Have black people ever invented anything useful?

Put it into perspective-That's all great but lets keep things in perspective... so someone came up with a list of 2 dozen items that were invented by black people? That's great, *thumbs up*... all while everyone else invented 1000s, probably even millions of things, you could write whole books about all the inventions in the world...
I'm not intending to sound racist, I'm not, I could care less who invented what, it doesn't matter at all, just pointing it out the facts...
stupid ass racist thread which backfired.
blacks were slaves in U.S., then 2nd class citizens until the 1960's, thus the achievements are far more spectacular.
and the egyptians, responsible for some of the profound inventions of human civilization, many of which were merely copied and improved upon by "inventors" as technology spread.

yea for sure, they shot a little short about him (introduced by Oprah) and his role in helping slaves escape with the underground railroad system.. specially with slaves crossing the river into Ohio, from Kentucky. check it out if you can: BROTHERS OF THE BORDERLANDComment

that's racist, you should be banned for thatComment

Beginning of civilization - Egypt
You have to be in a situation where you have the oportunity to invent....
How many jewish inventors in nazi germany?
Lack of inventors reflects more on the society than the people who fail to invent.
Really you are pointing out how total racism was in western "civilization".Comment

Do you think from 1776 - 1960 if a Blackman invented something he would be able to take credit for it? I know that a lot of Black People invented stuff but it was probably stolen or blocked by people in charge and the victim was killed or raped. Yes I said raped because homosexual raped was invented by slave owners.Last edited by mhende6600; 01-10-2011, 10:10 AM.Comment

This whole thread is obviously flame bait, but if you want an example ... WRITING and MATHEMATICS.Comment

well, thats debatable. writing proberbly developed in the middle east, counting could have developed anywhere but maths as a science owes its origins to europe and (again) the middle east.Free traffic and backlinks from one of the fastest growing adult pinsites on the net - SAUCY PICTURES!

looks pretty white to me http://inventors.about.com/cs/invent...tin_cooper.htm. there's others without checking that are wrong on that list too.
however its a fairly unfair comparison as a lot of the major inventions we all think about were invented in the days that black people throughout the world were very poorly, if at all educated. (edit: didn't realise you said this later on in the thread)Last edited by roly; 01-10-2011, 03:33 PM.Comment

This list is more myth than truth.
Try googling a few items, very few are close to being fact.
At least half are disputed on this page:
