Now lets switch gears a lil bit..
A World Without Black People
This is a story of a little boy name Mychante, who woke up one morning and
asked his Father, "DAD, what if there were no Black people in the world?" Well,his father thought about that for a moment, and then said, "Son, follow me around today and let`s just see what it would be like if there were no Black people in the world." Dad said, "Now go get dressed, and we will get started." Mychante ran to his room to put on his clothes and shoes. His father took one look at him and said, "Mychante, where are your shoes? And those clothes are all wrinkled, son. I must iron them." However, when He reached for the ironing board, it was no longer there. You see Sarah Boone, a black woman, invented the ironing board, and Jan E. Matzelinger, a black man,
invented the shoe lasting machine. "Oh well," he said, "please go and do something to your hair." Mychante ran in his room to comb his hair, but the comb was not there. You see, Walter Sammons, a black man, invented the comb. Mychante decided to just brush his hair, but the brush was gone. You see Lydia O.Newman, a blackfemale, invented the brush. Well, this was a sight: no shoes, wrinkled clothes, hair a mess. Even Mom`s hair before she left for work was a mess, without the hair care inventions of Madam C. Walker, well, you get the picture. Dad told Mychante,"Let`s do our chores around the house and then take a trip to the grocery store." Mychante`s job was to sweep the floor. He swept and swept and swept.When he reached for the dustpan, it was not there. You see, Lloyd P. Ray, a black man, invented the dustpan. So he swept his pile of dirt over in the corner and left it there. He then decided to mop the floor, but the mop was gone. You see, Thomas W. Stewart, a black man, invented the mop. Mychante yelled to his Dad, "Dad,I`m not having any luck." "Well, son," he said, "Let me finish washing these clothes, and we will prepare a list for the
grocery store." When the wash finished, he went to place the clothes in the dryer,but it was not there. You see, George T. Samon, a black man, invented the clothes dryer. Dad asked Mychante to go get a pencil and some paper to prepare
their list for the market. So, he ran for the paper and pencil but
noticed the pencil lead was broken. Well, he was out of luck because John Love, a black man, invented the pencil sharpener. Dad reached for a pen, but it was not there because William Purvis, a black man,invented the fountain pen. As a matter of fact, Lee Burridge invented the typewriting machine and W. A.Lovette the advanced printing press. Mychante and his father decided just to head out to the market. Well, when Mychante opened the door, he noticed the grass was as high as he was tall. You see, John Burr, a black man, invented the lawn mower. They made their way over to the car and found that it just wouldn`t go. You see, Richard Spikes, a black man, invented the automatic gearshift, and Joseph Gammel invented the supercharge system for internal combustion engines. They also noticed that the few cars that were moving were runninginto each other and having wrecks because there were no trafficsignals. You see, Garrett A. Morgan, a black man invented the traffic light.Well, it was getting late, so they walked to the market, got theirgroceries, and returned home. Just when they were about to put away the milk, eggs, and butter, they noticed the refrigerator was gone. You see John Standard, a black man, invented the refrigerator. So, they just left the food on the counter. By this time, Mychante noticed he was getting mighty cold.Dad went to turn up the heat, and what do you know? Alice Parker, a black female, invented the heating furnace. Even in the summertime, they would have been out of luck because Frederick Jones, a black man, invented the air conditioner. It was almost time for Mychante`s Mom to arrive home. sheusually takes the bus, but there was no bus, because its precursor was the electrictrolley, invented by another black man, Elbert R. Robinson. She usually takes the elevator from her office on the 20th floor, but there was no elevator because Alexander Miles, a black man, invented the elevator. She also usually dropped off the office mail at a near by mailbox, but it was no longer there because Philip Downing, a black man,invented the letter drop mailbox, and William Barry invented the postmarking and canceling machine. Mychante and his father sat at the kitchen table with their heads in their hands. When the mother arrived, she asked, "Why are you sitting in the dark?" Why? Because Lewis Howard Latimer, a black man, invented the filament within the lightbulb. Mychante quickly learned more about what it would be like if there were no black people in the world, especially if he were ever sick and needed blood. Dr. Charles Drew, a black scientist, found a way to preserve and store blood, which led to his starting the world`s first blood bank. Well, what if a family member had to have heart surgery? This would not have been possible without Dr. Daniel Hale Williams, a black doctor, who performed the first open-heart surgery. So, if you ever wonder, like Mychante, where would we be without black people?
Well, it`s pretty plain to see. We would still be in the DARK!
Hope ya dug that!!!!
