What Blacks Didn’t Invent

February is Black History Month. It’s also the shortest month of the year. Just a coincidence?: [website].

      This is the perfect occassion (I KNEW when I saw the topic), though this article is not currently accessible, to repost one of the BEST post written on AmRen (one for saving and sharing) by a frequent contributor known as “Fed Up”:

      Ok folks, time to lighten up with a bit of levity… .

      A couple of years ago, a poster styling himself OCCAM urged me (not very politely) to “read up” on real African history. Not the lies written by nasty Whites who couldn’t bear the thought that intelligent Africans (an oxymoron) existed. Below was my response to ‘friend OCCAM.’

      Took your advice, OCCAM, and am I ever IMPRESSED! (As in “how could I ever be so wrong?”)

      I found out that in the year 1066 B.C., the Ooga-Booga tribe in Central Africa had a noble and wise chief known as Ooogla-Boogla. It seems the great. compassionate chief was gravely worried. His people sent caravans in every direction of the compass trading goods, cattle, wives and produce with other tribes across the width and depth of Africa, engaging in peaceful commerce with their fellow people.

      The trips were long and arduous. Floods, jungles and other natural problems were a constant threat, thus detours were often necessitated which sometimes caused caravans to get lost. The Great Chief thought deeply about the problems and came up with a solution. Wise Chief Ooogla-Boogla promptly invented the compass and map-making to lessen travel hazards for his noble tribesmen. But being the kindly, concerned chief he was, he did not stop just there.

      He started thinking that there must be a more efficient way to for his people to travel and transport heavy loads. Accordingly, he invented paper and pencil, drawing instruments and started engineering studies fired up with a determination to build Africa’s first steam-powered railway. A project finished in record time! Within the space of a few years, Africa was criss-crossed with a network of modern efficient railway routes — much like Europe would be, some 2,000 years later. But unlike the early European 19th Century railroads, Chief Ooogla-Boogla refined his steam locomotives at the start. Experiments proved that a simple one-cylinder crude steam engine was inadequate. After careful thought, he drew up his plans and started building locomotive. Providing them, of course, with double-acting high- and low-pressure pistons, ultra-efficient feedwater heaters, automatic stokers, and keeping in mind water would not always be conveniently available, even provided them with condensing systems to condense the steam and recycle the water.

      Anticipating future needs brilliantly and using his spare time most effectively, Chief Ooogla-Boogla proceeded to invent electricity, vacuum tubes and wireless radio transmission. But he realized radios would be unduly heavy having vacuum tubes rather than transistors (you couldn’t expect him to invent just everything, now could you?) So then, how could he invent a portable, lightweight “boom-box” for his adolescents to lug around? Or to entertain his good people while they made their railroad journeys across the width and depth of Darkest Africa. Giving it more thought, he came up with a stop-gap solution, a rolling “boom box.”

      This boom-box was really a box-car with acoustically reflective walls, housing the Ooga Booga percussion orchestra, along with a full vocal ensemble. Now travelers wishing to view Africa’s natural and man-made wonders (like those of primitive Egypt), could enjoy their lengthy railway trips accompanied by their kraal’s orchestra pounding and moaning out their favorite tunes.

      It was pointed out that Chief Ooogla-Boogla was not the type to contentedly rest on his laurels. Since he had to invent paper and paper-making processes to make the enngineering drawings for his railway rolling stock and trackage, our good and noble chief also decided to invent steam powered farm machinery to free his people as much as possible of the burden and toil connected with tilling the soil and farming produce. But steam power leaves a lot to be desired. Genius that he was, Ooogla-Boogla promptly invented internal combustion engines which turned out to be far lighter and pound-for-pound, more powerful than steam engines, and soon his people were exporting produce all over Africa in trade. Of course the internal combustion engine necessitated Chief Oogla Boogla to teach his fine tribemen how to prospect for and drill oil wells, build refiners to convert the crude into gasoline — but surely an easy task for the Greatest Thinker, Scientist and Inventor humanity ever produced.

