From the Huffington Post:
A long time ago, in a galaxy far, far away, George Lucas conceived of a film about brave fighter pilots. No, not "Star Wars," but the true-life tale of the barrier-shattering World War II squadron, The Tuskegee Airmen.

** THE STOLEN BLACK LEGACIES **
Throughout history, Blacks have endured/experienced without provocations on their parts, generations of evils engaged upon them from and by Traditional White Racist Oppressors and Accomplices through countless encounters of horrors by way of being lynched, raped, murdered, scorned, spat upon, persecuted, wrongfully prosecuted or ill-treated, families broken up and/or torn “apartheid”, loved ones taken at will and sold-off as cattle, forced slave labor, demeaned, demonized, doubted, denied, denounced, downplayed, demoralized, discriminated, discredited, as public spectacles of racist humiliations and as victims of racist propagandas, whipped, molested, experimented upon, deprived academically, deprived socially/morally, deprived economically, pillaged, sufferers of broken/damaged spirits and a host of other heinous acts against black humanity (or humanity of color in general), done by Sick-Minded Neuromelanin-Deficient Psychotically Racist Genetically-Recessive, Demagogic, Innately-Demonic Imbecilic race of traditionally racist whites who’ve self-righteously saw no wrong in harming god-fearing race of people of color known (with historical evidence) for their acts of never-ending nonviolent missions for general world peace.
Under such extreme biases, it is unsurprising realizing that no matter what good becomes of anyone of color, namely the blacks, there will be hardened traditionally white racists and their “want-to-be’s” who’ll find creative ways to tear it down and will concentrate more on anything negative of their targets even if so as to pacify their internalized psychotic needs for something to feel more superior than.
You’ll always have white group #1, driven by racial hatred that’ll cause the problems, followed by White group #2 that’ll only writes about the results of the problems cause by white group #1 and publish/release relative book/documents while knowingly exclude what white group #1 had done to in effect CAUSED the problem, then there’s white group #3 (the parrots) who’ll read what white group #2 wrote and then teaches and referrers to it as “TRUTHS” or “FACTS”.
(Because being in Book Form, calculatingly makes it appear more credible.)
The politics of racisms has lead to a paradigm that romances lies and deceit for its own fortifications. And so much so that it had lead to the bastardizations of the facts so grossly that it becomes believed especially by those seeking excuses to validate what they want so much to believe bad about anything or anyone whose different than themselves.
But within such a twisted mind hell-bent on maintaining its racially motivated denials, the facts can get skewed (Modified) to the point where the origins of truths becomes expunged and/or replaced by racial hate driven forgery.
This will then be followed by what should be expected of those who rely on racial hate driven forgeries as the facts, for their own convenience.

