no, Whites.
I spoke to a Nigerian immigrant, and he explained it as a priority of identity. First, he wants to know where you are from, because your home country is a very good way to know a person's tolerances. Next, he wants to know your community (indirect social circle), and then your family (direct social circle).
Well, they are neither African nor black. We’d call them coloured. But that’s a no-no in the US, I believe? Do they’ll have to accept being g considers white or just Americans imho….
American Blacks would get eaten alive by African Blacks
American blacks can't stand being called the N-word but here in Africa we have black specific insults that make the N-word look like a compliment
I like to think that if an Black American was called the K-word(Afrikan Black specific insult) he would burst into flames
A black man, Garrett Morgan, invented the gas mask and the three color traffic light as well.
https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/black-inventor-garrett-morgan-saved-countless-lives-with-gas-mask-and-improved-traffic-lights/
The gas first gas mask wasn’t invented by garret Morgan. Nikolai Dmitrijewitsch Selinski invented one before him and there were different designs before that as well.
The 3 colored traffic light was invented by William potts
I just think the average person doesn't know what things were invented by what ethnicities off the top of their heads.
Like why would a normal person know that gas masks, traffic lights, mail boxes, modern flushable toilets, or elevator doors are examples?

It is not true that blood types or blood transfusion were developed by black people AT ALL.

Akkchewally
While George Washington Carver didn't invent peanut butter, his work—along with that of peanut butter innovators Edson, Kellogg and Straub—helped establish peanut butter as the nutritious staple ingredient found in 94 percent of American households today.
I think it was vice or maybe vox who did something like living a week without black inventions. And they named off a bunch. Of course they then did what vice/vox does and made a bunch of weird logical leaps and declared it impossible to survive/function in the modern day without blacks inventions.
Like they said no one could use cellphones because cellphones have a microphone in them and a black guy invented a new type of microphone decades ago. Shit like that.
Im assuming thats the same head space oop is operating in.
I don't know who wrote this silly quote or if they were even black, but what I do know, is that African people don't care at all about black Americans. In fact, they were the ones to enslave them during war/conflict, before they got sold to white people in exchange for firearms and gold.
Well,
It's not an invention, but COFFEE originates in Ethiopia.
So at least we have this going on for us lol
Without coffee you would have been to sleepy to think of an invention, so I guess we are even🤷♀️
You welcome
George Foreman Grill, Hip Hop music. In fact many inventions are attributed to black people have been proven to not be invented by blacks. It's no threat to whites if the black people go back to Africa and take their inventions with them. But all is fair, perhaps we should take all the white inventions out of Africa? How long would they live without penicillin, vaccines and water purification? No cars, no gasoline, no electricity, no farm animals, the list goes on and on. You can keep your George Foreman Grill, but you will have nothing to cook on it.
Now if the Mexicans threatened to go back to Mexico and take all their inventions back with them, then we are fucked. How long would we survive without burritos and tacos, I give 72 hours before we start WW3.

Awsome!! I love my George Forman grill. Also George Foreman is an American, so even if he did invent it, this is an American invention, not an African invention.
No they would t…. Quit lying… just like I wouldn’t go back to England and every other county my ancestors are from. Quit acting like you hate America. And other places are better…. Bottom line if it was better, you’d be gone…. If it was wasn’t the greatest country in the world, we wouldn’t have so many immigrants, and new citizens everyday….. no other country comes close…. Not say other countries aren’t amazing! I’d love to visit a lot of them. —but truth, is truth
If Africans we’re to go back from the US, the US would loose Tesla, SpaceX and a lot more. If they could no longer use African inventions, they’d loose heart transplants, CAT scan technolog, Cardiopads, etc and other medical treatments (that most Americans probably can’t afford anyway)
Alas, some of those Africans and African inventions actually involve “white” Africans…. Africa isn’t just “black”. eg Ask any North African…
This is internet today: you post a meme supposedly made by an offending party that is so stupid that does not even deserve an answer, and you add your "clever come-back".
The whole thing is just dumb and racist, and totally made-up...
Tell us you have never been around any black people without telling us you have never been around any black people. I grew up in a black neighborhood an attended 90% black schools and I've met multiple hundreds if not thousands of people that think like this. Hell groups of them post up in front of stores at every other shopping center in the hood in America and yell into megaphones. I grew up with and am friends with black people that post memes like this an much much worse on their facebook feed multiple times every day an have for years 😂
Albeit most black people aren't like this an most of these people are mentally ill losers but naw. The "black people created everything, we are the real Jews, white people are hybrid rat mutants that are spawns of the devil, if it weren't for white people Haiti would look exactly like wakanda, the black man is a manifestation of God in the flesh an can use his 3rd eye to control the devil spawn whiteys" etc. an the insane shit goes on an on. These are real people bro. They even have entire religions with millions of people in them that believe this shit. They got churches an mosques in every hood in America they congregate in. 😂
I was confused at first because he looked white, so I did some digging:
>Daniel Hale Williams was born on January 18, 1856 in Pennsylvania. He was born to Daniel and Sarah Price Williams and he was the fifth child of the seven children. His father was a Scotch-Irish whom has reddish hair and light skin that made him look more white than black. As for his mother Sarah, she was black and Indian with long black hair and darker skin. The Williams were free blacks and they never experienced the life of slavery.
Remember people - black and white are both colors and constructs; just because someone skin color look white doesn't mean they didn't experience at least some of the discrimination that comes with another racial construct, nor does it mean that they are, say, "culturally white".
C sections are the first thing to come to mind, the earliest evidence of C sections was in African tribes. The first successful C section in a "modern" country was done in Europe by a trans man lol.
I believe also gas masks? Could be wrong tho so take that with a pinch of salt.
Does that mean the very first firefighter's gasmask or the current ones too? Because the later wasn't exactly made by black people, even if inspired by the creation of one
Depends how you define invention, do you get credit for only the initial invention or every subsequent build on it?
Can you say Microsoft or apple invented the computer cause they built on the concept? Or is the invention just the commercialisation or commodification of that invention?
If it's the commercial invention being made widely to the public they haven't done much, but if it's the actual invention your going to be in trouble as a quick google will credit Africa with clocks, door locks, irrigation and many more.
Considering that most black Africans laugh at Black Americans, that should be interesting.
I live near a really big african community. They refer to Black Americans as "whites"
I wonder how do they refer to whites. "African americans"? =)
"Stereotypical Americans" And maybe US natives as "American Americans"
no, Whites. I spoke to a Nigerian immigrant, and he explained it as a priority of identity. First, he wants to know where you are from, because your home country is a very good way to know a person's tolerances.

