What are someContributions or inventions that African Americans, Native Americans, Mexicans, and Chinese......

Question

have given to America to make America what it is today?

Answer 1

Lets see, off the top of my head...The product of African Americans forced labor contributed greatly to this countries wealth. In modern times, they contribute in all fields. (My own daughter's life saving doctor was the youngest person in the US to become a neurosurgeon and she's black).
Native Americans: Medicines, lots of cultural stuff, (spiritual oneness with the land, etc.), personally, my Cherokee friend helps me in a million ways.
Mexicans: Without them we'd half starve! Very admirable work ethics, great artists and musicians, strong families. ( I think of them as a blend of Native Americans and Spanish, so the above applies to them, too.)
Chinese: Acupuncture, medicines,built our railroads! Great philosophers, (Confusious, Lao Tsu), All areas, really.

Answer 2

Honey, you really need to read some books. Good question. Well believe it or not but civilization came from Egypt( Africa) African symbols are all around, the phallic symbol in washiington, even the cross is a modern version of the most ancient symbol origination in Africa, the Ankt. I would suggest that you read " THE POWER OF MYTH" by Joseph Campbell. It is very ignorant to believe that whites invented everything, because if you just open your eyes, you'd see that western civilization is a boiling pot of elements taken from different cultures. America is what it is today because of the contribution of non-whites( blacks, asians etc...) Blacks have done more than you'd probably believe, but the world is programmed with a negative image of blacks and their contributions. I respect your opinion longhairb....but you really need to read more, because blacks have not just started contributing to society in modern times...this country was built and is 400 years deep in slave money. Civilization comes from AFRICA dear, scientist do not dispute this. The first people on this earth were black. Proven fact babe.

Answer 3

The Pullman train and all its improvements, (1) sleeper cars - (2) Chanel-ed Wheels - (3) The train hook clamp.
The first street light (the original traffic controller had an arm that went up and down), check US patten. The traffic light is the red - yellow - green system you know today.
The cotton mill - prior to the cotton mill, cotton seeds were extracted by hand from the cotton balls.
The list is really long, I recommend that the ask-er take a trip to the history museum.
