Read this letter from trusted advisor to Pres. Nixon in 1970 about Black Americans

Lmao the patent office??? Bro black people weren’t even considered people back then, wtf was the patent office going to do? This is all just common sense and obviously you’re completely wrong. Prior to the 19th century, black people had essentially no rights or capital in any developed country, and Africa had no industry or infrastructure. So where were all of these black people inventing shit? Lmao.

The fact is back in those times the people that were innovating were mostly scientist and engineers affiliated with elite universities with tons of money behind them, and in those times that was almost exclusively wealthy white men, mostly Protestants.

You’re trying to have it both ways to make yourself feel better but obviously it’s just cope. Black people cant have been dominated and enslaved by white people for hundreds of years and also have been the people that happened to invent all the modern shit in those same white countries, that’s completely absurd. Obviously the people in the society that did the dominating were the ones that also made the technological advancements.