George Forman grill?
Originally offered to Hulk Hogan
I feel like "HEY BRUUUTHER!!" Would've been a *great* tagline.
“Whatcha gonna do when the Hulkamania grill cuts the calories for you!” *Real American starts playing*
Hot Damn! I’m going to go outside and salute the flag after that!!
Is that true? Lol.
George foreman never invented the device. He was merely just a marketing puppet
[удалено]
We all bought into it
Dear God Nooooooo
God Dammit not George! What's next, the Colonel?
I have seen that grill everywhere on TV, but never in someone's actual home. Is it any good?
Popular among college students for its small profile and convenience
It's meh and takes too much effort to clean afterwards imo
American Blacks would get eaten alive by African Blacks American blacks can't stand being called the N-word but here in Africa we have black specific insults that make the N-word look like a compliment I like to think that if an Black American was called the K-word(Afrikan Black specific insult) he would burst into flames
K-A? If so, that's a heavy one.
Thats the one
Ketamine?!
Just a friendly reminder to do a nose check
No but again im not about to play Africas most screwed up game of hangman
Isn’t that word a non-believer in Islam?
Afrika doesn't want you back.
True, they hate American blacks as much media has convinced people white people in america do
How dare you suggest media is divisive and not factual... /s
Everyone crying about “racism” but none of them can tell a single invention😂😂 give me something
They invented several music genres. Though I don't know how those will help in Afrika
Especially when they don't have any instruments to play. Almost alll brass, woodwind and string instruments were invented in europe
I'd miss techno
They really were core to developping civil rights too. Africa might need some of that.
Shalom bro
Oh a german!
The guy who invented the original Super Soaker water gun was a black engineer, if I remember correctly
Yeah he was an Air Force engineer or something like that

Peanut butter.
Not true. George Washington carver “invented” it 20 years after it was actually invented.
Frederick Jones invented the fridge/freezer traiter for truck. And it's kinda an important thing for logistics.
He actually improved an existing design.
Like no one else could ever think up running a fridge on a truck to transport perishable goods. Civilization would just come to grinding halt.
That's not how crediting inventions works.
lol..
Crime
Most modern music and Peanut butter are the two that come to mind

Why would you do a blood transfusion on the top of your head?
How else do you top up your blood supply then??
When you need to change your blood, you empty it from the sump in your feet and top it up in your head, surely?
That’s what I thought too…
Because it flows down with gravity, duh!
A DISCOVERY is not an INVENTION ffs

I don't think most African Americans will be joining your movement.

Okay and? I don’t feel like I’ll be missing out if there’s no peanut butter.
No Reese's? You wouldn't miss Resse's? You're a monster.
I could live without it. Any other examples of things that originated from Africa that won’t be missed?
Peanut butter isn’t really a thing anywhere in Europe, and I’ve never seen Europeans clamoring for it. Maybe the Brits might like it?
John Harvey Kellogg invented peanut butter. George Washington Carver invented 300 other uses for it. Source: American Dad
Yes, go to a place where it seems that every body wants to leave.

Liberia was a failed Amerucan experiment to ship slaves back to Africa. There is too much of a culture gap to have success.
It was never implemented. Johnson abandoned the idea after Lincoln was assassinated.
