RE: If Cultural Appropriation is Wrong, What About Technological Appropriation?

in #politics6 years ago (edited)

I agree with you that just about every invention associated with modernity came from the minds of white Americans and Europeans...

I actually can't believe this comment I just read here. I kinda find it inappropriate to say that Every invention associated with modernity came from whites. I mean lots of blacks were core or vital in several invention but we're not given the due credit because they were black. Every invention?? Oh come on. Recheck the history books.

Sort:  

Examples?

Many of those aren't inventions, but academic or business accomplishments. The ones that are inventions are overwhelmingly just improvements on something a white guy invented, like X-ray imaging. (item 2 on the list)

You are really showing your true colors here.

OMG...haha Did you just flag him??

Yes, @alexracist is afraid, as he should be.

Yep, he's accused me of racism for complaining about a double standard and making a claim concerning the history of invention that anybody with access to Google can quickly verify.

I do not tolerate bullying. He will soon regret his error.

yep.. cyberbullying is not cool. But the topic is very controversial tho.

Open Racism is controversial , Yes.

One of us will

Yes. to be fair He said, "just about." but not as racist as "The examples of PoC inventions are predictably dire, like peanut butter and low rider modificiation of automobiles. "

Have a good, long cry about it then.

You are the snowflake here sir. Wahhhh Wahhhh People of color do not bow down to my technological superiority.
