Just thought I'd share this website. http://www33.brinkster.com/iiiii/inventions/

I thought it was a really interesting read. No, I'm not racist, but I do often find it odd that people are so hung up on some of the urban legends about black inventions. By the way, I am in no way saying that blacks haven't contributed greatly to society, I'm just sharing something I found interesting.

So, here's the question: Why do we credit these "inventors" for things that they didn't invent?

By the way, I have checked other sources and found nothing to contradict this.

I don't see anywhere on there where it says it was a KKK website. What I did was a search in Yahoo for "black inventor refrigerator."

The KKK might have linked to it or stolen the info to better further their rediculous cause, but that doesn't mean it was orginated by them.

Okay, so where do you people see on the page that I sent out where it says "KKK website?" There's no such thing printed there, nor do you find that if you look in the sub-directories.

Hmm... I think the simple solution would be to check the facts if you think the page is suspect. There are other websites one can go to to check into it. I'm doing that myself, right now, and haven't found any contradictions.

Why doesn't this site have a homepage?
Looks suspect to me but I could be wrong.

some are and a few are not. one can not make a blanket assertion approximately all women of any race. elegance is thoroughly subjective and in the attention of the beholder. lots of the people listed here are being very stereotypical, even people who're being complimentary. All black women don't have extensive noses or thick lips or an identical texture of hair or sparkling epidermis or massive butts or perhaps dark epidermis. just about all of black people are blended race however in the event that they don't seem to be to you - it rather is the rationalization why maximum black people do not appear as if Africans. i don't know what women people who've spoken on own hygiene are striking around yet possibly you ought to discover a greater effectual sort of folk to affiliate with.

I haven't found anything that proves your finding wrong. Truth is lost in the wash over the years.

That is interesting! I'm looking into it myself, because I don't believe it all either. I do think it's unfair people are calling you racist for it though.
