    Wow, that was a huge load of BS.....who wrote all that? Black people worldwide have made lots of progress since white people colonized Africa. Things are slowly getting better in Africa, and blacks in the USA are doing well overall.

    Black people also have invented many things, including a little thing we all call SOCIETY. Black people were the first people on earth, that's a huge thing by itself.....I won't even bother debating all the other stuff, it's too ignorant and stupid to do so.

    well the i have a dream speech didn't last 400 years. maybe you heard the extended version i don't know.
    Well said youg_reezy.

    The fact remains that we were Willie Lynched for 400 years, we have been free for 100 years and we have had somewhat equal human rights for 50 years.
    this thread has inspired me to create one about the white devil in case we forget about who he is what he is and what his relation to us is.

    From Blueprint for Black Power (pp 602-604), which obtained their information from American Demographics (January, 1993) and other sources:

    “Blacks spend over 75% more than Whites on boys’ clothing.”
    “…money spent by Black households on boys’ clothing alone amounts to well above $1 billion.”
    “African Americans are estimated to spend more than $500 million per year on McDonald’s fast food.”
    “African Americans consume 32 percent of all malt liquor products and 20 percent of the scotch whiskey market”
    “African American males between the ages of 13 and 24, who are less than 3 percent of total U.S. population account for 10 percent of the $12 billion athletic shoe market, purchasing more than 1 out of 5 pairs of shoes made by Nike;”
    “African-American females, who equal approximately 6 percent of the total U.S population, purchase 15 percent of the $4 billion cosmetics industry, or $600 million and spend 26 percent more on perfume than any other group of females.”

    Yeah you should create that thread. All I know is that all MY life I have never, not once been a slave, nor have I not had options and a wide range of space to make choices. I've experiance racism from some ignorant white people, true. But there was a big period in my life I was more worried that some ? would take my life before anyone. I've experiance more hatered from people in my own community than anywhere.
    So I basicly came to the conclusion that SOME people will just not like ETHER! But a lot more will.
    Its unfortunate that people within your community hate themselves and have hatred towards you
    I wonder what type of factors contribute to self-hatred.
    I sincerely hope that the people that hated you didnt belong to a hate group, luckily we have Hate-crime laws for the haters.

    I once started a neverending interview, but now we're switching to a "Dear TAN" feature. Send your questions/letters to bnjbeatz [at] gmail [dot] com.

    In this edition: Hate Mail!

    Dear TANOREXIC'S,

    Just read you Google Blog Page of the same name as your EMAIL Address.

    Boy - did that ever open my eyes up, and confirm everything I ever though was true about the white race - but just wasn't completely sure

    IT CONFIRMED THE FOLLOWING FACTS FOR ME ----

    1. That after 2000 years of existence, the white race has accomplished absolutely ZERO. Europe still has sex with animals. And the current generation in America are still kissing dogs and sexing wildlife. All this while their real fore-fathers in Europe are living off the stolen wealth of other nations. I don't see a massive relief effort to save the white from the Sun. ? -Diana got knocked up by an Arab and if she wouldnt have got whacked by MI5 the heir to the throne would have been a sand-n-99er, another case of a dissatisfied white-woman chasing colored ? :( but the Tamahu is too busy worshiping HipHop culture, ? choir-boys, and Killing and Pillaging in foreign lands.

    2. By the way, the City that you consider your "Jewell of Europe" -- Paris -- In August and September of 1880, all of Paris was suffused by an odor so putrid, so nauseating and fetid, that it sparked immediate fears of an epidemic, unfounded rumors of deaths throughout the city, bold citizens’ protests, and the formation of a government commission including the renowned Louis Pasteur. The great stink of Paris and the nineteenth-century struggle against filth and germs is David S. Barnes’s analysis of a seemingly minor event in which the intersection of the scientific, the political, and the cultural led to a revolution in the understanding of l’infection — both the disgusting odor and its feared capacity to cause disease. Imagine a people so filthy and disgusting that they could use their own bodies as biological weapons to ? indigenous people. but the Toubob is too busy worshipping HipHop culture, ? choir-boys, and Killing and Pillaging in foreign lands.

