Cali,

Not that I have anything against it, but what's with the obsession on threads somehow involving races?

Isn't that enough? Peanut butter is spectacular stuff.

George Washington Carver invented several things that are made out of peanuts. But I don't know if he invented peanut butter. I think some white guy named Skippy did that.

Well my point in posting this thread is to say that if you believe all these things were invented by blacks then you just swallowed afro-centric lies hook, line, and sinker.

Some of these claims are false or exaggerated, seemingly for the sake of boosting the self-esteem of black americans. I think this is insulting to them. Instead of claiming others inventions as your own, how about pointing out the REAL achievements of black americans? Like blues and Jazz, and many other wonderful things.

Oh, I forgot to click on the link. Yea, I guess that some of those claims are exaggerations to say the least.

Got any examples, Caligastia?

Of the top of my head, horseshoe seems rather suspicious. Could be a patent on a new type of horseshoe, however.

It's poorly written. Dr. Drew invented a method of isolating blood plasma. He also created the first Blood Bank. A lot of people owe their lives to that man. It's rather common knowledge.

Some of the "inventions" on this website are indeed mere improvements on existing inventions.

To me it seems insulting to blacks when people make false claims to supposedly "boost their self esteem". It implies that blacks need to lie about their achievements in order to feel good about themselves, as if they have no real achievements to be proud of. Its PC racism.

I tried to invent something once but I found out it was such a hassel to patent it that I gave the idea away but no one made them anyway. I will sell the idea here to the highest bidder...

Does blood plasma exist on it's own? No, it has to be made, by seperating the other component parts of blood, such as platlets, corpuscles, etc. You could make an argument that he did invent it. But as I said, it's poorly worded.

I meant of fake inventions. Art is often pooh-poohed by people seaking to denegrate Black folks. This list points to a number of scientific and technical achievements to sho both whites and Blacks that they are indeed capable of producing such work. Anyway, if I were you, before I go knocking down that list a few pegs, I'd follow the link to about.com and see just how much of the list is actually accurate (and how woefully inadequate it is).
