Invent from Lesson One: Hip-Hop & Education

[HybridD91]

How did you forget Mark Dean, David Crosthwait, Frederick McKinley Jones, Lonnie Johnson, George F. Carruthers, George Robert Carruthers, Waler Lincoln Hawkins, George Edward Alcon Jr, Kunle Olukotun, David Blackwell, Sylvester James Gates, Joseph L. Graves (debunked J. Rushton's bullshit work btw), Kerrie Holley, Ernest E. Just, Jerry Lawson, Arlie Petters, Soni Oyekan, Jesse Russell, Viven Thomas, and Ben Carson? You could've done better.

I FUCKIN HATE NIGGER PROPAGANDA.

[ImWillsGirl2011]

Thank you for this positive upliftment. You are very talented. I plan on using this in the classroom. Please keep this type of music coming. Children need educational songs that are informative and hot! Thanks for keeping it hip hop and not corny!

Where are all these other black inventors and inventions in Sub-Saharan Africa?



[WhiteTribalist]

Very short video, & I couldn't help but notice that all except 1 or 2 of these individuals had considerable White racial admixture. Percentage wise they were all either half or three quarters White.

great video!!! inspired a great project for my young minds at home.PEACE

[iHynan]

8charlie I would've insulted you, but your various moronic comments seem to do the work for me. Please, being stupid is not a trait one would like to share with the world.

[8Chancellor8]

Lmao "black inventors" is an oxymoron

I notice all these "inventions" they clam as black are just "improvements" since when is an improvement an invention ? silly groids 

[HybridD91]

@8Chancellor8 I will keep that in mind when I read about whites who built on the Arabs' modern Chemistry and Algebra but what have you improved or invented? I will wait for an answer.

[8Chancellor8]

@HybridD91

Well I hate to make you wait that would be just terrible . But I'm curious how your question relates to a discussion on race .

[HybridD91]

@8Chancellor8 Answer the question or keep your red herrings to yourself.

[jamie123ginge]

blacks invented high gun crime, shitty rap music , penut butter that they lick off my penut better, and spears

[LupuArdelean]

blacks didn't invent shit look at Africa how it look study how they rape there woman they r primitive if they did invent something witch i doubt it was invented in white nations that is for shore

[visionimagify]

@LupuArdelean Sub-Saharan Africa is like that, because of RICH RESOURCES being drained by corporations, chinese immigrants and past apartheid & colonialism.

[LupuArdelean]

@visionimagify so y black's rape there on woman like in haiti for example ?

in chile there was a worse earthquake than haiti yet no rape victims people work with each other not rape each other r africans not capable to defend them selfs

[visionimagify]

@LupuArdelean I can say the same for Caucasian men sleeping with their 13 year old daughters, or sleeping with their family members. Two can play that game.

[LupuArdelean]

@visionimagify no u can't that sounds more like jewish behavior read the Talmud if u r talking about the austrian guy that had children with his own daughter Fritz was his name he was a german JEW but dude look at africa & if u claim is the white mans fault it only shows that maybe the white man is better then the Black sence u can't fix u countries on u on & u always ask EU,USA & now China for aid to fix u own problems

what was up with Rwanda short sleeve long sleeve that is what u were asking

[trayder29]

I guess the black woman who just won 2.5 billion for proving that her movie scripts (The Matrix, Terminator, and all its sequels) were stolen and claimed by some white people is a myth too... Thats just one example... Idiots.. blacks just got a voice about 50 years ago. Back then we had no choice but to give our inventions away... What the hell could we do..

[TranCendenZ]

@trayder29 Do a Google search for the February 2010 Examiner article titled, "Debunked Sophia Stewart vs. The Matrix story still circulates web." Sophia Stewart never won a lawsuit against the creators of The Matrix and The Terminator. Her big day in court was in June 2005 at the U.S. federal court building in Los Angeles, but she never bothered to show up, and Judge Margaret Morrow dismissed Sophia Stewart’s case for lack of evidence.

