...ramps up the rhetoric...
"Why in God’s name don’t we teach history in history classes?” Biden said during the event at Grace Lutheran Church. “A black man invented the light bulb, not a white guy named Edison. Okay?"
"There’s so much. Did anybody know?”
According to fact-checking site LeadStories.com, this false meme became popular thanks to an article from “LibertyWritersAfrica.com,” a race-obsessed blog which has seen many more of its headlines disputed, such as:
• “Meet The Black Family Who Produced Cars For 100 Years Before Henry Ford”
• “Research Shows That Chemicals in Foods Are Making Young Men Gay In The U.S.”
• “How Black Female Prisoners Are Sterilized To Cut Welfare Costs In California”
• “The First American President Was A Black Man — Not George Washington”
Biden did not indicate what sources had convinced him of this claim.
Remember, this latest revelation is from the guy who brought us...
“If you have a problem figuring out whether you’re for me or Trump, THEN YOU AIN'T BLACK.”
FROM THE COMMENTS:"Lewis Latimer invented the carbon filament in 1881 or 1882? No! English chemist/physicist Joseph Swan experimented with a carbon-filament incandescent light all the way back in 1860, and by 1878 had developed a better design which he patented in Britain.
Hmmm... Latimer worked at the Patent Office? You don't say.
