on them by using that fact to point out that black Americans have been instrumental in America’s success throughout its’ history. Use these facts to squelch their “America is inherently racist, and all blacks were nothing but slaves” narrative. I’ve been using this in personal conversations, and it leaves libs speechless when they realize how wrong their black victimhood “history” is.

I especially love telling them about the many wealthy blacks in colonial times, including over 3,000 who were slave OWNERS. That causes their little pea brains to melt.

The GOPe and talk radio also ascribe to the notion America and western civ are both beholden to racism and slavery as original sins

Well, when the media, academia (K-post graduate), and entertainment are focused on brainwashing everyone, no one is immune except for the few who see what's going on.

This is a Marxist revolution and it's occurring around the world.

Actually it was a black transgender person who invented the light bulb

How do you account for the fact that a light bulb has a male thread that screws into a female socket?
