Black History Month

[S.J.]

Don't bother denying you are a racist, you idiot. And just who are "you people"?

Black people who cry "racism" every time someone says something they don't want to hear.

Why direct that "you people" towards me? Are you stupid?

It includes white people who do it too. I have no idea what color you are, nor do I care.

It never ceases to amaze how the mere mention of the term "Black History Month" gets some republicans foaming at the mouth.

You obviously care, and you obviously posted based on a stupid assumption, you pathetic loser.

Don't try to suggest these racist idiots represent the Republican Party. They don't.

I heard Rush Talking about this guy today, I thought it'd be a good idea to put him in this thread. Amazing man...He's from Detroit

Well, if rush talked about him he must be an Uncle Tom, imo.

This guy is one of the most brilliant Brain surgeons in the world and this is what you have to say? You're no better than the other racists

He sold out to the neo-cons.

There's a big part of the problem right there. When any black man succeeds on his own, through hard work and self-reliance, he is considered an Uncle Tom by the left because he takes away their argument that they can't succeed without a handout from the government.

You probably are black, but one thing is for sure. You are a stupid S.O.A.B.

Represent? No, that's why I stated "some republicans."

They do tend to identify with the GOP, though.

The Democratic party nor the Republican party are the root cause of what
has hindered the black community. The political system is comprised of a left wing and a right wing attached to one stinking bird.

The civil rights movement itself focused way too much on "extending an olive branch" as opposed to focusing on self reliance through economic empowerment by creating business opportunities and recirculating black capital within black communities.

It is a travesty that less than 1% of the businesses in predominately black communities are owned by blacks.

This a capitalist society, and without "capital", a community will remain powerless until it empowers itself.

Excellent points. In some ways, it seems that 'integration' (in the business sense) led to the downfall of many 'Black owned businesses'. A lot of times people want what they can't or couldn't have. Sometimes some of those 'Black owned businesses' took advantage of segregation and price gouged the very same people in their community.

Yes there was in fact a downside of black business ownership during segregation, however, pricing structures in the privately/family owned sector are always less competitive compared to those in the mass merchant channel.

Some of the highest pricing that I have ever seen has been in places like Chinatown, and Little Saigon in parts of Los Angeles. But the trade off is that these businesses are owned by Asians, and they support each other.

When new immigrants arrive, they are put to work in a network of family and friends, and supported while they build capital to start yet another business in their community.


I can recall my Grandfather being angry when he talked about the bus boycott in the south.

Over and over, he used to say, "our southern black brothers would rather sell out just to ride the bus with whites that hate them instead of walking for awhile and starting their own bus company. There is no honor in groveling".



If you look at cities like Tulsa (Black Wall Street) one can see how 'Black businesses' excelled. Fortunately today, depending on the business or service, one CAN start their own business without a lot of capital.

Very true, but unfortunately, in too many of our communities there is a zero black business growth rate.

Yes that is a sad thing. Sometimes people in those communities need to crawl before they walk. School, trade, work, gain experience, innovate, and start your own business.

More Black history should be taught in our schools. Their sweat, brains, and labor helped make this country great.

Why won't people do some research? Most of this were invented by whites, east asians or somone else earlier. Not saying that blacks didn't invent. Let's give credit when it is due and be truthful.

Say what ever but at least I've spent time researching this subject.

That is the height of your ability to debate. You're a joke. Honestly, that's how a 12 year old debates.

I've spent hundreds of hours researching this topic.

What's that supposed to mean?

Maybe they were joking.

 

[Pheonixops]

Dr. Carson is guilty of "acting white". He decided to leave the plantation.

What is "acting White"? What 'plantation' are you referring to? Are there still slaves working for free and out of fear of being whipped and tortured? A slave just couldn't "leave a plantation" without his White masters permission. If they were caught most of the time by White 'paddy rollers' they were bound, beaten, tortured, and returned to their masters to do manual labor. Where is this LITERALLY happening in the United States today?

People can take that insulting plantation reference they use against "the Blacks" and shove it up their asses.

How did he do that?

You probably are black, .

There it is again, the unmistakable sign of a truly illogical, juvenile moron. You are officially as stupid as shit.

Laser Cataract Surgery
Patricia Bath "transformed eye surgery" by inventing the first laser device to treat cataracts in 1986? Nope. Use of lasers to treat cataracts in the eye began to develop in the mid 1970s. M.M. Krasnov of Russia reported the first such procedure in 1975. One of the earliest US patents for laser cataract removal (#3,982,541) was issued to Francis L'Esperance in 1976. In later years, a number of experimenters worked independently on laser devices for removing cataracts, including Daniel Eichenbaum, whose work became the basis of the Paradigm Photon™ device; and Jack Dodick, whose Dodick Laser PhotoLysis System eventually became the first laser unit to win FDA approval for cataract removal in the United States. Still, the majority of cataract surgeries continue to be performed using ultrasound devices, not lasers.

It's not the site the info is posted on, but the patent that's important. I'll admit that blacks may of made some improvements to a few things! But within a white society. Could they even make the educational system to create the thought process within the negro socities? That's what's important!


Well, for myth 5.

1608 Telescope


File:Hans Lippershey.jpg
Hans Lippershey

Hans Lippershey created and disseminated the first practical telescope. Crude telescopes and spyglasses may have been created much earlier, but Lippershey is believed to be the first to apply for a patent for his design (beating out Jacob Metius by a few weeks) and make it available for general use in 1608. He failed to receive a patent but was handsomely rewarded by the Dutch government for copies of his design. A description of Lippershey's instrument quickly reached Galileo Galilei, who created a working design in 1609, with which he made the observations found in his Sidereus Nuncius of 1610.

There is a legend that Lippershey's children actually discovered the telescope while playing with flawed lenses in their father's workshop, but this may be apocryphal.

Lippershey crater, on the Moon, is named after him.[1]


"Hans Lippershey was born in Wesel, in western Germany, in 1570. He settled in Middelburg, the capital of the province of Zeeland in the Netherlands, in 1594, married the same year and became a citizen of Zeeland in 1602. During that time he became a master lens grinder and spectacle maker and established a shop. He remained in Middelburg until his death in September 1619."

Myth 3#
In 1860, an Italian named Antonio Meucci first demonstrated his working telephone, (though he called it the "teletrofono," mostly because Italians are wacky). Eleven years later, (still five years before Bell's phone came out), he filed a temporary patent on his invention. In 1874, Meucci failed to send in the $10 necessary to renew his patent, because he was sick and poor and Italian.
