They even take credit for the invention of peanut butter
George Washington Carver admitted publicly that he not only didn't invent peanut butter...but that he never invented anything. He said: 'I made new applications for things that were already invented.'
BTW, he died with a bank account of $1.2 million (in today's dollars). Not bad for a guy with no DEI to help him out. And he was black plus gay.

Yeah, Frederick Jones was significant. It’s a shame more don’t know about him.

Charles Drew did not invent the blood transfusion but he did invent the process for separating and storing plasma which allowed transfusions to become commonplace. He was a big deal.

Fine I’m voting Harris now you tards are racist why is this even a topic. You woke up on a Saturday to be angry about a random thought the black people get credit for inventing stuff?

Yep, but the mechanism was complex enough to earn him a patent. It also greatly reduced traffic accidents.

Frederick McKinley Jones. He started and owned ThermoKing. Worth 3 million n 1946.
So yes, and no.
Don't bother with the clothes dryer guy, either. That one's even sadder.

Jack Daniel's is the world's most popular whiskey brand, but until recently, few people knew the liquor was created by Nathan "Nearest" Green, an enslaved Black man who mentored Daniel.

Right, but it’s not all tribes and mud huts in Africa. Large African cities have typical westernized designs.

Rap is just a form of Skeltonic Verse begun long ago by the English poet John Skelton (1460-1529).
The next time you hear anyone talking about “cultural appropriation” be sure to bring this one up because it usually puts a stop to that nonsense in a hurry.

Not sure if this has been mentioned yet, but the North American slave trade?
For clarification, step one is to create the product, be ready for mass production, and sell it. The buyer is never the inventor.
