Prof. Biden Claims 'a Black Man Invented the Light Bulb, Not a White Guy Named Edison.'
By Matt Margolis Sep 03, 2020 9:32 PM EST

Joe Biden, who claims he wants to fact-check Donald Trump in real time during the presidential debates, told a real whopper on Thursday during his visit to Kenosha.

“People fear that’s, which, that which is different. We gotta, for example, why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes? A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison.”

Fact check: False.

Make no mistake about it, Thomas Edison invented the light bulb. Joe Biden presumably was referring to Lewis H. Latimer, a former slave who worked as a researcher under Edison, who, three years after Edison patented the incandescent light bulb, patented a more efficient way of manufacturing carbon filaments, which were used in Edison’s bulb design. Fake internet rumors have been circulating for some time now suggesting that Latimer is the actual inventor of the light bulb and even the telephone.

Apparently, fake internet rumors are where Joe Biden gets his history lessons.

Joe really has lost any semblance of reality.

I'm beginning to think Biden is a fake internet rumor...or should be.

This is not new. Racist Black Radicals claim that Black people invented everything from the automobile to airplanes, and the White Devils stole it from them. In Radical Black groups this is a fundamental tenet. They also claim, along with illegals that 'we built this country!'

Biden is just going to any extreme he can to get Black people to vote for him. However, the number of Black people who fall into these radical groups is small. And, they would never vote for an old White man from the early 40s anyway.

A Black man did invent the traffic stoplight, which seeing Biden forget and mix up everything he says now, this was where he was probably going.

He just has no idea how to get there anymore.
