how come all inventions eg:tv : the electric light bulb ect ect ect..men on mars are by white men?

Answer 1

"Clovis point" is perhaps one of the greatest inventions that allowed people to hunt, protect themselves, and become top predator -- non-White -- aboriginal New World.

Besides, what is white? Are Middle Eastern "white"? As in the greatest civilization around 2000 BC -- Ur, Iraq -- birth place of Abraham.

How about Egyptians in Africa, who in 1500BC, inhabited Thebes, invented civil government, written language, ercted the Pyramids.

Fast forward to 1000 BC -- Sidon (current Lebanon). You'll call them "Dark Whites Middle Easterners". I think they are just brown people. Sail boats to ply the seas. Trade. The pinnacle of society for that time.

Persepolis, Persia (yes, Iran) in 500 BC. Writting, art, pottery, architecture. Where were "Whites" then?

Now around the time of Christ, Rome was the center of the world. Oh, you killed Jesus Christ. Nice job. Okay white guys, you invented the aquaduct, orgies, and numerous instruments of death.

Fast forward to year 500. Changang, China was the center of progress. See any White folks here? Invented currency, massive irrigation canals, pottery, paper, civil service.

At 1000BC, Kaifeng China was the center of human kind. Gun powder, literature, arts, movable press, newspapers, etc. while Europe was in the "Dark Ages".

The next 1000 years would be the age of Europeans and the New World (you did introduce the germs that killed off 90% of Native Americans). Florence Italy at 1500AD was pretty advanced. Renaissance was a great period.

The 20th century was dominated by the United States (center of earth = New York City). Powered by immigrants from Europe, Asia and Africa.

But guess what in 2500 AD? Keep driving those pickup trucks and minivans and SUVs and keep thinking you are the only people creating intellectual property. Sheesh, have you seen who attends Harvard, Yale, Princeton, Stanford, MIT engineering or medical schools today? They don't look "white" to me. (But I will still do my best while I unclog the arteries of pear-shaped "white" folks).

Ok, if I sounded irritated. Please read the late Ashley Montagu's book written in the 1950's, "The Fallacy of Race". His thesis is that human beings are ONE race. To differentiate us by the color of our skin, the curliness of our hair, the folds of our eyelids, is arbritrary. We have more physical similaities than real differences. We create these artificial categories to differentiate "us" from "them", so that we can justify doing really bad things to "them". (Example -- My male kin go bald by age 30, so anyone not bald must be of the "hairy race". We baldies are better than those hairies). So read history. Read evolution. We are all brothers and sisters. One race, one species.

Answer 2

It does not have much to do with being male or "white". There are oodles of female inventors listed in the records of patent offices around the world and a lot of them are not "white". But most patented inventions do not amount to anything.

The difference is whether the society produces a good surplus or not. This depends on the resources available. If you will not starve because an invention fails then you can go ahead and invent. If you have to spend a lot of time making an invention work and do not have abundant resources, you and your family could starve as a result. So you do not invent. Necessity is not the mother of invention. Surplus is.

Another source of invention is good communications. If you hear vaguely of something being done a long way away you can develop something similar because it gives you the idea. That is why many inventions have come since the development of printing, railways and telegraphs.

You also have to have something to invent with. Australian aboriginals invented the aerofoil used in boomerangs but did not invent agriculture because there were no suitable native plants in Australia. They did not domesticate animals because there were no suitable animals to domesticate. But they had elaborate fish farms, very good baskets and fish traps along with a lot of other useful inventions.

In central and south America people knew about the wheel because they made wheeled toys. But they did not make wheeled carts because the only domesticated animals - the llamas and vicuna etc are unsuitable to draw carts. Someone probably tried it and found it killed the llamas or the llamas could not be made to pull the cart. So no go.

Mystery Inventors
We'll probably never know how many women inventors there were. That's because in the early years of the United States, a woman could not get a patent in her own name. A patent is considered a kind of property, and until the late 1800s laws forbade women in most states from owning property or entering into legal agreements in their own names. Instead, a woman's property would be in the name of her father or husband.

For example, many people believe that Sybilla Masters was the first American woman inventor. In 1712 she developed a new corn mill, but was denied a patent because she was a woman. Three years later the patent was filed successfully in her husband's name.

Answer 5

One system of invention led to another. White societies such as those of Western Civilization were very good at exploring and adapting, which led to new industries and ways of examining the world- microscopes and telescopes and societies devoted to exploration and invention, for example.

Another theory is that white people evolved in more demanding environments; the cold northern latitudes created a greater necessity than tropical climates, which leads to more efficient adaptation. And as long as you're breeding highly ambitious and adaptable survivors, you're going to have rivalries and warfare. Necessity breeds adaptation, and white people have become very, very good at warfare.

Let's not forget though, that that inventiveness is also one of the reasons why you're not dead of smallpox, polio or the bubonic plague, and your children have a very, very good chance of reaching adulthood with modern hospitals, grocery stores, and public education freely available to all.

And if it makes you feel better, not all inventions were by white men. The Bantu of South Africa invented a kind of carbon steel LONG before Europeans, though they didn't develop it beyond tools and spears. The Chinese invented paper (a VERY good invention) as well as gunpowder, though it was more of a novelty for them. They also invented paper money and the mechanical clock. Our modern numeral system comes from Arabia. (try doing algebra with Roman numerals!)

Answer 6

Because Americans have enough resources to accomplish these things. We as Americans live in a rich country where anything can be possible with money, creativity and intelligence unlike third world countries where their resources to succeed are very little

Answer 7

the black were exploited from the beginning. many of their inventions were credited by the white. like in the case of first human heart surgery

Answer 8

most of those where invented in times of segregation....and sadly it still goes on today.....

Answer 9

because we are clever
