How about that fact that Edison a White man and Lewis Howard Latimer a Black man indirectly
Worked Together. How about the fact that a Black man rose to this level in America, how many years ago? Who held him back (Democrat Jim Crow Laws)?
How about the fact that his mentors were Republicans?
But now all of a sudden the lefts systemic racism narrative is as if we just came out of slavery?
Why do Democrats the party of slavery and jim crow continue to devalue Black Americans and treat them as if they can't succeed?
Did Latimer achieve what he achieved because he rejected Western Culture and values?
