Posted By: Mister O The Hip Hop Teacher on January 26, 2017 Check out Black Inventions and find out how so many things that we use today and take for granted was created by African Americans. Spoken Word Poet Kamal brings the knowledge with the poetic flow. Spoken Word Lyrics: You could call me on my cell phone An If you do your research it aint hard to tell That a Black Man Henry T Sampson invented the gamma electric cell And Shirly Ann Jackson PHD, made the caller ID, Call Waiting and the touch tone phone. The Black Inventor Gerald A Lawson Rocks, he invented the console for the Wii, playstation and X box. We rock, glasses at the movies, Marc Hannah made it easy for us to see flicks in 3D! Putting that butter on popcorn, don’t forget your favorite dip. As we give thanks to George Crum, for making those delicious potato chips. And to make sure your snacks don’t start decaying, Frederick M Jones invented mobile refrigeration. Now I’m all the way up, tell this to the haterz A black man, Alexander Miles made the modern elevator! Jay Z, 50, Weezy, Meek Millz, Rick Ross, Nikki, Drake who’s the best? Give props for the makers of the mic Gerhard Sessler and James West! In Jordans, Ewings, Timbs, Gators we wanna be seen Made easily with Marzeligers shoe lasting machine ***THE CREATIVE MIND IS IN YOUR DNA, LET’S GIVE IT UP FOR THE BLACK INVENTORS TODAY! We got Percy L Julian – scientist, known as the forgotten genius He invented the “process of synthesis”. His work led to birth control and cortisone improvements. Most of us don’t like needles, but we give thanks To Charles Drew who created the blood banks Patricia Baths a sister you must know She made the laserphaco, a laser cataract probe We got Phillip Downing with the mailbox George Washington Carver Here’s a few things he made with the peanut: Flour, soap, skin lotion, shaving cream, paper, wall board, woodstain and much more nah mean? And when the trains weren’t running on the track smooth and clean, Elijah, the Real McCoy made the railroad lubricating machine. We made the cardiopad and the spectrograph, the traffic light and the gas mask When you really think of it, it will make you shake and shiver Just how much your infinite mind can deliver We could go on like the upward flow of the Nile River Just don’t forget those NASA sisters from Hidden Figures! And they’re not alone So let’s talk black facts, when you call me on the cell phone! If you enjoyed this article, Join HBCU CONNECT today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

Mr. Kamal, With all due respect I am tired and frustrated with you constantly reminding us of how great we are, but we are still an oppressed people for the past 500 years. Instead of posting these sad sobbing stories, be proactive and post what you believe is Black America’s only permanent solution! I say that Black America’s only permanent solution is that we must desire and have the intelligence to see sovereignty in our own country is our only permanent solution. Such a solution only God can bring it about! Now please, stop been us stupid and ignorant man and tell us how to resolve our problems of oppression. The solution to the movie, “Hidden Figures” is that if we had our own country those sisters would have made it possible for us Black Americans to beat the Russians and White America, you dumb ass. Ripping the bathroom sign off-the-wall that said no colored people allowed was not the solution. The solution is that we must have a country of our own and that is going to happen on my watch.
