88 year old WWII war hero beaten to death by two teens

@Loki -Politifact's wrong on the Ballistics point ^^^ They should better fact check.

All mathematics hails from Ancient Africa. It's history is steeped in NUMBERS. Everything. All power and power of understanding derives from numbers/formulations and Africans knew this.

I can't fathom he is unaware. Even assuming they no longer teach it in schools (?), at the very least, every Black History month, Americans are fully enlightened of the vast contributions and pioneering inventions/inventors.

 

Excellent post. The crime is reprehensible and should be condemned, but nothing more can be inferred about "ghetto culture" or the youth who ostensibly are a part of it beyond that point. There are plenty of impoverished 'ghetto' children who do not commit crimes like this.

 

I already knew that we made inventions. You didn't interpret my post correctly. I implied within my post that we need a new invention now. That's what I meant to convey.

Black men have invented traffic lights, air conditioning units, lawn mowers, and cell phones. There are probably other ones too, but the media doesn't talk about it.

View my post to Beasty.

 

Cell phones is pretty recent, luv. And you can add refrigerator coolant for trucks and trains, which brings us all our food at a safe temperature. There are heaps more, like the x-ray spectrometer, but you are right in that the media doesn't much mention it.

The beauty about the inventions you mentioned though, is they still significantly impact our lives to this day, no mater how long ago they were invented.

 

Always open to hearing other sources and information Bliss, I have always found Politifact to be VERY reliable and fair in their analysis, they just don't hand out Pulitzer prizes. Further information from them below.


The only information we found about ballistics testing and Terry's death was an FBI report completed shortly after the shooting. The report, dated Dec. 23, 2010, says that the bullet that killed Terry could have been fired from the kind of guns that were found at the scene but that "firearms examinations" could not determine if the bullet came from either of the found weapons.
The report — posted online July 26, 2011, by the Times and described in a story the next day — says the bullet "was fired from a barrel rifled with four grooves, right twist, such as the K2 and K3 rifles" — the guns found at the scene. "However," the report says, "due to a lack of sufficient agreement in the individual microscopic marks of value, it could not be determined if the … bullet was fired from the barrel of the K2 or K3 rifles."
Neither the FBI nor the U.S. attorney's office in San Diego, which is handling the Terry case, would comment to us about ballistics tests.
Finally, we talked with the House oversight committee and Grassley's office.
Becca Watkins, a spokeswoman for committee Chairman Issa, told us that the Times' reporting about the FBI report was accurate, although she said the committee is waiting for the Justice Department to respond to requests for more information. "The ballistics report for the guns recovered at Agent Terry's crime scene do not rule out the Operation Fast and Furious guns as the weapon in his death," she said. But she suggested that it wasn't accurate to say that the report confirmed one of them was responsible for his death.
At a Dec. 8, 2011, hearing of the House Judiciary Committee, U.S. Rep. Steve King, R-Iowa, asked Holder whether the department had "identified the weapon that actually killed Agent Terry." Holder replied that he was "not prepared to talk about that" because the investigation is ongoing.

Our ruling
By all accounts, Fast and Furious weapons were found at the scene of a U.S. agent's death. Dewhurst's campaign was emphatic, though, that ballistics tests confirmed that the weapons killed the agent. We found no information indicating that's so. Dewhurst's statement rates False.

 

If you feel that strongly about it. Become the next Inventor, be the change that you feel is needed. Nobody is going to benefit from your constant criticism. Since you are in college, how about learning how to write so that you clearly get your point across correctly and without offending people. Do you think we have a problem reading English?

 

It's a website man, have fun with it. How I type messages on here doesn't mean anything in the long run. It's not like my life is gonna crash down on me and I'll lose my job, get incarcerated, get shot, or anything like that because of my posts on here. I communicate like this because - frankly, it's fun. My grandmother acts the same way around me and I'm cool with it. My grandmother is very tough on me. Some of her genes are in me and this is genuinely who I am.

And Beasty, I'll pull up some more "criticism" for you just because you need to hear it and benefit from it. Or does hearing this just piss you off and make you angry?

 

Thanks. I think it's because the media doesn't consider those kind of inventions on the same level of significance in comparison to other inventions. They would consider things like computers, wireless internet, printers and cars of more significance.

Beasty originally thought that I believed that Africans invented nothing at all to benefit society. I obviously don't believe that and I think he either got too emotional about what I was saying and/or misinterpreted my post.

 

Indubitably. History is interesting. As brilliant as Newton was I think it is funny that he is credited for discovering differential calculus. It is known that the Egyptians were using integration for constructing their architecture and so were the Greeks for that matter. Why would they not know that the opposite of integration would be a useful procedure?

 

We can agree on that, because to me it means nothing, other than you joined this site to air out your own shortcomings. I guess all of your failures IRL were not convincing enough so you decided to join this site to confirm how degenerate you are.

 

My life in the real world hasn't started yet, so I haven't really failed in anything yet.

The only shortcoming I did have was that I was told that I can't run fast and beat the white people I'm competing against in high school. Initially, I did have that shortcoming. Yet, I'm beating most of them now through my own training plans that I designed on my own beyond my years in high school. So pretty much, HS was the time I had a "failure".

If I came from the "hood" and embraced the ghetto culture, I wouldn't be able to do what I'm doing now.

 

Therefore you know nothing, get a clue kid. Better yet get a job then open your mouth, maybe your words will be useful then. :smt081

 

You don't literally mean that.

I know what 8 * 7 is. It's 56.

 

:smt042 you gonna do something useful with that?

 

I did. I had a part time job this summer tutoring a kid in his home in Geometry and Algebra II.

 

I do like Politifact, even though they do seem ever so slightly biased.

I had posted a published an in-depth investigative report to AB a while back in a gun thread debate on F & F, I will def look through my temp files to see if I can find it to post her for you to peruse...TBC.

 

Perhaps they don't consider it as such, you may be correct. But think about the significance of these by BP, for example...


- Invention of methods of measuring and detecting Ultraviolet lights and electromagnetic radiation in space.

- Pioneered the field of blood preservation, developing a method for separating plasma from the whole blood so they could be combined later. Also determined that plasma could be administered to certain patients regardless of their blood type. Helped to establish the modern Blood Bank.

- Created a steam engine powerful enough to drive steam-powered warships.

- Invented several small and inexpensive resistors and developed a control unit for the pacemaker.

- Created numerous devices for personal computer architecture and helped revolutionize the computer industry.

- Created a process for providing massively, scalable processing from networked microprocessors and helped to innovate internet applications.


- Created an automatic lubricating cup which provided oil to moving trains. Was held in such high regard, his inventions were called "the Real McCoy."


And ps:
Jack Johnson, our first Black Heavyweight boxing champion, he actually created a wrench for automotive maintenance. And you know how some of them confederate boys love to tinker in their car hoods and watch Nascar repairs. lol...

*Oh and a BM invented the Potato Chip. Weedheads world-wide and my fat ass thanks him! :smt081

 

That's good but you got to do much more than that before you even think about criticizing an entire race of people and expect to have some sort of credibility. You posted some criticism of MLK earlier and yet you have not proven that you are at least .0000000000000001% of the man he was let alone any better. I went to a very diverse college and all of my black friends have tutored someone at some point. Get a clue kid. When you are responsible for setting someone on a career path then you have helped them. Become someone that fosters the development of those that work for you. Once you have the ability and selflessness to put their development before your own progress, as well as the intellect to know that it still benefits you and the organization in the long run only then may you think of talking to me. Now go learn Trig, Diff equations, as well as human communications. Make sure you treat yourself and whack off sometimes too, critical as you are you can't be getting any pussy.