[B17GMODEL]

One thing is clear from this video: Blacks invented how to take credit from inventions they did not invent. Like the light bulb or light bulb filament, the "Real McCoy", traffic signal, air brake, automatic railroad train coupler, refrigeration, air conditioner, blood bank, gas mask, lawn mower, etc....... the list goes on and on

[SmartHipHopMusic]

"In 1858 the Attorney General of the United States ruled that since a patent was a contract between the government and the inventor, and since a slave was not considered a United States citizen, he could not make a contract with the government." - Ivan van Sertima

[SmartHipHopMusic]

"But when there is a perceived attempt, conscious and unconscious... to minimize or exclude the contribution of people of a certain race, then an emphasis upon those invisible people in history becomes a duty, a mission, a necessary corrective." - Ivan Van Sertima

[techn0teen]

I am white, and I enjoyed this. I am going to use this video as inspiration to my friend who is convinced the world is not ready for a famous, black inventor. I don't want his genius to be wasted because of society.

[lakmas]

that the African American community has contributed to the country. Are you so ignorant that you can only believe that white folks invented everything ever made in this country? That doesn't seem childish to you? Its almost as if slavery damaged your perception of reality worse than it did ours. You actually think the term 'real McCoy' that WE use stems from Scottish literature? Cmon dog.' You think that a white woman invented the hot comb? In England? For African American slaves?

[mikeg642000]

A small rubber platform invented by Scotsmen William Bloxsom and Arthur Douglas was the world's first patented golf tee (British patent #12941 of 1889). The first known tee to penetrate the ground, in contrast to earlier tees that sat on the surface, was the peg-like "Perfectum" patented in 1892 by Percy Ellis of England. American dentist William Lowell introduced the most common form of tee used today, the simple wooden peg with a flared top.

[mikeg642000]

The oil cup, which automatically delivers a steady trickle of lubricant to machine parts while the machine is running, predates McCoy's career; a description of one appears in the May 6, 1848 issue of Scientific American. The automatic "displacement lubricator" for steam engines was developed in 1860 by John Ramsbottom of England, and notably improved in 1862 by James Roscoe of the same country. The "hydrostatic" lubricator originated no later than 1871......

[mikeg642000]

Continued....

Variants of the phrase Real McCoy appear in Scottish literature dating back to at least 1856 — well before Elijah McCoy could have been involved.

[mikeg642000]

The US Postal Service says that "Street boxes for mail collection began to appear in large [US] cities by 1858." They appeared in Europe even earlier, according to historian Laurin Zilliacus: Mail boxes as we understand them first appeared on the streets of Belgian towns in 1848. In Paris they came two years later, while the English received their 'pillar boxes' in 1855. Laurin Zilliacus, Mail for the World, p. 178 (New York, J. Day Co., 1953).......

[mikeg642000]

Continued...........

From the same book (p.178), "Private mail boxes were invented in the United States in about 1860."

Eventually, letter drop boxes came equipped with inner lids to prevent miscreants from rummaging through the mail pile. The first of many US patents for such a purpose was granted in 1860 to John North of Middletown, Connecticut (US Pat. #27466).

[mikeg642000]

The possibility of using blood plasma for transfusion purposes was known at least since 1918, when English physician Gordon R. Ward suggested it in a medical journal. In the mid-1930s, John Elliott advanced the idea, emphasizing plasma's advantages in shelf life and donor-recipient compatibility, and in 1939 he and two colleagues reported having used stored plasma in 191 transfusions.

[mikeg642000]

Continued.......... Charles Drew was not responsible for any breakthrough scientific or medical discovery; his main career achievement lay in supervising or co-supervising major programs for the collection and shipment of blood and plasma.

[mikeg642000]

He founded a research laboratory, Gourdine Laboratories, in Livingston, New Jersey and a company, Energy Innovation, in Houston. The companies developed engineering techniques to aid removing smoke from buildings and disperse fog from airport runways, and converting low-grade coal into inexpensive, transportable and high-voltage electrical energy. He was inducted to the Dayton, Ohio, Engineering and Science Hall of Fame in 1994. He also served as a Trustee of Cornell University. -Wikipedia- TRUE

[mikeg642000]

The earliest patents for train telegraphs go back to at least 1873. Lucius Phelps was the first inventor in the field to attract widespread notice, and the telegrams he exchanged on the New York, New Haven & Hartford railroad in January 1885 were hailed in the Feb. 21, 1885 issue of Scientific American as "perhaps the first ever sent to and from a moving train." Phelps remained at the forefront in developing the technology and by the end of 1887 already held 14 US patents on his system. ....

