Holy Crap! I never knew all that stuff was invented by Black people! But I honestly don’t think it matters what race created it.
Some were, some weren’t.
Nope The rotary engine was invented by a German named Felix Wankel in 1957
no. Do you really think nobody cut a biscuit before they explored africa? And most arent really inventions, just different versions of existing tech. Robotic arms were in use long before the first space shuttle was built.
A kitchen table? Seriously? In thousands of years, no one EVER used a table in a food prep area? Get real.
Your list only asserts that blacks can be taught basic tool use, same any other race. Not much to get excited about.
It would take months to find out how many really were invented by black people, but the list is highly suspicious. Some of the items (shoes, hair brush, kitchen table) are so ancient that there is not the slightest possibility that anyone knows who the inventor was.
I looked up a few of these more or less at random, those attributed to Granville Woods. Woods wasn’t really black (part Australian aborigine, part Malaysian). He was an accomplished inventor who held 60 patents and was known in his life as ‘the black Edison’. But he doesn’t seem to have truly invented any of the items attributed to him on this list, although he did patent significant improvements for many of them, and perhaps others not listed. G. W. Carver was also a great inventor, and he may well have developed some useful new formulas for soaps and paints, but both existed for millennia before he was born. So I suspect that many of the other items, if checked, would also not check out,