    http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Stink

    3. Name me one REAL intelligent invention created by the white Man that didn't coincide with him having sex with animals or children? In order to raise the consciousness of our African brothers and sisters, we must understand and apply the Akan concept of Sankofa, which means that in order to move forward we first have to take a step back. In other words, before we can be prepared for the future, we must comprehend the past. Therefore, here is a partial list of just some of the thousands of past (and present) inventions, patents, improvements, discoveries, creations, and innovations by and pertaining to Africans in America and in Africa.

    But before we begin, we should understand certain key terms, such as “invention” and “patent.” An invention is a process, design, or product — including a substantive improvement thereof — that is not previously known or not previously existing by the exercise of independent investigation and experiment. A patent is a grant given by the federal government for such a process, design, or product — including a substantive improvement thereof — with that grant providing the exclusive right to make and sell the process, design, or product — including a substantive improvement thereof — for a term of years. Accordingly, patent holders (as are many of the Africans listed below) can legally be defined as actual “inventors.” The non-colored man has invented the Atomic bomb and made ? /? an industry.
    Attachment not found.
    It must be mentioned that although our ancestors have received credit for various inventions and patent ideas in America, we must realize that in many, if not most, cases, inventions and patent ideas were systematically stolen from us by those who enslaved and otherwise oppressed us from the 17th to mid-20th centuries and thereabouts.



    The tractor-trailer-trash cave-mutant has only given us these inventions.....

    --The ? -pump
    --Pig skin resemblance
    --Serial killers, spree-killers
    --Murders a Plenty
    --? children Plenty
    --Robbing countries a Plenty
    --? a Plenty
    --Sucking off the Government a Plenty
    --Useless satanic rock music that Poisons all Kids
    --An NHL no one watches or cares about anymore
    --Using your Race Card everytime you commit a crime
    --Not policing up your own filthy ? -trailers from trash and crime.
    --Talking like Animals. No one can understand your new Surfer/Skater Language
    --Acting Like Animals when you go overseas to colonize a Country
    --Sports Goof Marv Albert Sounds like a sex offender..oh he is
    --Ben Rothleisberger and Chris Benoit. Talk about Class-Less Animals
    --Rush Limbaugh Worthless
    --Sean Hannity Worthless
    --Glenn beck Worthless
    --Pope Benedict Worthless
    --Scott Peterson Worthless x 10
    --Chrystal Methamphetamine Dealers
    --Tricks/Johns
    --Children killing their parents and schoolmates
    --Streets full of molesters and perverts
    --Racism on your part against all other races, who actually want to just live
    --Homosexual Men at 20 times the rate of other Races
    --Destroyed and exploited countries worldwide
    --A Different Pagan Religion and Holiday -- Hell-O-Ween..dedicated to your father Lucifer

    4.) Millions of children have been molested. Most of them because your religious leaders are sick deviant ? homosexuals -- and they have no clue that Satan is their father. Ends up being excused by other high-ranking pedophiles. What's the chances your white women can close their legs to black men long enough to get you to leave the kiddies & puppies alone?/ My guess NEVER.

    5.) Barak Obama. A devout Muslim ran for President while we are fighting the Muslims in War. And whites World-Wide love him. Say what?? How friggin' stupid can you whites be supporting a Muslim when their main mission is to destroy the United States and Israel. That means they WILL chop your worthless heads off too!! Man you dudes are ignorant. Will you ever wake up from your 5000 year sleep?


    6.) You Europeon Americans have it better than ANY other whites on the planet. Especially the real Europeons (hint - not you). You come from Europeon caves. So why dont you call yourself Europeon-American? Why are you in trailer parks, and homeless if you are white? You spend 5$ a day on a budweiser and $10 a day on ? . When you gonna' help your fellow man in Albania? Until you do - I am sick of you even mentioning the word Europe. You can't fool anybody - you worthless, warmongering mutated pig-skinned reptiles.

