I don't know what metrics were used in putting this photo compilation together, but it strikes me as revisionist history.
It is arguable that George Washington Carver was the greatest American inventor, but the great majority of the rest of the list is black as well. Try scrolling across.
The point of this post is not meant to slight the talents of the black inventors listed, only that it completely deviates from the generally accepted rankings of top inventors.
Does it really matter, yes, because kids will be exposed to revisionist history to jibe with the mindset of Google/Alphabet inc. It's not fair to use a monopoly and transform the history of a nation in your own mind's eye.
Below is a link for the google search and following that is a good article that compares results from other search engines.
Where else are we going to see more perversion of history in Google's search?

As described by George Orwell most of our history seems constructed. Question everything! :)
The abolition of the Past: History in George Orwell’s 1984
That is the truth. Repeat the story enough times and loud enough, it becomes the truth.
Not only do I question the shit out of other people,
I hold myself and feet to the flame and question the shit out of myself.
That being said,
it's a goddam simulation AL...
and I question Reality
I'm totally with you @universalway, that's key!
Yes, seems reality is nothing like we have been taught it is, so exciting to explore with an open and critical mind. This ride is just about to start it seems like! ;)
AL?
hahaha. AL is actually short for Alvin and the nearly uncountable chipmunks that roam this rock
but it could be beyond my egotistical intention and stand for...Alt Level
We are living in a science experiment and we are going to get to the bottom of this.
What the hell is this warped ass reality really all about?
I don't buy it and I've got BIG questions
Time for some serious answers
Agreed @universalway! 😄
Together we will succeed solving this great mystery!
The more interesting question is if "American inventor" is an oxymoron :).
Not acknowledging that there were none, but pretty much everything you got as technology is from China, Germany, Italy, Russia or the middle east.
Good point. Many of the "American Inventors" were just working within an established framework.
yeah, that was what I am trying to get at. It is not like there have never been any innovations in America, but a lot of the ground breaking stuff came from European inventors. Framework is a nice way to put it.
Thanks for not getting upset about my rather condescending comment :D
Life is too short to get upset. The only way you'll ever piss me off, is if you go out of your way to piss me off.
Very well said, good sir. To go back to your article, I get the same search results as you, even when browsing the 2nd page it shows mostly black people.
One of the few whites is Nikola Tesla, which I always credited as a European inventor, but I just read up that he moved to the States at the age of 28, so I guess I will give that one to you ;).
Using duckduckgo for search and click images, you end up with the same thing.
The only thing that makes Tesla an American is that he was robbed by JP Morgan and the Bush Crime Family. Dying penniless in a hotel room. All of his work, stolen.
The American way of life indeed
Nothing will change until we, the normal, non-brainwashed people, take charge. Stop using google and its products as much as practicable, stop using FB as much as practicable. Get your news and information from reputable and objective alternative media sites. Share the attempts at destroying and/or revising our history, and everything that has made the Western Civilization great. But most of all, do not fail your children. DO NOT FAIL YOUR CHILDREN. Don't let your children become braindead zombies. Don't let your children be run over an Islamic protohuman. Teach your children to be vigilant. Teach them about taking responsibility and fighting the leftist tyranny. If need be, move to a safe country: Dead people can not fight. Our generation will need to be ready to fight, but it is our children, who will decide which way the tide will go. Be on the side of the living!
That is potentially why the decline is accelerating, the lack of interest that parents show for their children's education. My teacher friends complain about this trend constantly. Parents who tell them that it is the teacher's job to educate, not their own. Good luck with that attitude.
