Have black people ever invented anything useful?
 

Have black people ever invented anything useful? Or are they just as useless as most women?

Ok, a women invented the dishwasher, it's really useful.
What about the blackies?

There's rap...and there's also rap. Oh wait, rap sucks.

Most people dont use "rap" in their daily lifes. Please try again!

seriously , fuck off.. who cares what black people invented, turn your hate into something positive. Joking around with stereotypes is one thing, hatred of someone because they are black is just silly.

A bit better but still not that great.

there's an ad by the United Negro College Fund that has a bunch of African American inventions - cant remember them but they were pretty interesting.

Dont get mad, I think it's pretty interesting that most inventions seem to come from white dudes. Dont you think?

hmm cell phones were invented by a black guy, didn't know that tidbit.. guitars too.

ha - in the UNCF ad they do mention the golf tee and the ice cream scoop.

refrigerator, cell phone, typewriter, lock... some nice ones.

not really , we kept black people as slaves with no education for hundreds of years , during the time "white" people were progressing at an astronomical rate. It isn't like its a mystery. What have you invented ? apparently theres a shitload of black people smarter than you :)

Strange, I was wondering the same about Swedish people this morning and came up with the Swedish meatball.

What have you contributed to the advancement of civilization? Ill written adult blogs? :thumbsup

I doubt there's people smarter than me and all black people were not slaves.

I invented the 2 hour work-week for myself. That's about it.

they created Hummus also

smokey is right, they invented alot more shit then you would even dream of. white people came from black people you fuck tard racist

We got Alfred Nobel. Really nice guy, too bad he's dead.

I'm not a rasist, I just asked if black people were useless.

Hopefully you'll never need a blood transfusion :

The Negro that invented blood plasma storage methods might rise from the dead and cut your shit off.

Black history month is not for "black people"; it's for ignorant people that need to educate themselves.

Falafel also

go kill yourself! :321GFY

Have you ever invented anything useful?

none of you idiots knew that a black man invented the cotton gin?

any of you idiots even know what a cotton gin is?

lol it was pretty expected. :1orglaugh

yep nothing new its a cycle.

They invented shooting stupid people asking racist questions on internet forums.

ur gonna need this one

:winkwink: i kid

:1orglaugh:1orglaugh:1orglaugh
Yeah this one did not require a crystal ball! :winkwink:

Would this stupid thread have been created if this person knew about black inventors
already? No.


So thanks.

I find it quite insane that Jesse Jackson who was in fact just as important
as MLK in the organizing of peaceful marches to stand up against some of the
nastiest bigotry in the modern world at that time; but now he's a bigot. :helpme

He's only called a bigot by a bigger fucking bigot that's angry that a negro don't bow
to his stupid ass.

:1orglaugh

Yeah, but that's not why a congress woman has a hole in her head right now.

everyone here uses at least 3 of these daily :)

Please ignore all inventions made by black people, especially while speeding in your
car.