    7. IN CLOSING -- It has become Crystal Clear to me now. When they talk about Leprosy in the bible they are talking about you - ? put a Curse AND a Mark on Lepors - and shipped them off to the cave's and hills of Northern Europe. The Curse was explained as the Mark of the Beast and also:

    --Then the priest shall consider: and behold, if the leprosy hath covered all his flesh, he shall pronounce him clean that hath the plague: it is all turned white: he is clean.

    --Leprosy was not explained until now. It is the WHITE RACE. What other race produces nothing but Killing and Murder. Makes nothing but disease in Society. Always steals what someone else has - by force. That is the EXACT description of Evil in the books of bible. and that is the EXACT description of the white Race.

    8. Thank you for opening my eyes!!

In fact, there were laws during a significant part of that period that barred our ancestors from filing lawsuits or testifying in court when they wanted to prove that their inventions and patent ideas had been stolen by whites.

    This partial list was compiled to begin re-igniting a sense of ability and excellence in the minds of Africans as well as to dispel self-hating myths that have caused many of us to believe that white people’s water is wetter than Black people’s water. And now, without further ado, here is our “We Did It-They Hid It” list with dates, patent numbers, and some commentary. Be proud about it and be loud about it; now that you have heard, you must spread the word!

(Refer below to the section captioned “Library.”)
    Baby Carriage — Safety Leveler William Richardson 6/18/1889 405,599
    This essential invention ended the constant and serious problem of babies falling out of carriages, most of which were inherently defective because they were built without a leveler to keep the carriage safely balanced.
    Bicycle Frame — Folding/Separating Version Isaac Johnson 10/10/1899 634,823
    Blimp (Air Ship) — Modern Version John Pickering 2/20/1900 643,975
    This blimp (i.e., air ship) was the first to be powered by an electric motor and to have directional controls.

    Computer — World’s Fastest Philip Emeagwali 1989
    Emeagwali is the world’s leading supercomputer expert. Also, he actually invented an international network system that predated the current internet. CNN called him “A father of the internet,” and President Bill Clinton described him as “one of the great minds of the information age.” He holds several undergraduate and graduate degrees and has an IQ so high that it cannot be measured on conventional tests. He is a prolific inventor, so far having submitted 41 inventions to the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office. One of those inventions makes oil fields so productive that it has saved the U.S. hundreds of millions of dollars each year. (Refer below to the section captioned “Weather Forecasting.”)

    Curtain Rod Samuel Scottron 8/30/1892 481,720
    Dry Cleaning Process Thomas Jennings 3/3/1821 3306X
    Jennings is the first African to receive a U.S. patent. After earning money from his patent, he used those funds to buy his enslaved family’s freedom and to support the abolition movement. Also, in 1831, he served as the Assistant Secretary for the First Annual Convention of The People of Color (which, by the way, was held in Philadelphia).

    Elevator — Automatic Electric Shaft Closing Alexander Miles 10/11/1887 371,207
    This invention has saved hundreds of thousands of lives by drastically improving upon pre-existing and quite dangerous ascending/descending contraptions. Those contraptions (i.e., primitive elevators), when stopped on a floor other than that desired by a passenger, required that passenger to manually shut a door to cut off access to the shaft, which often caused that passenger to fall into that deep shaft.
    Fire Escape — Portable Daniel McCree 11/11/1890 440,322
    Fire Extinguisher Improvement Thomas Martin 3/26/1872 125,063

