Whenever someone says this, just ask them who invented the light bulb. They’ll either stfu, say Edison stole it from another white guy, or be forced to somehow make the argument that Edison patrolled all plantations and found a scientist among the slaves who couldn’t read or write. Then they’ll stfu.

They didn’t build America anymore than a delivery guy making minimum wage built Papa John’s. They tore them both down, though.

Many of them are currently being taught in schools that a black guy invented the light bulb, and Edison stole it from him. Facts and real history don't change their minds.

Give it time and they'll claim the airplane, radio, automobile, etc. as well.

Tell me you haven't seen an Afrocentrist Facebook group without telling me you haven't seen an Afrocentrist Facebook group.

They claim that Edison stole the idea from Lewis Howard Latimer at worst. At best, they say Edison's invention was shite and that Latimer was the only reason for its success.

Afrocentrists claim to be the world's first:
Vikings
Irish and Scottish
Egyptians
Chinese
Samurai
Native Americans

Basically anyone but Sub-Saharans.

I encourage you all to take a look at the numerous pages on Facebook. These idiots are creating very angry people who now believe that yt stole everything, preventing them from learning their real history.

They also claim to have taught the Whyte cave dwellers to bathe and cook food.
