Blacks have made contributions to a few things and invented a few others themselves, but mostly they're little trinkets and things which would be better described as 'quirky' than 'useful'

Most of those on the list aren't even inventions, and some of them are simply falsely attributed

Also when will the African-American Ancient Egypt meme die?

>>2022415
>>2022297
A lot of those things were just modifications of existing technology that they kind of shoehorn into claiming as an "invention".
Obviously they already had saddles, but that Davis guy came up with a more ergonomic version of it, according to the internet at least.
>William invented his saddle while serving as a buffalo soldier, African American solders serving either in the 9th and 10th Calvary or 24th and 25th Infantry who manned the Western borders. Davis served under the leadership of General Pershing in the 10th Calvary division. When the troop ran after Creek Indians , they had to travel a long and grueling journey on hard trotting horses. The rides were rough so William had an idea of how to make these rides easier by modifying the saddle they were using.

Same shit applies to a lot of those inventions. Like the guitar. It was the "modern" guitar, probably a redesign of whatever fretted string instruments already existed

>>2022646
Every invention is based on previous inventions.

>>2022677
True, and legitimate revelations are possible, especially within science, and some inventions could be considered more revolutionary or impactful than others.

I'm not saying that all of those things aren't important or good inventions, just explaining to those anons who are having a hard time believing that list that inventions aren't absolute epiphanic creations from scratch, there is a degree of piggybacking involved

Whites are the only ones who contributed anything of value to this world, maybe a few inventions here and there by chinks. Shitskins are not capable of inventing things.

Daily reminder that all the important genres of music invented in the last 150 years have been pionered and invented by black people.

Only retarded storfront retards deny that blacks have taken white classical music and improved on it.

Blacks have bigger creativity than whites for music, since whites can only be credited to academical music, folk european music and some shit like Vals.

All the important white musicians in the last century have getting famous using black genres.

Deal with it.

Multiple designs for beer taps, the cue rack, braking systems for trucks and buses, and an automatic gear shifting device.

Invented the blood bag, and created one of the first official blood banks.
>I.R. Johnson
Invented a folding bicycle frame that became the basis for most modern bicycles.
>W.H. Richardson
Created a design for a baby carriage that allowed it to be pushed AND pulled, and became the basis for most modern baby carriages.
>Joseph N. Jackson
Biorhythmic cycle indicators and personal fertility predictors for female use, and several influential designs for early remote controls.
>Henry T. Sampson
Co-created the gamma-electrical cell for use in nuclear reactors with George H. Miley. Also created several designs for solid-fuel rocket motor propellant binders.
>G.T. Sampson
Responsible for one of the earlier designs for automatic clothes dryers. Other designs used open flames, while his design used a specially-designed stove.
>Osbourn Dorsey
Actually did invent the doorknob, or, rather, the mechanical system attached to a doorknob that activated the latch. Also patented the most popular design for door stoppers.
>Blind Willie Johnson
One of the first revolutionary blues players, indirectly leading to rock & roll and modern music.

>Lewis Howard Latimer
Assisted Alexander Graham Bell in creating the telephone and Thomas Edison in creating light bulb designs.
>Garrett Morgan
Invented the hair-straightener cream used in many cosmetic products today. Also invented a type of black hair dye and a safe, efficient design for fire safety hoods that was then adapted in WWI for use in gas masks.
>George Franklin Grant
The first African-American professor at Harvard. Actually did invent the wooden golf tee.
>Robert Flemming Jr.
Invented the Euphonica Guitar, which acted as the inspiration for modern guitar designs.
>Lydia D. Newman
Invented a design of hairbrush that was easy to disassemble and clean.
>A.C. Richard
Invented the "Insect Destroyer Gun", which was used to shoot jets of water or pesticide at swarms or hives of insects.
>Sarah Boone
Created a more efficient design for the ironing board.
>John Albert Burr
Improved the design of the rotary blade mower so that its gears don't get clogged. These improvements are used in almost every lawn mower seen today.

Some of the invention are not very revolutionary, but others are quite important. In particular, Charles Drew was very important to the British war effort, and in storage and transfer of blood.

Yes you retard dark skinned, there were no blacks in prehistory until around 60,000 years ago. The humans we came from looked nothing like blacks since the San humans are the oldest humans on earth yet the only traits they have with blacks is their hair and their elongated skulls.

I won't argue about it, I'm sure they were, but based on a white american society and education. Black Africans have accomplished very little in their history. The greatest kingdoms in Africa aren't african heritage. They're based on muslim societies, and Egyptians just weren't black africans.

I think he was implying there is a stark difference between "Muslim culture" which was strictly an arab phenomenon in northern africa and "Black culture" which was located in south africa. Muslims did enslave blacks for a long time and even today view them as sub-human or at least an unwanted part of society

Where do you see country? I see classical music, but not country. Also, country isn't 100% white to begin with, Appalachian music was mixed. And that's not even beginning to mention the banjo.

>Hip hop

I didn't know funk and disco at the time were white people music. And it didn't begin exactly that way, free verse poetry, the dirty Dozens, and jazz all influenced early rap.

>Blues

So what? People enjoy grunge music for the same qualities, that shouldn't disqualify a music genre.

>Rock n roll

Still invented by black people, despite white people being very dominant. Ever wonder why you see mainly black people play basketball, despite it being inveted by whites and formerly dominated by Jews? Culture changes dude.

>>2025661
Don't forget noses and large asses. Also, the San are 20,000 years old as a culture. The Khoisan race is what you're talking about, as they existed before the Khoikhoi and San developed.

>>2025917
Black people are from East Africa, anon, West Africans only got their 12,000 years ago, along with some Sahel influence. The Khoisan race is also East African, but they moved out of Africa, came back only to get their shit kicked in and were sent to southern Africa where they flourished.
