I have read thread after thread by right wing whites bragging about what they have created. I have been told consistently about what blacks haven't done, how we are living using things whites created and how we should be grateful to whites for it. But there is a problem with that.
THIEVES! Black Inventions Claimed By White People
"Throughout history, inventions have fueled progress, transforming societies and shaping the world as we know it.However, not all stories of innovation have been treated equally. There's a side of history that often goes untold, a side where inventions created by Black minds were unfairly stolen, suppressed, or overshadowed by an environment fueled by hatred, racism, and inequality.
This wasn't just about stealing ideas; it was an attempt to rewrite history and undermine the incredible contributions of Black individuals. The patent system, designed to safeguard the rights of inventors, frequently worked against Black creators. Discrimination ran rampant, with many Black inventors being denied patents or having their contributions stolen. This unequal treatment further perpetuated the cycle of stolen recognition and opportunities."
