  1. I will watch the entire video later, but the first story is an unfortunate thing that happens at times: Semantical debates. Words that some people use to describe that which is to be the same but different to another. If someone is given a patent, its an new idea or a improvement to something. If a person has been given a patent, john and jane doe will say he invented something. Semantics. It really means, he invented something or improved something. I will watch the rest of teh video soon, but history has shown that there are many important patents created by african americans that havent been given their proper respect had another culture made it, been given. Walter Lincoln Hawkins, Clyde Bethea, Percy julian and others (if you have posted about them, I will edit this later), except for julian all worked for "The" bell labs. Its more a discussion about additions to society, than the thoughtless omission in many minds that it couldnt happened. ** followup** Saw the rest of your video and we are in disagreement, mainly: #2 - Benjamin bannaeker. You havent disproved anything.You just have a feeling that something is exxagerated. Thats the same as saying that he did it, but Im just not sure he did it all himself. You need folks to believe that you are an authority to get away with this. You only stated that he likely didnt "build" americans first clock. Im not drinking the koolaid. YOU,are debunked. #3 - Alexander miles "DID" invent the first "ELEVATOR" self closing doors. The other guy, invented closing hatchways. dont semantic me here either. YOU,are debunked. #4 - You gave edison first, credit for "inventing" an improvement, first successful commercial lightbulb, then dont give the same etiquette to lattimore. Its not overstated to commercialize the invention that Edison has a major role in. How can you commercialize something if you can only make them one by one by hand. Lattimore properly gets respect for figuring out how to mass produce and commercialize the end result. Biased? YOU,are debunked. #5 - Alexander specifically stated on his patent that he was making something for elevators. You tried to disprove it by saying that something made for gates was the same. Heres something that looks like a folding chair from nordic times, is disputed for something that looks like more like what we expect it to be. You "Are" biased. YOU,are debunked. #7 - Semantics. Both of you are missing the point, and the lock as stated "IS" most definitely in use today, expressly for the concerns that created its need. Locks, latches, the lockpicking lawyer. There are variations of the theme that fits needs all over. He is still qualified as the invention that he got a patent on. You are confusing a lock with its needed tumbler mechanism. Ever try to keep a door locked with only the part that you put the key in. See what just happened. You need both to keep a door locked.So both can be considered locks. YOU,are debunked. #8 - Improving the invention gets you a patent and a patent sometimes says that something was its first. Semantics. Frederick McKinley Jones however put refrigeration on trains and trucks "FIRST". So the facts actually goes to another black person. YOU,are debunked. #9 - Modern toilet. Yeah, the patent actually says that its an improvement to the commode. Semantics again, but its not the toilet. U got this one mainly corect. #10 - Mop. An improvement still qualifies an an invention. #11 - Portable pencil sharpner? Sure are a lot of inventions here that arent disputed as to if they are actual inventions or not. Another of teh masses that are likely not needed as much today. I gotta agree with you as to why and where the idea it was portable came from. #12 - Potato chips. Credit must be given to Mr crumb for his contribution. The example that you posted specify says that the slices are to be 1/4 inch thick. This is most not a chip. How many times are inventions about time and place? He was in the right place and time and that social celebrity, has made him its inventor. YOU,are 4/5 of the way debunked. #13 - Thanks for seeing it the way I also saw it. Missing the major invention that still has ramifications today. We are on the same page here. #14 - Traffic light. He invented the three way traffic light. Since cupcakes, croissants, wedding cakes and gluten can all be traced to the industrialization of wheat, its proper to give credit for the three way traffic signal to Morris. His beginning evolved into what we see today. Somebody has to give credit for their invention of the three lights - that was an actual improvement - to what came before. #15 - Thanks again. This guy missed a huge opportunity to give proper credit to an amazing and super inclusive talent. But, you gotta remember what she did. Its "TOTALLY" unfair to say that its a lie to say she didnt. Even she doesnt take full credit when someone says so. She however laid the foundation for the "wheat" that everything else is based on. A little exaggeration with no exaggeration. Hidden figures anyone? 1/2 debunked. I needed to clarify what a debunked fact really looks like. You took way too many liberties in Benjamin banneker not earning his props, and tried to dismiss Shirley Anne jackson as being totally wrong. She went from being the first black woman earning a PHD at MIT, to the Nuclear regulatory commissioner for the United States to Rensselaer Polytechnic 18th president, and thats just a start. My score is 13 of 15 accurate claims. Toilet and pencil sharpener have issues. So you are by a democratic percentage, wrong about your debunked claims. They will stand the test of time, just not when a person is working to disprove them and not be balanced in their findings. ** followup 2 * Looks like Shirley anne jackson is more known for her other accomplishments than the ones stated. I couldnt find out what exactly her contributions were. Its like "I", if I wanted to say, she is responsible for the physics understanding for all semiconductors, but I dont want to go that far. Her understandings has laid the bedrock for many accomplishments, but touchtone and others stated arent found. There is a story here, but it looks like your are correct and my score must be 12 of 15 accuracy. Hope to see what exact accomplishments she has given to the scientific community. I like "Hidden Figures"stories.
