We now live in a world where most blacks have been brainwashed and have forgotten their history. We published this article to remind blacks of whom they were and to re-ignite the zeal for invention which was once the dominant urge.

Today, inferiority complex is the major challenge of most black people. And it is unfortunate that this has been taken advantage of. We hope that by reminding you or informing you of the great exploits of times past, we could heal the faculty of every wrong thinking black men and women.

It is flabbergasting to find out the desperation of some women. They go through unbelievable lengths to want to look like white women. You were made black for a reason and until you embrace the color of your skin, you won’t be emancipated from your self-imposed mental slavery.

Apparently, there is racism in the world. But despite this reality, no right thinking black man will feel inferior to another race or be allowed to be disrespected by another race. Before race, remember it’s human and there is but just one human race.

Now, we take you through 24 incredible inventions by blacks.
