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.

Lol, I'm really adding a lot of details here. Yes! We'll definitely give them jazz and blues, among countless other things! And don't forget beautiful women :)
