A lot of uneducated, ignorant clowns on here. Don't get me wrong, nothing wrong with a little humor in good taste, but this thread is just ignorant.

For what it's worth, that list is highly controversial. For example it's pretty much been established that a black man did not, in fact, invent the cell phone.

I also, at random, chose 'fountain pen' from the list, and the wikipedia page for fountain pen doesn't even mention William Purvis, the black man alleged to have invented it.

I guess the issue is, black people HAVE been downtrodden in history, so is it morally right to falsify history, or at least distort and exaggerate black history, in order to instill much needed self-esteem in black people?
