Revisionist indeed.

Here's the quote word for word for the visually, reading, and yes, geriatrically impaired as well as the knee jerk Brownshirters sure to reeeeeeee their 'Flake Newz' alerts.
Donald on Elon Musk and others, including our beloved inventor of the wheel, Ugh Hewitt of Mesopotamia, New Hampshire -

''Well -- you have to give him credit. I spoke to him very recently, and he's also doing the rockets. He likes rockets. And -- he does good at rockets too, by the way. I never saw where the engines come down with no wings, no anything, and they're landing. I said I've never seen that before. And I was worried about him, because he's one of our great geniuses, and we have to protect our genius. You know, we have to protect Thomas Edison and we have to protect all of these people that -- came up with originally the light bulb and -- the wheel and all of these things. And he's one of our very smart people and we want to-- we want to cherish those people.''

Seen it already - not on some rancid lunatic overweight on account of the drugs he consumes basement case's UToob blog, but from the Donny's blithering lips himself.
Even posted the transcript here for all to read, but then that would require a degree of literacy.

Here’s the full video so you can see it in context. Skip forward to about 1:04:00 if you don’t have time to watch the whole thing.

Please note that your “alt reich YT vid” is a production of the Biden Harris campaign.

I saw it already when it happened STILL.

I don't do links STILL.

B/H vid? Oh cool, yet another reason not to watch it STILL.

But still, for the sake of clarifying your confusion, here's the quote word for word for the visually, reading, and yes, geriatrically impaired as well as the knee jerk Brownshirters sure to reeeeeeee their 'Flake Newz' alerts.

Donald on Elon Musk and others, including our beloved inventor of the wheel, Ugh Hewitt of Mesopotamia, New Hampshire:

You don’t do links because you’re afraid you might actually learn something.

Here is the word-for-word quote that my meme refers to:

"People fear that which is different. We've got to, for example, why in God's name don't we teach history in history classes? A Black man invented the light bulb, not a White guy named Edison. There's so much — did anybody know before what recently happened that Black Wall Street in Oklahoma was burned to the ground. Anybody know these things? Because we don't teach them. We've got to give people facts."

If you want to meme about whatever quote you’re referring to, go ahead. But stop acting like an idiot thinking you know what you’re talking about - because you’re totally clueless.

Oh cool, a classic Let's Pee on the Hydrant in the works.

Shame you're not old enough yet to vote, as if you would if you could with that Xbox humming for attention.

Perhaps you should stop drinking then.

Hey, look what I found when I wasn't even looking.
WAS too late to use it, but thanks for the oppurtunity.

Retarded AND senile, Trump DOES appeal to a certain demographic.

"People fear that which is different. We've got to, for example, why in God's name don't we teach history in history classes? A Black man invented the light bulb, not a White guy named Edison, OK.

Because then there would be much less time for leftist generated social engineering to turn out ignorant but politically correct future social justice warrior types to burn down cities in the name of justice. So it's an allocation of resources thing for the political Left.

The best one I ever saw was when I think buzzfeed or vice made a video titled something to the effect of "24 hours without black inventions." They pushed the idea that computers were made by a black man. Turns out, a black man helped improve a piece in a computer to make it run better which somehow translated to "black man invents computer."

Maybe the same people using Joe Biden as a puppet are the ones who lost their jobs at buzzfeed...

Yup, and I doubt his gaff will be mad fun of on late night TV because, well, he’s a Democrat.

This one is true. Edison didn't invent the light bulb. He perfected it and made it a viable product.

False. Edison invented the light bulb. A black inventor named Latimer invented the carbon filament that improved the light bulb. You wouldn’t say that John Dunlop invented the wheel just because he invented the rubber tire or that Dunlop invented the car just because he improved the ride. I would say that Biden has lost his mind if we didn’t already know that his mind has been long gone already.
0 ups, 4y
False, many people worked with hollow glass with some kind of filament inside to create light long before Edison. Please learn history.

Sorry but could you please read your article and point out the black man who invented the light bulb before Edison? If you’re referring to Latimer, then maybe you should read this.

I didn't say a black man invented it. I said Edison Didn't.

Sorry, I must have misunderstood when you said “This one is true“ since the meme is about Biden claiming that a black man invented the light bulb. Ironically, it’s a black man who “perfected it and made it a viable product“, not Edison.

Edison didn't invent the light bulb, he just made a MUCH better design which alowwed them to live longer.

I think you’re talking about Latimer, who Biden was probably talking about.
