I love playing game and I only have ONE question for you today! If you can answer the following question, then you are super super smart!
Well, probably not that smart...But I can still give you a chance.
Okay, here goes the story and the question...and NO CHEATING!!!!
QUESTION: I woke up this morning and I was so bored that I actually decided to list all of the things that I have used within the last 24 hours. The list below are very random. However, they ALL have something in common. Can you guess what it is? I am pretty sure most of you have used these items, or at least heard of them. I hope.....
So, what are you waiting for?? GUESS ALREADY!!!!!
1. Ice cream scooper
2. Traffic Light
3. Stove
4. Clothes Dryer
5. Door Knob
6. Cellular phone
7. Guitar
8. Mail Box
9. Elevator
10. Hair Brush
11. Motor
12. Fire extinguisher
13. Folding Bed
14. Lawn Sprinkler
15. Tricycle
16. Motor
17. Automatic Gear Shift
18. Baby Buggy
19. Typewriter
20. Air Conditioning Unit
I bet you have already given up? It is okay, you are probably not alone in not being able to answer this question. Scroll down a little further for the answer.
ANSWER: ALL of the items listed above were invented by BLACKS. You know...Black people? Are you surprised?
Honestly,if someone asked you to describe who the inventor of these items....How would you have described their appearance?
Nevermind, you do not have the answer that question, because I already know.
FACT: I had to shorten this list of inventions (by blacks),because of the large amount and limited time that I have. It was impossible for me to list all of them. Unfortunately, people use these items, sometimes everyday, and do not understand the history behind it. And, if you are one to say that this is just black history....No, it is OUR history. Knowledge Is Power. Ignorance Breeds Racism And Hate.
"Study to shew thyself (yourself) approved unto God, a workman that needeth (need) not to be
ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth (2 Timothy 2:15)."
