Potato chips - invented in 1853

Crack cocaine - invented around 1980, didn't come into mainstream American use until 1984

So by your logic, potato chips were invented as a proactive revenge for the invention of crack 127 years in advance?

Even today, black scientist/inventors hardly get no credit nor wealth from their work. The peer review process is full of bias and very homogenous. Blk ppl didn't invent the social reward system (nobel peace prize) nor this political system so what could we expect on a positive note from their achievements.
