There have been fabrications but they come from all sides. It is true that many historians of past and present try to rewrite the past. Remember that the victors' version of history is always different than the defeated (American history text books look very different from German history text books).
One interesting thing that you should note: Inventions, including some of those of blacks, were 'stolen' in early American history. Sometimes records were kept, other times they weren't. Remember, this was a time when many blacks were slaves with no civil liberties or rights. If you had the best idea or invention in the world, it's unlikely you would ever get credit for it, in the text books (or any recorded version of history).
All races have contributed to modern civilization. One may argue some have more than others (maybe, maybe not), and if that makes one more proud than that's fine. But, don't feel compelled to denegrate other races while doing so.
It just makes everybody who is a member of your race ashamed of you.
