well, the fact is that edison actually invented the light bulb, even if latimer offered a technical improvement to it. what biden is referring to is a pseudo-science called afrocentrism that makes all kinds of outlandish, and easily debunked, claims about the primacy of blackness to civilization.

but, what i want to actually know is this:

who fucking cares what the skin colour of the person that invented the light bulb was?

it's not a question of "rewriting history".

this is a completely irrelevant, absolutely inconsequential question.

it does not matter if the inventor of the light bulb was white, brown, black, yellow....or orange. the orange used to be the silly colour, 'cause nobody was orange. alas.

what matters is that we need to phase lightbulbs out, because they're contributing to the destruction of the planet.