Who wrote:
Your entire list is composed of Negro myths.
Such myths usually originate in books or articles about black history. Since many of the authors have little interest in the history of technology outside of advertising black contributions to it, their stories tend to be fraught with misunderstandings, wishful thinking, or fanciful embellishments with no historical basis. The lack of historical perspective leads to extravagant overestimations of originality and importance: sometimes a slightly modified version of a pre-existing piece of technology is mistaken for the first invention of its type; sometimes a patent or innovation with little or no lasting value is portrayed as a major advance, even if there's no real evidence it was ever used.
Here is a comprehensive list of Negro invention MYTHS, with a corresponding list of the TRUE WHITE INVENTOR, which can be easily verified from the US patent office site:
http://www33.brinkster.com/iiiii/inventions/
*************************************************
NO! You're WRONG! carl, There are no Negro Myth here, else, credentials would have never been awarded to the so-called “Negroes” (who happen to be of prominent status) that pointed out these facts YOU and YOUR ILK are in denial of because it doesn’t “Jive” with the indoctrination you were “Raised up on” over your dinners table back home.
Also note, just because those whites you point out may hold the patents, this doesn’t validate themselves as being the origins from which those patents were derived. This is what happens when lies are historically told to replace historical truths and due-credits of origins aren’t rightfully rewarded where due solely because of one’s ethnicity of the era. This “Fudging of the facts” on your white parts to suit the racist ideals of the era has resulted in “only” the documentations of the patent “Holder” being recorded at the cost of the undocumented black slaves (or property, as they were considered), from whence and whom the patented ideas originated.
Those blacks invented exactly as stated and as reported!
YOU and those of YOUR ILK are the ones in denial of blacks accomplished anything meaningful (yet alone anything at all) whatsoever! Because YOUR KIND believes (as historically demonstrated) that they (The Blacks) “Aught not do that” whereas YOUR KIND would much rather the Blacks just be “good negroes” (by YOUR definition) and become subdued by your seemingly endless acts of racist pestilences while generally assuming the blacks should just slavishly catering only to your best of interests and/or biddings and be “self-defeatedly” happy with absolutely nothing more than a batch of Bananas as payment from you god-damned psychotically racist race of people.
(If you people had complete reign of your psychologically sick ways, you’d likely erase all of Africa, its people and descendents of anything and everything beyond YOUR OWN depictions of blacks just standing/sitting aimlessly around for YOUR target practices and as willing doormats of blame for your own sinful iniquities to be wiped-off upon.)
Blacks have Invented and/or Improved upon countless “everyday” items which "WHILE OWNED AS SLAVES" had also “BECOME” the "PROPERTY" of the whites who owned “THOSE BLACK SLAVES”.
And if you noticed, much of those so-called “PATENTED WHITE INVENTIONS” rose exponentially around about the time blacks were imported as slave laborers or servants of them, did they not?
Blacks, being the enslaved laborers, “WITH HANDS ON”, generally followed the basic human instincts to be more efficient in whatever one does on a repetitive bases.
If we might digress to anywhere from the free world to the confinements of the prison systems and elsewhere, lets take a look at even the inmates, blacks in this reference, have frequently demonstrated their inner-creative geniuses in and of that alone, in spite of their nature of systemically steered/orchestrated confinements. The innately creative elements of their minds was expressed even within the nature of what materials they’ve used to make weaponry however trivial it may be to point this out. Yet it takes an eloquently creative mind to look at a toothbrush (for example) and envision a means of turning it into something to protect one’s self with, yet alone to conceptualize what “other” tools must concoct for the construction while kept out of sight and out of mind of the watchful prison guards to do so, as well as how to use it, when to use it, where to hide it and more. Then from that trivial toothbrush come later improvements of many forms.
But remember, our point is regarding the creative mind, in and of itself.
Now just imagine that same black innovative mind systemically locked away in a prison cell, was instead properly resourced and/or educated while having access to the knowledge of quantum physics (for example). The Engine now driving the innate creativity within said black person’s mind, In and OF itself, HAS NEVER CHANGED! All that would change is the “TOOLS” and “LIBRARIES” available and/or accessible by said black persons. The fundamental results of creativity in and of itself would likely be no different than what happened to the “Tooth Brush”, except NOW it would be within quantum physics. And therefore, a mind truly “IS” a terrible thing to waste, especially behind bars. –Literally!
This Black expression of creativity also includes but not limited to, various hair styles, Arts, clothing, car alterations, break dancing techniques, song arrangements, the super soaker, the spinning hubcaps and more, but yet still had to come from a creative MIND, yet alone the psychological negotiations one makes along the way for whatever it took/takes to get it to work the way they want it to, (or as envisioned) within the best of the available knowledge/information/exposure/support at time of conception.
Likewise, this fundamental creativity of blacks was always expressed (however casually) in its varying forms throughout all of history to date! Although unfairly limited to and by the environments within which such TOOLS and LIBRARIES are drawn upon and from, it is yet still expressed “to-than-end” and often taken for granted, for what it is, which often overshadows the underlying eloquence of a creative mind that materialized something into inexistence where it did not exist before and/or limited by the lack or resources/exposure/education to go further with it.
Likewise, this was practiced among the slack slaves. Who’ve casually made various improvements/alterations to tools used, tasks performed and more with no other intent than to simply make whatever they were doing, to be more “Doable”, to be more “Productive” or for that matter, to be more “Efficient and/or Easier” and all with little to no resources at their disposal and without considering the marketability of what they’ve done to make things better for themselves along the way of their slave laborings.
However, on-looking white overseers “SAW” the benefits/improvements in tools and/or tasks created among the Black African Slave Laborers and then took it (stole it) to the next level as per having “BETTER” access to vast resources to do so, where those blacks they’ve enslaved were underprivileged of.
Although some blacks were murdered by their white overseers/masters by reasons of greed and/or to avoid the “then” racial embarrassments of claims to ideas/concepts and/or inventions/patents being of Negroid-Origins.
Other blacks were instead rewarded with special perks and clearances (passes) above their black enslaved peers while yet still “unaccredited” for their innovations/contributions, as for said blacks had no civil rights for they were not honored or considered as citizens and therefore unregistered/undocumented as citizens but only as the “Property” of their white slave owners who therefore assumed ownership of all ideas/concepts/product improvements and/or whatever else that is/was created by their “Black-Enslaved Properties” and THAT is WHY and HOW those whites went down in history with “THEIR NAMES” stamped on the said patents NOW in review/referenced TODAY and thus used as ammo to shoot down the credibility of the expunged Black Originators, who’ve seeded that which has lead to the said patents now in question.
This is what happens when RACIST WHITE LIES are historically told against the Blacks and then recorded as such which and remained unchallenged for centuries, until more recently.
Otherwise, by the time it’s in review, only what was “Documented and dated” (however falsified and/or historically bastardized), by those traditional whites in accordance to the commonly shared racist mindset of the era, becomes later argued as the facts, while the real truth remains ignored or hidden, which in turn, results in today’s conflicts of interests of the subject matter.
Ergo… * The LIES as it’s written VS the TRUTHS as it’s unhidden. *
You’re a race of hypocrites and driven by your own boogieman pissing around in circles within your own heads.
Nevertheless as traditional white racists are doing yet even NOW against President Obama, as they’ve “always” done throughout history to stand in the path of black progressions and then USE THAT to validate as proof to support what they want so much to believe negative of People of Color in general, namely the Blacks.
Blacks (for the time being), are easier targets for traditional white racists as well as for those mimicking white racists for acceptance, politically and otherwise.
Yet through it all, blacks (at the disapprovals of racist whites) are yet still making progresses as they continually recover, regain, repair and rebuild and more of all that was systemically manipulated from them over the course of several generations of white vindictiveness and from those following their fundamentally racist worldwide propaganda and/or demagoguery for acceptance and/or to “Fit IN”.

