On Thursday, presidential candidate Joe Biden claimed that a Black man had invented the light bulb, not "a White guy named Edison."
Biden was at a community meeting in Kenosha, Wisconsin, the site of the recent police shooting of Jacob Blake. He was addressing the ways in which Black Americans are stripped from American history and aren't discussed in schools.
The thing is, though, his facts were a little off. As far as we know, Edison did invent the light bulb, but a Black inventor named Lewis Latimer actually made it better and more accessible.

Even CNN called Biden on this mental lapse. I won't call it a lie. Biden was just too stupid, too mentally diminished, to know it wasn't true. Clueless maybe?
Then he talks about this:

Yes, the Greenwood Tulsa "massacre" was a horrid act of racism. But what gets played down is until that abhorrible act happened, Greenwood was the up and coming place for Blacks to gain real wealth and move up into the Middle Class. Even with segregation, racism, and everything that went with it, Blacks were gaining ground in America and becoming part of the overall society.
What put the brakes on all that was government intervention giving Blacks a handout rather than a hand up.
Biden is a racist POS and an idiot. It's like voting for a White Supremist.