[mikeg642000]

Continued.. He joined a team led by Thomas Edison, who had been working on his "grasshopper telegraph" for trains, and together they constructed on the Lehigh Valley Railroad one of the only induction telegraph systems ever put to commercial use. Although this telegraph was a technical success, it fulfilled no public need, and the market for on-board train telegraphy never took off. There is no evidence that any commercial railway telegraph based on Granville Woods's patents was ever built.

[mikeg642000]

It is sometimes falsely cited that Joyner(Marjorie) was the original inventor of this type of machine, called the permanent wave, or perm. Her design was an alternative version of Karl Nessler's groundbreaking invention, invented in England during the late 1800s and patented in London in 1909 and again in the United States in 1925.(U.S. Patent 1,522,258) -Wikipedia

[mikeg642000]

The first automatic-transmission automobile to enter the market was designed by the Sturtevant brothers of Massachusetts in 1904. US Patent #766551 was the first of several patents on their gearshift mechanism. Automatic transmission technology continued to develop, spawning hundreds of patents and numerous experimental units; but because of cost, reliability issues and an initial lack of demand, several decades passed before vehicles with automatic transmission became common on the roads.

[mikeg642000]

The invention of the gas mask predates Garret Morgan's breathing device by several decades. Early versions were constructed by the Scottish chemist John Stenhouse in 1854 and the physicist John Tyndall in the 1870s, among many other inventors prior to World War I. See The Invention of the Gas Mask.

Research by Barry Mackintosh, who served as bureau historian for the National Park Service (which manages the G.W. Carver National Monument), demonstrated the following:.............

Most of Carver's peanut and sweet potato creations were either unoriginal, impractical, or of uncertain effectiveness. No product born in his laboratory was widely adopted. The boom years for Southern peanut production came prior to, and not as a result of, Carver's promotion of the crop. Carver's work to improve regional farming practices was not? of pioneering scientific importance and had little demonstrable impact.

Abel Cottey, a Quaker clockmaker from Philadelphia, built a clock that is dated 1709 (source: Six Quaker Clockmakers, by Edward C. Chandlee; Philadelphia, The Historical Society of Pennsylvania, 1943). Banneker biographer Silvio Bedini further refutes the myth: Several watch and clockmakers were already established in the colony [Maryland] prior to the time that Banneker made the clock. In Annapolis alone there were at least four such craftsmen prior to 1750........................

[mikeg642000]

Continued.............. Among these may be mentioned John Batterson, a watchmaker who moved to Annapolis in 1723; James Newberry, a watch and clockmaker who advertised in the Maryland Gazette on July 20, 1748; John Powell, a watch and clockmaker believed to have been indentured and to have been working in 1745; and Powell's master, William Roberts.

Movable-type printing first appeared in East Asia. In Europe, around 1455, Johann Gutenberg adapted the screw press used in other trades such as winemaking and combined it with type-metal alloy characters and oil-based printing ink. Major advances after Gutenberg include the cylinder printing press (c. 1811) by Frederick Koenig and Andreas Bauer, the rotary press (1846) by Richard M. Hoe, and the web press (1865) by William Bullock. ............

[mikeg642000]

.. Continued Major advances do not include Lavalette's patent, which was only one of 3,268 printing patents granted in the US by the year 1888

[mikeg642000]

Margaret E. Knight (1838-1914) was an employee in a paper bag factory when she invented a new machine part to make square bottoms for paper bags. Knight can be considered the mother of the grocery bag, she founded the Eastern Paper Bag Company in 1870. On 20 February, 1872, Luther Crowell also patented a machine that manufactured paper bags. -Wikipedia

Of the several hundred US patents on ironing boards granted prior to Sarah Boone's, the first three went to William Vandenburg in 1858 (patents #19390, #19883, #20231). ..........

[mikeg642000]

...Continued The first American female patentee of an ironing board is probably Sarah Mort of Dayton, Ohio, who received patent #57170 in 1866. In 1869, Henry Soggs of Columbus, Pennsylvania earned US patent #90966 for an ironing board resembling the modern type, with folding legs, adjustable height, and a cover. Another nice example of a modern-looking board was designed by J.H. Mallory in 1871, patent #120296.

