02/07/2008: "Black invention myths unnecessary, say black scholars"

In elementary school, were you ever told that without the contributions of African Americans, many of the things that we use everyday, like the lightbulb or peanut butter, wouldn't exist?

But in spite of the wide circulation of such accounts, some researchers are discovering another side to the story.

What's more, according to Dr. Russell Adams, author of "Great Negroes: Past and Present," it's not exactly the whole truth.

"Some of the myths have been put into the school system as gospel and truth," he said. There are people who will hang on to the myths because they are so comforting."

[ White people invent lies as "gifts" to the black man to prove white superiority. Notice how Bill Clinton finally revealed he's been racist all these years. White liberals are often the biggest racists ever, but they like to "raise up the black folk" and so claim they're not racist, even if they're doing it to be hip in front of their city friends. ]
