🧵 10 Black American Inventors Your School Never Talked About

1. George Edward Alcorn was the winner of the 1984 NASA/GSFC Inventor of the year for his X-Ray Imaging Spectrometer, which allowed scientists to more accurately identify materials and investigate deep space phenomena Image
2. Valerie L. Thomas was a NASA scientist who oversaw the creation of NASA's Landsat program capturing satellite imagery of the Earth and inventor of the illusion transmitter, a technology used in video screens, 3D movies, satellite imaging and surgery Image
3. Otis Boykin’s innovative work with electrical resistors was used in various technologies, including computers and guided missiles, but most notably in pacemakers regulating the electrical conduction of the heart

His advances made many electronics cheaper and more reliable Image

White women were about 40% of slaveowners, many Indigenous tribes also enslaved Black Americans, most “Browns” were classified as white, Africans generally got better treatment than American Negroes during Jim Crow and so on so this makes no sense
A 🧵 with receipts 📃
People like to use the vague term “women” to disguise the obvious fact that the majority of women in this country, especially during segregation, were white women

White women were brutal enslavers and segregationists like their white fathers and husbands

There were several large tribes that participated in slavery and many tribes that still discriminate against Black Freedmen till today

Indigenous peoples have their own history and issues with the US but they are not the same as Black Americans

Raymond Winbush compares reparations lineage advocates to slave catchers 🤨
When asked a specific question about how reparations is a specific debt owed to a specific class of people, Raymond Winbush refuses to answer the question
They also seem upset and confused that Queen Mother Moore also advocated for lineage based reparations and act if as we are trying to change her philosophy

It's crazy how almost all the Pan-Africans who call ADOS divisive have stayed completely silent on the fact that Louisiana white Republicans are actively trying to change the definition of who counts as Black
Most of these same types who call ADOS divisive also don't call out Hispanic/Latino organizations for trying to create a combined Hispanic race/ethnicity box on the census

I don't see alot of political solidarity from Pan-Africans with the Afro-Latino community
Many Afro-Latinos think creating this category would harm their community in the US

Author and professor Tanya K. Hernandez called into the OMB to voice her concerns

I didn't hear many Pan-Africans calling to the OMB in solidarity either

“In Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Kentucky, Louisiana, Mississippi, North Carolina, and Texas, incarcerated workers are tasked with agricultural work on penal plantations or prison farms. These penal plantations have direct roots in the Black chattel slavery of the South” Image
“Alabama, Arkansas, Florida, Georgia, Mississippi, South Carolina, and Texas pay zero compensation to incarcerated people for the vast majority of work assignments” ImageImage

Just a reminder that Democrats will publicly endorse local/state politicians and policies if they are part of the Democratic Agenda

So why the silence when it comes to direct cash payment reparations in California? 🤔 Image
The Tennessee state legislature is overwhelmingly Republican and the Governor is Republican as well

It was extremely unlikely to near impossible that Tennessee would ever pass any meaningful gun control legislation, yet the Democrats showed up in full force to support the issue ImageImage
In California, things are reversed with a Democrat Governor and majority Democratic legislature, yet they are not openly supporting direct cash payment reparations 🤔

In fact, Task Force member and State Senator Steven Bradford (D) is signaling that cash payments are unlikely ImageImageImageImage
