You tell your ignorant friend to imagine this....\n\nRiding down the street of his air conditioned (which was created by an African American, Frederick Jones) car and someone runs the red light (which was also invented thanks to another African American, Garret Morgan) and hits him head on. He is rushed to the emergency room, where a blood transfusion is needed to save his life. Thanks to Dr. Charles Drew (an African American) your friends life has been saved.\n\nIn ONE day, your friend has encountered THREE inventions by African Americans and even one has saved his ignorant, racist a$$!!!!\n\nWhen he's eating a peanut butter sandwich while ironing his clothes. When he's brushing his hair in the morning. When he's cleaning his house with a mop, and mowing his lawn. When he decides to take the elevator instead of the stairs. When he buys his child a tricycle. When he needs to get laser eye surgery to have 20/20 without glasses and contacts. Remind him who invented these objects when he's using them!!!!\n\nDo me a favor and tell your friend he can thank African Americans for all the great inventions in America. And tell him to read a fucking book!!!!!!\n\nHERE ARE SOME INVENTIONS BY AFRICAN AMERICANS\n\nPatricia E. Bath was the inventor of the laser eye surgery technique now widely used.

"Thomas Edison tried and failed nearly 2000 times to develop the carbonized cotton thread filiment for the incandescent light bulb.  When asked about it, he said, 'I didn't fail. I found out 2000 ways how not to make a light bulb.'  But he only needed to find one way to make it work."\n\nFrom National Treasure
