You just prove my point, you are a loser who has accomplished nothing, so you tie yourself to the accomplishments of others by race. You had nothing to do with Blues or Jazz, so taking pride in it is stupid.I certainly am. But it goes for both sides, black and white. Pride in race, something you have no control over, is stupid. Taking pride in the accomplishments of other individuals shows how few accomplishments you have yourself. Whether it is neo nazi scum on stormfront or black losers who take pride out of peanut butter.
You are entitled to think its stupid but you are stupid if you think everyone else believes the same way you do. Taking pride in the good accomplishments of people that look like you shows respect for those accomplishments. People the world over have done this and is one of the basic tenets of culture. No amount of reverse psychology would ever change that for me.
You have the same exact line as the freaks on Stormfront. All of you should get together, dry up, and blow away.

I just told you reverse psychology doesn't work. You prove my point that you are threatened by Black people being proud of the things other people that share the same ethnicity have done. Why else would you be upset that a Black person is proud of say Fredrick Douglas or Imhotep? Face it. Black pride threatens you.

No one is threatened by you, you are just some racist loser on the internet. Get your ego in line buddy.
Being proud of another individual and their accomplishments, which you have no tie to, is pathetic. You had nothing to do with Fredrick Douglas or Imhotep, so being proud of them is illogical. Recognizing historical accomplishments is entirely different than taking pride in the accomplishments of an individual because he shares your skin color.
I am not threatened by black pride or white pride, both ideologies are just stupid. And thankfully racialism is dying as we become a global and individualistic society. Your way of thinking is dying out.
You are just showing you are threatened, if you lose your racial identity, you lose everything, because you have done nothing yourself. Racism is declining, most individuals reject racial identity and see it as irrelevant. At this point, racism is relegated to losers like yourself. This is why it has been so discredited and marginalized. It is only see in certain corners of the internet like this. It is not part of mainstream life, and is a freak fringe ideology.

Still waiting...Only morons believe facts without checking them.

We are made to believe that if it weren't for (African American) inventing traffic lights, we'd all be crashing at intersections. As if White people (intelligent enough to create, design and develop automobiles, paved roads, and an Interstate highway system) couldn't figure out how to avoid running into each other at intersections.
So.. Was the traffic light invented by an (African American) named Garret A. Morgan in 1923? Let's see...
1) In 1868 the first known traffic signal appeared in London near the Houses of Parliament. It was designed by JP Knight and featured two semaphore arms and two gas lamps.
2) In 1912 the earliest electric traffic lights included Lester Wire's two-color version version set up in Salt Lake City.
3) In 1914 James Hoges' system (US patent #1,251,666) was installed in Cleveland by the American Traffic Signal Company.
4) In 1920, William Pott's 4-way red-yellow-green lights were introduced in Detroit.
5) Also in 1920, New York City traffic towers began flashing three-color signals.
Well Mr. Morgan, not only was your cross-shaped, crank-operated semaphore not automatic, it also was not among the first half-hundred patented traffic signals. Your invention did not play any part in the evolution of the modern traffic light. Nice try though.
After witnessing a collision between an automobile and a horse-drawn carriage, Garrett Morgan took his turn at inventing a traffic signal. Other inventors had experimented with, marketed, and even patented traffic signals, however, Garrett Morgan was one of the first to apply for and acquire a U.S. patent for an inexpensive to produce traffic signal. The patent was granted on November 20, 1923. Garrett Morgan also had his invention patented in Great Britain and Canada. Garrett Morgan stated in his patent for the traffic signal, "This invention relates to traffic signals, and particularly to those which are adapted to be positioned adjacent the intersection of two or more streets and are manually operable for directing the flow of traffic... In addition, my invention contemplates the provision of a signal which may be readily and cheaply manufactured."
