I do not normally respond to this kind of asshattery but, I see that I, a librarian for almost thirty years, who has worked in the Science and Technology Dept. for the last five, and who knows how to actually do research because that is my job, am gonna have to take your ass to school today, becasue I got some time.

The next time you come on here, to bother people who do this for a living, do a quick historical Google search of inventions from other parts of the world.

Here, I did your homework for you this time. I'm not interacting with you again until you get educated about your own damn history, and stop getting all your information about the rest of the world from racist Reddit posts!

This doesn't only apply to Black people. Plenty of things were invented by other cultures that white men appropriated and took credit for! We would have none of the technology you listed if it were not for the inventions of these cultures that laid the foundations for your white supremacy!

But my response isn't just for you. It's also for my followers (of which you have none I see) who might like to know these things that white people love to take credit for, would never have happened if other cultures hadn't laid the groundwork.

ETA: Well, that went about as well as I expected it to go. I didn’t even get past the first line of his response which is just wrong on so many levels!

Well at least my response is up and hopefully it’s informative and helpful to someone, which is mainly the reason I like to write, butI knew I shouldn’t even have bothered to respond. I’ve written about the 4 point system for blocking trolls that I like to use, and this person passed with flying colors: no stories of their own, no followers, in fact, they’re so new, they aren’t even following anyone yet. Apparently, this person just got on Medium for the sole purpose of having pointless arguments with Black people, and I guess I was the lucky one today!