    Gas Mask Garrett Morgan 10/13/14 1,113,675
    Golf Tee Dr. George Grant 12/12/1899 638,920
    Prior to this invention by Dr. Grant (who, by the way, graduated from and later taught at Harvard Dental School), golfers had to use their hands to make a mound of sand and then place the ball on top of that mound. Despite his innovative genius that greatly benefited golfers worldwide, he was barred — and still would be barred — from many country clubs because of his race.
    Heart (Open Heart) Surgery Dr. Daniel Hale Williams 7/9/1893
    Dr. Williams performed this miraculous feat by removing a knife from the heart of a stabbing victim, after which he sutured the wound and the patient recovered. He also founded the Provident Hospital and Medical Center in Chicago, IL, which is the oldest free standing Black-owned hospital in the country.
    Heating Furnace — Ventilation System Alice Parker 12/19/19 1,325,905
    This invention provided a mechanism for routing heat to various rooms throughout a building.
    Ice Cream — Method and Recipes Augustus Jackson 1832
    Jackson, a Philadelphian and a former White House chef, uniquely used ice mixed with salt to lower and control the temperature of his special mix of ingredients, which proved to be a major breakthrough in the creation of ice cream as we know it today. He also created various ice cream flavors. However, he never applied for a patent.
    Ice Cream Scooper — Spring Loaded Alfred Cralle 2/2/1897 576,395
    Ironing Board — Improvement Sarah Boone 4/26/1892 473,653
    This invention, which was a narrowed, curved, and reversible appliance, made it possible for the first time in history to easily and efficiently press and crease parts of clothing like sleeves and types of clothing like uniquely tailored women’s garments.

    Light Bulb — Electric Lamp Improvement Lewis Latimer 9/13/1881 247,097
    Latimer, the son of parents who had escaped slavery, was an inventor, draftsman, engineer, and scientist, as well as an author, poet, musician, and philanthropist. It is a little known fact that he was the person who actually drew the blueprints for Alexander Graham Bell’s telephone in 1878. Three years later, in 1881, he and assistant Joseph Nichols were the first persons to receive a patent for the direct forerunner to today’s commonly used light bulb. Prior to this, the electric lamp by Thomas Edison and others had no real practical use because it could not emit light for an extended period. But the new light bulb by Latimer (with assistant Nichols) used a revolutionary method of manufacturing carbon filaments that produced light for effectively extended periods. It was because of this ingenious invention that Latimer was asked by numerous countries, states, and cities — including Philadelphia — to write an instruction manual (which he did in 1890) and to supervise the installation of incandescent light plants. In addition, it is quite interesting that he was the original draftsman for Edison (inventor of the 1879 temporary electric lamp) who relied on Latimer as the expert witness in Edison’s patent infringement suit.
    Lock — Modern Washington Martin 7/23/1889 407,738
    The innovative lock invented by Martin is precisely what made today’s locks possible. It creatively included a cylinder and spiral spring coiled around a metal pin, thereby frustrating thieves and burglars throughout the country.
    Mail Box Phillip Downing 10/27/1891 462,093
    This invention is also known as a letter box and a letter drop.
    Overnight Delivery Package Receptacle Folarin Sosan 1997
    Sosan, through his Package Park (Maita) company, made it possible for overnight and next day package delivery providers such as Federal Express, United Parcel Service, and the U.S. Postal Service (as well as other major and small businesses) to have all of their deliveries immediately received by customers and then accurately tracked by computer.

    These suspenders, called “trouser supports and stretchers,” included practical and stylish features such as metal clasps.
    Pencil Sharpener John Love 11/23/1897 594,114
    (The) “Real McCoy” Elijah McCoy 4/2/1843 Born
    The term “The Real McCoy” is used to describe anything that is of excellent quality. People began using that term about 130 years ago in honor of one of the most talented and skillful inventors in American history, a man with more than 50 patents beginning in 1872. (Although his year of birth is often listed as 1843, it might be 1844. The exact year is unknown because his records, like the records of most Africans during that period, were often inaccurate because of the indifference of slave-holding and other racist whites.)
    Refrigeration Transport System Frederick Jones 7/12/49 2,303,857
    Although he patented it in 1949, he actually invented it in 1935.
    Security System — Home Marie Brown 12/2/69 3,482,037
    This home protection system was the first to include television and video surveillance.
    Statue of Liberty — A Black Female 1875
    French historian Edourd de Laboulaye, who was the chairman of the French Anti-Slavery Society, proposed to the French government that the people of France present to the people of United States, through the American Abolitionist Society, the gift of a Statue of Liberty (with construction beginning in 1875) in recognition of the abolition of American slavery and also therefore obviously in recognition of the major role played by the approximately 150,000 Black soldiers who helped abolish slavery by winning the Civil War. When the statue, sculpted by de Laboulaye’s close friend and fellow French Anti-Slavery Society member Frederic Auguste Bartholdi, was presented in 1884 to a U.S. official, its color was black and it had broken chains at the feet and left hand of the female-modeled sculpture. Later, the hand chain was removed. It must be noted that the original design of this statue was for a lighthouse project in Egypt (meaning Kemet) and it featured an Egyptian (meaning Kemetic) female with broken chains of slavery at her feet.

