That is wholly false. There are lightbulbs that Edison made (by hand), that have been burning since he made them, and are still burning today!
Lightbulb manufacturers made bulbs to burn out so people have to buy more. True Story!

You can't pull the lies off when people absolutely know better and have seen the same bulbs burning for years.
It's part of the tour.
Dude. Stop being stupid. Look -
THERE IS NO QUESTION - That white people or people of Anglo European descent have created some great inventions.
Happy now ?
But without black civilization. There would not be any white or Asian civilizations.
But the West is currently on top, so nearly all the latest inventions and breakthroughs are going to be Western.
That is not surprising but it says nothing about white people having any special gift because if they did, they would have been on top for thousands of years, not just hundreds.
If white people had special gifts all of them would be super inventors and innovators which they are not.
Sure white people have invented things but at the same time 99.99% of whites have invented nothing and have been little more than peasants for the bulk of recorded history.
Your points only work during certain periods of history
In 1300 you could have made the Chinese inventor argument. They could have ran around bragging that they are the superior race because of their inventions
In 1000 BC you could have made the Egyptian inventor argument. They could have ran around bragging that they are the superior race because of their inventions
White people from Europe have been the most advanced part of mankind only twice now and back in Greek and Roman (and even then they gained most of their knowledge from Africa). Otherwise Europeans have been middling to backwards.
So called western technology is not because white people are smarter than everyone else. It's because progress in science and invention is built on what has gone before. The more science you know-The more science you can discover. The more inventions you have at hand. The more new inventions you can come up with. That is why the progress is exponential.
It comes from the nature of science and technology, not from the nature of white intelligence.
Also can you please reveal to me and everyone in usmessageboard.com what you have invented that is beneficial to mankind ?
You....@Marion Morrison ....You
Not some inventor whose accomplishments you are imputing to a whole group.
In fact tell us what each and every white person has invented as this is one of the special gifts white people possess. Right ?
Did you design this plane ?
Have you created a vaccine that has saved lives ?
If not, why are you taking credit for it albeit indirectly ?
You appropriate the accomplishments of a few and by implication state that it is because they are white.
I think part of what underlies the emotion of your argument is the experience of seeing white people in day-to-day life claim credit and get rewarded for something that a black people did or thought of first.
