  1. Not suprising to me. There is a term for these types of people called Renaissance Men after the likes of Leonardo Da Vinci who made similar significant contributions.

  2. He did a lot but his army career was mostly limited to real-echelon mechanical work. Not a place you can really go above and beyond the call of duty.

  3.  @majorcynic  Well the Medal of Honor is only for active combat personnel he would be a civilian and thus ineligible.

  4. Yes we were. That is why it was divided between North and South. Korea was Japanese-occupied territory at the time and the Soviets started invading the region in the final months taking most of Northern Korea from the Japanese before they surrendered. After the war it was agreed we would let the Soviets occupy everything north of the 38th parallel and the US would take everything south of that and we would help them build new soverign governments now that they were free from the Japanese yoke.

  5. His argument is that they shouldn't credit inventions by non-blacks to blacks and instead point to actual black inventions or inventors. This is not the only time this has happened as he mentioned a Buzzfeed video that also credited multiple things to black inventors when only one of them was accurate. The others were incorrect.

  6. That is suprising for a guy who died in 1790. And the point was he invented a mobile method of refrigeration.

  7. I don't think I would be able to live without refrigerated trucks. Society would collapse.

  8. Yes. I just checked Wikipedia and there is a thing called Serbian Fried Chicken. Serbia wasn't a place where you would black G.I.s.

  9. That actually sounds racist. Remember when there was a big controversy over someone giving Tiger Woods fried chicken?

  10. I think we should point out he invented the concept of crop rotation.

  11. Egypt is North African which is a recognized sub-region of Africa. You are putting forward the stereotype Africa is all the same which is far from true. It is only in Asia because of a tiny peninsula on the other side of the Suez Canal. It is as Asian as Turkey is European.

  12. Someone doesn't their WWII history that well. Korea was Japanese Occupied Territory since 1910 though it was a Japanese puppet since 1897. All Japanese territories they conquered through force were taken from them by the Allies after the war and the United States military arrived on September 8th, 1945 to occupy all of Korea south of the 38th Parallel since the Soviets who invaded Manchuria in the final months of the war controlled everything north of that. We remained there until 1948 when South Korea had its first UN-supervised elections and became autonomous. That was around the time of the Army began intergration.

  13. Basically every invention more complex than the wheel is a combination of more than one invention.

  14. And is it still racist to mention Black People in the same breath as Fried Chicken? I knew it was for a long time racist to mention that or give a black person fired chicken.

  15. No he is partially right about that. Before and during World War II Korea was Japanese occupied territory which they had to give up control over when they surrendered. Korea than became a joint military occupation zone between the US and Soviets until we established new governments in the region. We left in 1948 and had to come back when the North invaded the South.

  16. Korea was Japanese-occupied territory at the time of WWII so they weren't going to keep it when they surrendered. The majority of Axis territory was subject to Allied occupation after the war ended to build new stable governments for the people.

  17. 1/3 ain’t bad.
