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!!!!!

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)."
Even my little one is studying to play piano...Isn't he cute?
By the way, my Chihuahua is STILL smarter than you!
