Real question. How many of the families are benefiting from these successful inventions? Meaning did any of them pass down wealth?

 

[HookersandIceCream]

How you start off with the initial person not being the actual inventor of said device

They're the kings of downplaying everything.

*omg black man just flew into space and punched an asteroid that was hurtling towards earth shattering it into dust!!!!*


*yea but he was late on his child support payment last month. Asteroid probably was gonna miss earth anyway. Scientists said it was only going to come within 1 mile of the atmosphere. Try taking care of your kids next time. *

Black people invented swag.

All of these things are irrelevant in life if you're not shyt. So lets not get caught up in what other people have invented, but instead what YOU'RE going to invent.