    Toilet — Modern Bathroom Features Thomas Elkins 1/9/1872 122,518
    This invention, which was called a “chamber commode,” featured all of today’s creature comforts such as a toilet stool, wash stand, mirror, bureau, and book rack.
    Traffic Signal Garrett Morgan 11/20/23 1,475,024
    After he saw a crash between a car and a horse-drawn carriage, Morgan decided that is was absolutely essential for him to invent some type of traffic safety device. As a result, he was the first person to apply for and receive a patent for an inexpensive “hand-cranked semaphore traffic management” mechanism that would control vehicular and pedestrian traffic, thereby protecting humans from injury and even death and protecting cars from damage. This led directly to today’s red, yellow, and green light signals. General Electric bought his patent for $40,000 and in 1963 the U.S. government awarded Morgan a citation for his invention that has saved millions of lives and body parts and has avoided billions in property damage. (He also had this invention patented in Britain and Canada.)
    Trolley — Electric Railway Elbert Robinson 9/19/1893 505,370
    Robinson creatively used electricity in overhead wires to propel passenger-carrying vehicles.
    Typewriter — Improvement Lee Burridge (& Newman Marshman) 4/7/1885 315,366
    Unlike previous bulky and exclusively upper case “letter-writing machines” that were described as a cross between “a small piano and a kitchen table” and that blocked the user from being able to see what he was typing as he was typing, the novel invention by Burridge and Marshman was quite practical. It printed both upper and lower case letters, was a much smaller device, and allowed the user to see what he was typing as he was typing. Also, it required fewer parts and movements to operate and allowed for the use of any paper length.
    Watch — U.S. (Refer Above To Clock) Benjamin Banneker 2/6/1753
    Benjamin’s grandmother (who was an English indentured servant) married an indigenous African whose name was “Banna Ka.” Later, white people began calling him “Bannaky” and thereafter started spelling his name “Banneker.” Benjamin’s invention was not really a clock but instead was an ingenious wooden pocket watch. In addition to his status as an inventor, municipal surveyor, almanac author, mathematician, scientist, mechanical engineer, and astronomer, he also was a vocal anti-abolitionist who on August 19, 1791 petitioned slaveholder Thomas Jefferson to end the “absurd and false ideas” of white supremacy.

    Wrench — Updated Jack Johnson 4/18/22 1,413,121
    This is the very same Jack Johnson who became the world’s first Black heavyweight champ by winning “The Heavyweight Championship of The World” in 1908 and who had won “The Colored Heavyweight Championship of The World” in 1903. His updated wrench was a tool designed specifically to tighten or loosen fastening devices. This wrench was important not only because of its practical use and not only because of the person who conceived it, but also because it was invented while he was in Leavenworth Prison on trumped up racist charges involving a 1912 alleged violation of the Mann Act stemming from his out-of-state trips with his white girlfriend. (The Mann Act made it illegal to cross state lines to engage in “immoral activity” with white women.) It should be noted that in addition to his wrench invention, Johnson also received a patent (number 1,438,709) for a car theft protection device on December 12, 1922.

