    Sure, heard of it, but why are you bringing it up in this topic?

    Edison had dozens, maybe hundreds of engineers working for him.

    None of them made much money working for him. This is so far out of context that it serves no purpose but to reinforce your hackneyed, grossly biased stereotypes with a stereotype. This is yet ONE MORE negative contribution that blacks have made, but you do not get that and you never will.

    The topic is "positive contributions by blacks".

    You're the one who's off topic.