      But people age, and by 1016 B.C., after fifty years of devoted service to his people, Ooogla-Boogla was starting to feel his age. After all, having invented paper, he naturally had to invent writing, mathematics, geometry, trigonometry, calculus, as well as science, chemistry, anatomy and the study of medicine. Wise old sage that he was, Chief Ooogla-Boogla’s paternalistic concern for his people got him thinking. Thus, when a young warrior eager to test his manhood in a fight with a wild bull elephant against which to pit his spear, managed to get himself killed, Chief Ooogla-Boogla, using native herbs and plants to make drugs to fight bacterial infection and transplant rejection, as well as to deaden pain, gave himself the world’s first heart transplant using the heart of that unfortunate young man stomped by that annoyed elephant.

      With many more productive years now added to his life, Ooogla-Boogla promptly sat down, developed the theory of relativity, also cosmological theories to explain the birth and function of the universe (he invented telescopes as a hobby in 1024 B.C.) and made a brief foray into nuclear physics, developing an effective cold-fusion energy production system. He unfortunately did not put the cold-fusion system to practical use simply because he felt humanity was not really ready to harness the power of the atom — besides, people needed some work to occupy themselves, lest they get too lazy.

      When at last, ChiefOoogla-Boogla said good-by to his Ooga-Booga tribe and took his final well-earned rest in 910 B.C., he had lifted his people to heights undreamed, He had even invented aircraft powered by the internal combustion engines he invented decades earlier. Thanks to his developments in medicine and anatomy, his people were the strongest, healthiest on the Continent, if not the entire planet. In his infinite wisdom he explained to his people the need to avoid consumption of alcohol, use of nicotine and other addictive drugs. He taught them the benefits of good nutrition and healthful exercise. The need to co-exist peacefully with other tribes jealous of the wealth and power of the Ooga-Booga people. When he closed his eyes that last time, a smile of complete satisfaction lay on his kindly face. Dreaming of those magnificent marble halled cities, gleaming white towers and magnificent palaces, gleaming jewel-like against Africa’s verdant green — built by those fine, industrious self-sacrificing good dark-skinned African people.

      But time passed and as the centuries flowed by, evil things came to Africa. Namely White-skinned barbarians from a continent to the north and east of Africa. These people brought with them guns and swords of steel, as well as germs the peaceful Africans were not naturally immune to. Regrettable as it was, the fine, peace-loving Africans never invented guns of their own. And why should they have, spending their time in peaceful commerce and trade with their African neighbors, with the peoples around the rim of the Mediterranean and over in Asia. They had no need for powerful weapons, never having experienced the desire to kill, conquer and enslave others. Their ships sailed the seven seas, unmolested, trading with the Orientals, the Pacific Islanders, the Eskimos and even with primitive European Whites. Oh, yes, they also discovered North and South America, where they imbued the Indians they met with the magnificence of the Muslim religion. Teaching them also the finer points of serving their fellow man (at tribal feasts, of course).

      Well, the evil White-skins saw for themselves, the incredible fruits of Ooogla-Boogla’s genius and their pale white skins nearly turned green with envy, at realizing their own kind were still long centuries from reaching such a pinacle of achievement and culture. In an attempt to salvage their pride, the White-skins tore up the rails, destroyed the fine marble cities found all over Africa, opulent homes lighted by electricity and cooled by modern air conditiong — all more gifts from Ooogla-Boogla’s genius.

      In almost no time flat, the wicked and crafty Europeans had razed the cities, dug up the streets and roads and melted rails the railway’s rolling stock, as well as the automobiles belonging to the peace-loving Africans and equally quickly reverted the continent to the primal savagery of 2,000 years earlier. Ruthlessly silencing and killing anyone with greater knowledge than that of the European conquerors. Burning books, records, maps — destroying anything suggestive of the advanced Black culture and knowledge possessed by these magnificant African people.

      Fortunately, a brave African while yet fearing for his life, managed to hide books and maps, and pictures in a cave. (You older folks probably can recall that famous Kodak Brownie camera of the 1950s — King Oogla Goobla invented the Ashanti Blackie camera, along with inventing roll film, processing, etc., etc.) Thus the TRUE STORY of Africa’s monumental and stupendous achievements can be taught today as Afro-Centric Culture.

      (With thanks to both OCCAM and BlaqBuck for steering me on the path of learning more about Africa I regretfully have to end this story. Besides, having invented everything and anything of possible value, what would there have been left for Great King Oogla Boogla to invent.)

      LOL @ this story.

      Jungle bunnies had aircraft at 900 B.C.

      Makes sense to me.
