world innovations and contributions by black people
 

list em.. im serious.

well to start........the blues, african art, carribean music and foods, countless inventions from the cotton gin and so on, numerous wars fought even though they didnt have rights at the time........... you want me to continue?

yes. I dont see those innovations getting us out of the stone age..so there has to be something i could describe as "if it wasnt for the black...."

Here's a list of black inventors

http://inventors.about.com/library/blblackinventors.htm

It's a short list but what did you expect? :1orglaugh

Well.. the thing is....

I had a discussion with a friend and he did have a point:

Internet is equal opportunity to the max.. kids with $15 allowance
got millionaires end 90's.. look at the porn biz.. Burger flipping idiots making a decent share of cash...

But where are the blacks? There are definitely some some colored
folks doing very well on the net but when you look at population
statistics and compare that to succesful black internet entrepreneurs theres a glitch ;)


And this time there's no excuse of "whiteboy keeping me down".

How come?

ok then you have the argument of ancient northern africa. at one time the leading city of knowledge was timbuktu (i cant spell), then you had the egyptians, the ethiopians also, the zulus and on and on


i'm not a historian so i wont give you exact examples but a shitload of modern art and culture was influenced from africa.



i dont know where your going with this but i totally believe that all cultures and creeds have shared in the innovations of the modern day.

Seeing as the dawn of man originated in Africa...I'd have to say....uhhhmmm....THE FUCKING WHEEL!

blah blah blah racist blah blah blah

There are some black guys in this business pulling down some good money. Most of the black guys I've known were doing interracial sites, dvds and doing great.

Right on


and

That's speculation, yur honor. I'd ask that his remark be struck from the record.

didnt they invent matches too?

yes.. civilization started in the african area but then humans
evolved to whitey and it seems they took over and black people
failed to grasp things from there.

So basicly im talking the last 300 years when shit really started to kick in for man kind!

kick ass fried chicken and cornbread

Well I can't argue with ignorance...*hyuck hyuck*...you fucking moron.

I contributed my black sperm to your mama's snatch....

Hello SON

The blacks on the Internet, is so stupid..

First off, I know some blacks that are doing very very well in this business, I can name at least 20 off the top of my head and I'm more than sure there are many more.

I would also say more whites have computers, last I looked I haven't seen many black computer nerds in the world. I do see a ton of fat over weight, white americans that started wacking off to online porn and then go into it.

Would also be safe to say that a higher % of whites have FAILED in this business.

BTW, I'm white..

there's a difference. Currently the majority, if not all, of the innovations come from labs operated by companies or institutes. You won't find that many individual scientists for various reasons; financial, technical and so on

Additionally, important innovations take place on daily basis. What we find out today with minimal use, can be next days big thing. One of the most important innovations is fiber optic. Do you know which company was behind it? I bet none here knows. There's a very large numbers of black scientists working in major labs. If black people had equal rights in the past, we would be able to list now more innovations by black people. Egyptians have a shitload of innovations.......and they don't look all white to me :)

Crack

thats the type of reply im looking for. True.

Whatever. White guys have done well in the last century or two but for the two millenium previous - heck, for the previous four to five thousand years, white guys had a shit poor record.

Modern civilization more or less started and ended in Sumer - that's the middle east. They had advanced astronomy, mathematics, language, the knowledge we live on a fucking planet, the zodiac, social and legal structures, the calendar, the wheel...you name it and they probably invented it.

Most civilizations from that point borrowed from Sumer except as we moved further along the line from Babylon to Assyria and through to the Egyptians and Greeks, that legacy of science and culture became more and more degraded.

Central American cultures and African cultures were all far more advanced culturally and scientifically than Europeans through much of history.

White guys have made their impact in more recent times and it ain't all positive. Along with our techological toys has come the stripping of our environment, pollution and the extinctions of numerous animal species. Oh, and the ability to wipe out all life in a nuclear conflict. Let's hear it for white guys! :)

hmm.. i doubt it.. but it would be a perfect explanation for my big dick.

The safety match was invented by a swede.

as nas says:

Be, be, 'fore we came to this country
We were kings and queens, never porch monkeys
It was empires in Africa called Kush
Timbuktu, where every race came to get books
To learn from black teachers who taught Greeks and Romans
Asian, Arabs and gave them gold when
Gold was converted to money it all changed
Money then became empowerment for Europeans
The Persian military invaded
They heard about the gold, the teachings, and everything sacred
Africa was almost robbed naked
Slavery was money, so they began making slave ships
Egypt was the place that Alexander the Great went
He was so shocked at the mountains with black faces
Shot off they nose to impose what basically
Still goes on today, you see?
If the truth is told, the youth can grow
Then learn to survive until they gain control



Timbuktu, Mali, is the legendary city founded as a commercial center in West Africa nine hundred years ago. Dating from the 16th to the 18th centuries, the ancient manuscripts presented in this exhibition cover every aspect of human endeavor and are indicative of the high level of civilization attained by West Africans during the Middle Ages.


