(Some) Blacks are once again trying to take credit for white inventions. Here are a few lie's that have been told.

1. Traffic Signal/Garrett Morgan 1923 WRONG!
Invented in London in 1868 by JP Knight
2. Peanut Butter/George Washigton Carver WRONG again! Peants are native to the world and have been mashed into paste by the Aztecs. "Peanut Butter comes from the US patent#306727 issued to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Quebec Canada
The Blood Bank/ Charles Drew 1940, WRONG!!
It was Dr. Oswald H Robertson US Army during WW 1
Air Brakes/Granville Woods 1922...WRONG again!
George Westinghouse in 1869 US Patent#88929

Not one single example of a black invention...only two that were improvements NOT the invention.

The list goes on and on of these extreme exgaggerations. White men invented nearly everything we use, medical, mechanical, math & science. It angers me that they are trying to steal from our culture to boost their own. A people who high-tech in their native land is fire

I don't know if anyone has read or watched this story but I am appalled!!! With all of the atrocities that young american teens are committing I have to ask what is going wrong with parenting these days? Why are children acting in such an amoral fashion?

The coin that I have is in better condition than the picture. I was wondering if you can get anything for the coin or should I wait a couple years.

Why do we spend our lives struggling? Isn't life about living and happiness? I struggle to succeed and in success brings happiness. So I guess happiness and struggle go hand in hand. We all must risk something to get where we want to be. In the end, is it worth all the years of stress and anxiety? I live my life with never-ending optomism. I think that everyone cares about one another, even though the things I see would suggest otherwise. I think we are in this world to get along and be happy, even though the turmoil leads me to believe we are all in it for ourselves. People need to relize that we are all human and must work together. As the earth grows smaller and smaller, we must see this as our means of survival.

I was watching a programme today that said that a lady married the son of Osama Bin Laden (he doesn't believe that what his father does it right and has not seen his father for years)!!!! What I'm trying to get at is...does the sins of the father really matter. If a person's direct family member was a criminal would it bother you, or would you end it ??

Me - I'd have to say when cars don't stop at zebra crossings. It drives me mad! I nearly saw a car hit a pushchair today.

Also when you have a day when your skin itches and tickles non-stop and your clothes don't feel right and you embarrass yourself all the time.

And when your girlfriend hassles you to get ready to go out then when you are ready she still has to change her clothes, straighten her hair, and put her make-up on.

When this gang flattened my front wall they told me they were encouraging social cohesion by breaking down barriers. Can't argue with that.

What advice would you give a 15 year old? What to do and what not to do, about anything. School, work, life, etc. I'm 15 and I want to know what you have to say.

i'm sick of having to be "one or the other" just so that other people will understand. you must be gay or straight, is one i encounter the most, why? why cant it be accepted that sometimes i feel things and experience emotions i cant explain, but i dont want to have to ignore them, i act on them. im sick of people saying to me - you must be gay, you kissed a guy, two girls can kiss each other, and people dont think they are gay, its so double standard. why cant people just accept sometimes people do stuff just because they feel like it!
