Biden's history a black man invented the lightbulb

Thomas Edison never invented that lightbulb. See it was a black guy. This is what happens when you allow your history to be stolen.

Joe Biden: Why Don't We Teach History? "A Black Man Invented The Lightbulb, Not A White Guy Named Edison"

During a town hall with residents of Kenosha, Wisconsin in the wake of riots in response to a police shooting last week, former Vice President Biden wondered why schools don't teach history in history class anymore. "I cannot guarantee everything gets solved in four years, but I guarantee you...

The light hasn't come on in Biden's head yet.

Anyone notice when Joe AGAIN claimed to have become a professor after leaving the Vice Presidency, while he spoke in Kenosha?

Just curious. It's so funny.

UN-FREAKING-BELIEVABLE. Creepy, Sleepy, Groper Joe is THE worst presidential candidate I've seen in my lifetime, and I was born in 1961. He is pitiful AND pathetic.

Filament for Light BulbLewis Latimer invented the carbon filament in 1881 or 1882? No!
English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain. On the other side of the Atlantic, Thomas Edison developed a successful carbon-filament bulb, receiving a patent for it (#223898) in January 1880, before Lewis Latimer did any work in electric lighting

You have to feel sorry for the guy. He obviously is suffering and his people are trying to prop him up. They are probably telling him all sorts of lies just so he will keep going.
During his so called speech he started rambling about taxes then lost his way and claimed he had better stop or he would be shot.
Did he really think he was in danger?

His wife must not give a shit about her husband to allow him forward in this process. Poor old bastard shortening his already pathetic life every single day in this pursuit.

He was late. He made no meaningful contribution. Just more black myths to teach for black history month. Biden is a fool

That is right. No black man invented the light bulb! Technically, neither did Edison really. People all over from America to Europe had been working to develop a practical source of electric light for many years based on a number of technologies, with each making small contributions. The main problem was finding a material that would both incandesce and do so bright enough at a low enough power AND have a commercially practical lifespan that you weren't changing out bulbs every day.

Many things were tried and I think it wasn't until after Edison that the switch to tungsten filament was found to further improve it, but Edison mainly got the official credit because he created a complete SYSTEM and was the first to be able to DEMONSTRATE it to investors, that made electric light rudimentary practical by offering a means of DC generation, a wiring circuit to distribute the power AND the light bulb, which was enough to provide electric light for a few city blocks around New York.

But it wasn't until Tesla developed and proved AC generation that electric light and power truly became marketable to the masses by making available widespread power generation across long distance.

I always suspected a janitor invented the light bulb. Probably the internal combustion engine too.

Actually....Edison did not invent the lightbulb, AND a black inventor improved it.

He always seems to know when he goes into la la land. I wonder if he starts seeing cartoon characters or flying elephants?

Even CNN is now laughing at Biden

No, a Black man didn't invent the light bulb. But Lewis Howard Latimer made it better | CNN

On Thursday, presidential candidate Joe Biden claimed that a Black man had invented the light bulb, not "a White guy named Edison."

Thomas Edison never invented that lightbulb. See it was a black guy.

Thomas Edison filed a lot of patents, that's for sure. Always at law in the patent office with some new machine, invention, or scheme of some sort. Some guys are too smart for their own good. Good old Albert Einstein was a clerk at the patent office, too, deciding whether or not others' legal claims to exclusive rights over some device or invention qualified for government protection and law enforcement.

Black guys I'm sure, also had light bulbs, cotton gins, and weaving looms that were programmable with punched cards long before IBM showed up on the scene. They weren't exactly welcome at the patent office or as plaintiffs in court.
