LIFE WITHOUT BLACK PEOPLE
A very humorous and revealing story is told about a group of white people who were fed up with African Americans, so they joined together and wished themselves away. They passed through a deep dark tunnel and emerged in sort of a twilight zone where there is an America without black people.
At first these white people breathed a sigh of relief. At last, they said, "No more crime, drugs, violence and welfare. All of the blacks have gone!"
Then suddenly, reality set in. The "NEW AMERICA" is not America at all — only a barren land.
1. There are very few crops that have flourished because the nation was built on a slave-supported system.
2. There are no cities with tall skyscrapers because Alexander Mils, a black man, invented the elevator, and without it, one finds great difficulty reaching higher floors.
3. There are few if any cars because Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gearshift, Joseph Gambol, also black, invented the Super Charge System for Internal Combustion Engines, and Garrett A. Morgan, a black man, invented the traffic signals.
4. Furthermore, one could not use the rapid transit system because its procurer was the electric trolley, which was invented by another black man, Albert R. Robinson.
5. Even if there were streets on which cars and a rapid transit system could operate, they were cluttered with paper because an African American, Charles Brooks, invented the street sweeper.
6. There were few if any newspapers, magazines and books because John Love invented the pencil sharpener, William Purveys invented the fountain pen, and Lee Barrage invented the Type Writing Machine and W. A. Love invented the Advanced Printing Press. They were all, you guessed it, Black.
7. Even if Americans could write their letters, articles and books, they would not have been transported by mail because William Barry invented the Postmarking and Canceling Machine, William Purveys invented the Hand Stamp and Philip Downing invented the Letter Drop.
8. The lawns were brown and wilted because Joseph Smith invented the Lawn Sprinkler and John Burr the Lawn Mower.
9. When they entered their homes, they found them to be poorly ventilated and poorly heated. You see, Frederick Jones invented the Air Conditioner and Alice Parker the Heating Furnace. Their homes were also dim. But of course, Lewis Later invented the Electric Lamp, Michael Harvey invented the lantern and Granville T. Woods invented the Automatic Cut off Switch. Their homes were also filthy because Thomas W. Steward invented the Mop and Lloyd P. Ray the Dust Pan.
10. Their children met them at the door-barefooted, shabby, motley and unkempt. But what could one expect? Jan E. Matzelinger invented the Shoe Lasting Machine, Walter Sammons invented the Comb, Sarah Boone invented the Ironing Board and George T. Samon invented the Clothes Dryer.
11. Finally, they were resigned to at least have dinner amidst all of this turmoil. But here again, the food had spoiled because another Black Man, John Standard invented the refrigerator.
Now, isn't that something? What would this country be like without the contributions of Blacks, as African-Americans?
Martin Luther King, Jr. said, "by the time we leave for work, Americans have depended on the inventions from the minds of Blacks." Black history includes more than just slavery, Frederick Douglass, Martin Luther King, Jr., Malcolm X, and Marcus Garvey and W.E.B. Dubois.

The drugs, violence and welfare comment was asinine, but the second one is not because they would have been invented regardless. Just like if there was no white people, the inventions that were concieved them would have been invented in due time.
I can't imagine the public would go too long without traffic lights or air conditioners. Someone would have invented them.

if thomas Edison wasn't born, 1/2 of those black inventions that were made wouldn't exist..so what's the point?
i can take out one white person, and it wipes out 7-8 black inventors
if i throw in Nicolaus Otto, the inventor of the gas engine, it wipes out another 4-5 black inventors
the title of this thread is dumb, it would have been far more interesting as an informant article than a piece on racism

Fuckin niggers...

How is that a dumb ass comment, does it cut to close to the truth?
Y'all need to stop trvializing black people like theyre a highlight in a history presentation.
America would have developed without them, of course it would be different but no shit. This entire post is a cheap ride on black folks dick while at the same time marginalizing them. Wouldn't you be outraged if someone patted you on the back and told you you're great grandfather invented peanut butter that's why you should be validated as a human being? fuck that, you need to know when you're appreciating someone and when youre patronizing them.

^^ word...
but seriously.. did someone 'invent' the mop? you'd think a lot of people would have come up with that one independently...
nice info in there though :)
-
If it's an article against racism then it's a cool one, it's a good read. But if it's something racist itself, then fuck it. I got no problems with Blacks, so i got no problems admitting they invented this shit. But please, dont make it a competition Whites vs Blacks.. it's 2005!

a single person invented the paper clip, and look how simple but useful invention that was.
Its true, like someone else said...this country would have developed with or without black people. It just would have developed a lot slower.