Timbuktu was captured by Maroco and destroyed.

of course it's not politically correct to say this.

but i'm an old guy, and very well-traveled.

so i can only tell you what i have seen.

in any part of the world that is predominately black you see a lower standard of living. you can't blame whitey for all of this.

ain't many whiteys in haiti, but the same basic fuckups.

south africa is now run by a black government, did it become more prosperous? no, standards of living were lowered for every resident.

i can go to any major city anywhere in the world, and without seeing any people on the street or any signage, tell you if the inhabitants are predominately black or a different race.

in america you know you are in a black area, where you see the guy at the gas station sitting behind bulletproof glass.

where you have to prepay before you can fill your tank.

where you need to get a key to take a piss.

it's the little details that tell you something.

the world is slowly changing. and the socalled "white" race is probably not the most productive per capita (maybe the japs are) but blacks as a whole have not made much progress in this world.

not a popular statement, but true.

one caveat, the best blues and jazz singers in the world are probably black women.

:) you guys are funny boys. relax and go with it, we cannot change the world.

Hahahah...so true.

It does not matter what country you are in (for the most part), race is a determining factor (or has been) in social standards. That being said, race has determined and set forth a future of lower educational standards, living standards and basic skills applicable to leading a more predominately lucrative life for certain races, namely blacks.

Those bunch of burger flipping kids that made millions on the Internet probably did so from there dad's computer and learned portions of computer related skills from highschool. If your theory were valid, then it would extend to people living in Indonesia, China and Peru. Why haven't more of them (or any in some cases) made millions on the Internet?

I don't think that saying there aren't enough blacks on the Internet making money validates any theory that racism has not contributed to our current social dilemnas.

The United States enslaved blacks for years while saving money on work labor and becoming what we have today: a superpower.

I am not arguing over today's race tensions, I think they are blown out of proportion (in other words, don't blame me for my ancestry), but judging a race / ethnicity's worth by arguing history and it's cohesive relationship with present time socio-economics using who invented donuts or who made millions online as your main premise seems a bit questionable. It is what it is.

But that is just my take on it, and I am not the brightest bulb on GFY. So take it for what it is worth.

GFY never ceases to amaze me.

watermelon cultivation in North America

give me a couple millions of white slaves and i'll create you a great standard of living. :) Africans under white slavery had no living standards.

...
we wouldnt have:
gangs
stabbings
shootings
drug deals
music videos making ppl think that they are rappers with guns and can just shoot anyone
and less ppl on welfare

and before anyone starts to talk shit bout the above...


"When total incarceration rates are estimated separately by age group, black males in their twenties and thirties are found to have high rates relative to other groups. Among the more than 2 million offenders incarcerated on June 30, 2002, an estimated 596,400 were black males between ages 20 and 39 (table 13).
"Among males age 25 to 29, 12.9% of blacks were in prison or jail, compared to 4.3% of Hispanics and about 1.6% of whites (table 14).
"Although incarceration rates drop with age, the percentage of black males age 45 to 54 in prison or jail in 2002 was an estimated 3.9% -- more than twice the highest rate (1.7%) among white males (age 30 to 34)."

hmmmmm

congrats nigs:thumbsup

Listen to How High the white freak tells some in harvard.

I don't think food or music can be concidered innovations... as everyone has to eat, it's just people cook diffrently :) same with music.. every race of people have sung songs.. just diffrent types of music, so I would concider nither a invention.

now as just a guess I'd say Africains invented the drum but I can't be 100% on that.

I don't think Africans had anything to do with the wheel.. as they never put it to use.. my guess would be the egyptions for the wheel.. but then again that's just a guess

They really got the edge.

penis pills-hey if it wasnt for a hung brotha all women wouldnt know the dick difference

penis pills dont work ;) so there you have it... :winkwink:

Yes so true. The past is what dictates the future.

If you enslave blacks for hundreds of years do not expect them to catch up in a few decades.

and what all these people, black and white, have in common? The majority of them are poor. Show me stats (percentages) regarding the wealth and standards of living of black and white people in states. They will make your stats pointless. :)

still peeing on your balls eh?

The George Foreman grill :Graucho

That wheel theory is a bit of a longshot..

That's bs.. youre talking about african americans..

First:
Whites are a minority in the world population.. and looking at
the time scale they are pretty new kids around the block
compared to the black peeps in africa.. they had zillions
of years to develop, evolve and become superior.....but instead of that whitey captured and enslaved them with ease...

Second: did you ever look at africa?
Oldest populated continent in the world and its still like
living in the stone ages there..were they enslaved and/or supressed by whitey?

true :(

Understandably, negroes do have a penchant for lying about having invented alot of things. See the following page for some revealing information:

http://www33.brinkster.com/iiiii/inventions/

If it wasn;t for the fact that all of those invention lies are being taught as truth to white kids during "BLack History Month" (an oxymoron in and of itself), the level of deception employed by negroes and their wigger sympathizes to "prove" that they are not the worthless, stupid, ugly coons they seem to be would be comical.