[mikeg642000]

English engineer Edwin Budding invented the first reel-type lawn mower (with blades arranged in a cylindrical pattern) and had it patented in England in 1830. In 1868 the United States issued patent #73807 to Amariah M. Hills of Connecticut, who went on to establish the Archimedean Lawn Mower Co. in 1871. By 1888, the US Patent Office had granted 138 patents for lawn mowers (Butterworth, Growth of Industrial Art). Doubtlessly there were even more by the time Burr got his patent in 1899.

[mikeg642000]

..Continued

Some website authors want Burr to have invented the first "rotary blade" mower, with a centrally mounted spinning blade. But his patent #624749 shows yet another twist on the old reel mower, differing in only a few details with Budding's original.

lol

[cjmarsh504]

@TheWhitevoices Sorry, not a mixed breed sorry Edomite.

[tnbitfigures]

So glad white guilt is coming to an end and peoples eyes are awakening and disproving these invention myths.

@moojeed No, I am talking to you desendent of Esau, that sold his birthright for a morsel of meat, Eventhough your an desendent of that hunter,

[moojeed]

@cjmarsh504 I'll let you keep track of the religious bullshit. I'll keep track of who invented things.

[cjmarsh504]

@moojeed Ehhh, wrong again cletus, the so called Negro invented some things that we are taking for granted for too long.

[moojeed]

@cjmarsh504 What did the so-called Negro invent? Lay it out so I can stomp on it.

[cjmarsh504]

@moojeed Not all of us are stupid, you still have alot to learn Edomite.

[TheWhitevoices]

@cjmarsh504 Depends on how much White is in u, look at these a lot are just mixed not real Negroes!

@cgreenartpro1 Great! 60 inventions. White=millions.

[ineedsomescrilla142]

@hannityforpres actually whites have way less than millions u dumb ignorant white piece of shit. most inventions were by blacks, asians, ancient egyptians(who were also black), and almost every race but the whites. the thing that whites invented = racism, theft, brutal violence, inhumanity, etc. shut the fuck up u piece of shit. im part white and I detest every bit of white blood in my system even as miniscule as it is. White heritage disgusts me, im not saying i hate whites, just their history

@MegaZeitgeist I think civilization would have found a way but we definately got the ball rolling in Egypt.

We're all the same species though, the traits we divide "race" on are the least important traits that humanity has to offer. Brilliant men come from all parts of the world, and so do idiots.

[MegaZeitgeist]

Yes your correct their are brilliant people in every race and crumbs in every race as well you are so right. But black people are the brain childs behind civilization bar none and your right color has nothing to do with it hey it's a human thang.

@moojeed what a racist closed minded scum bag you are. So your saying black people never invented a thing? How fucking dumb are you. Go and throw yourself off a building, the world could do with less scum like yourself.

[moojeed]

@bashie22 Blacks invented poorly-made spears and mud huts. Look around the room you are in then go outside and look up and down the street. Everything you will see was invented by a White man.

Oh, wait. I'm sorry. My mistake. Blacks also invented those stylish sandals made out of flattened out two liter bottles that are so popular in the land of your ancestors.

[bashie22]

@moojeed seriously you smoke crack! the most bullshit ever. Do u actually realise that white people came from black people!? Nope you would never be able to comprehend that as your a closed minded prick. Your always gonna think white people invted the whole world but this is actual bullshit. Even white friends & family members of mine would admit it. I feel sorry for you.A) your mindset is full of bullshit and lies, And b) Your a internet pussy you would never get brave if i saw u in real life.

[kyokushin1]

@moojeed white people invented disease and famine. If you look at the history of th world, everyone was loving life before white people came. Once white people came, everything went to crap. There is a term for an organism that invades and destroys its host.  That term is "parasite", which is what white people are; a parasite to the world. They're genetically weak; what other living thing burns and gets jacked up by something so natural as the sun?

[visionimagify]

@kyokushin1 Pretty much. Everyone was segregated in their own right, but not segregated hatred like Caucasians in the past and some hide today. Recreational drugs weren't invented by blacks, but mostly Germans who regret bringing them into the world.

[Antwansuperstar21]