    The First
    The original and correct name of Africa is Alkebulan. Africans (Alkebulanians) were the first humans on this planet 200,000 years ago. They were in East Africa/Alkebulan in the Nile Valley region. It was not until 170,000 years later — which was only 30,000 ago — that the first white person came into existence in the Caucasus Mountain area.
    Africans (Alkebulanians) created the first language in the West African/Alkebulan country now called Ghana. That language is Twi and Khui.
    Air Conditioning Concept 3000 BC
    The Egyptians (who are correctly called the Kemites) poured water in shallow clay trays that were placed on beds of straw. This was done at night so that, during the natural evening temperature drop, evaporation would cause a cooling effect in the rooms where the trays were located.
    Amen 2500 BC
    This word, which Christians now use at the end of their prayers, was originally spelled Amun and it means "the hidden one." It was the last name of the highest Egyptian (Kemetic) deity. In fact, around 1360 BC, the Egyptian (Kemetic) ruler Seti The Great was worshipped as the ? Amun. The Hebrews later adopted the word, changed its meaning, and then passed it on to the Christians.
    Christ
    It must be noted that the word Christ is not derived from Europe. The word actually comes from the pharaonic Egyptian (Kemetic) expression "kher sesheta," which means "he who watches over the mysteries." It was not until after 300 AD that Christians finally started referring to Jesus as Christ.

    Also, the Bible makes it absolutely clear that Jesus did not have the complexion of a white man but instead had the complexion of a dark man. Revelations 2:18 mentions “feet... like fine brass” (which is a brownish color) and Daniel 7:9 mentions “hair... like pure wool” (which is locks or an Afro).
    Geometry Tacokoma 1500 BC (circa)
    Tacokoma, like Tishome who invented calculus and Ahmes who invented algebra, was a brilliant Egyptian (Kemetic) mathematician.
    Handshake 2800 BC

    This contact between two persons signified the conferring of power from a ? to an earthly Egyptian (Kemetic) ruler. As a matter of fact, in the so-called hieroglyphic (correctly called medu netcher) picture writings, the verb "to give" is drawn as an extended hand. This is where the European named Michelangelo got his idea for the Sistine Chapel drawing.
    Toothbrush 3000 BC
    In order to clean and strengthen their teeth, the Egyptians (Kemites) used a chew stick, which was a pencil-sized twig with one end frayed to a soft, fibrous condition.
    Toothpaste 2000 BC
    The Egyptians (Kemites) made toothpaste from powdered pumice stone and strong wine vinegar that they brushed onto a chew stick. This was much different from the early Roman toothpaste that was made from human ? (!), which the Romans also used as a mouth wash. In fact, Roman physicians around 100 AD claimed that brushing with ? whitened teeth and fixed them more firmly in the sockets. And wealthy Roman women paid dearly for foreign ? , especially Portuguese ? .
    Wedding Ring 2800 BC
    To the Egyptians (Kemites), a circle, which has no beginning and no end, signified eternity, just as marriage signifies an eternal bond.
    To My African Brothers and Sisters:

    Before ending this version of the “We Did It-They Hid It” list (which is a condensed work in progress), I must give a major “shout out” to Henry E. Baker, one of the first Black Patent Examiners in the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office and a Harvard Law School graduate. He was an Assistant Patent Examiner who dedicated his career to uncovering and publishing the contributions of Black inventors. We know much of what we know about Black inventors in America because of his detailed and relentless work as shown in his four large volumes of patent drawings of inventions by Blacks and because of his book entitled The Black Inventor. Apart from that, bibliographical information about any of the material in this “We Did It-They Hid It” list is available upon request.

    Yeah you should create that thread. All I know is that all MY life I have never, not once been a slave, nor have I not had options and a wide range of space to make choices. I've experiance racism from some ignorant white people, true. But there was a big period in my life I was more worried that some ? would take my life before anyone. I've experiance more hatered from people in my own community than anywhere.
    So I basicly came to the conclusion that SOME people will just not like ETHER! But a lot more will.

    your a self hating ?