Max.....you make the point about Tuskegee Airman being a joke or not true. You really don't know anything about these brave men who put their lives on the line for your freedom. Furthermore, your hatred for African-American men is personal and is very unprofessional. Just so you know, I am a proud American Military Service Member having served as a U.S. MARINE and now Air Force; to include having earned a Bachelors of Science Degree and a Masters Degree. I belong to a proud and motivated Fighter Wing Unit that is helping to protect our nation from all potential airborne threats...yes, right here in North American. Your negative comments are so far out...you have no real sence of humility. I don't even know why I am even replying to your silly and stupid comments. Get a life and findout truth about things before you speak on them...The real heros are those men in Tuskegee.

Here is what makes Black Voices inept: When the hateful racists make comments, we lose our focus and start responding to them. Why don't we just ignore the crap. There are more responses to the agitators than there are to the subject matter. We are not going to change the way people think. This is making this site a joke.

Whether no bombers were shot down or more, this movie is to be more accurate than the first one. The main problem with the distractors of the Tuskegee Airmen is that hardly anyone had heard about them before the first movie. It was not accurate, but it did put the Tuskegee Airmen in the forefront as a entity that Hollywood ignored for 50 years. Do you really think all those movies of the 40's were accurate? Grow up. What is true, is that Jim Crow is/was accurate. If my father had not been a Tuskegee Airmen, I would have thought that John Wayne, Van Johnson or Erroll Flynn won the war single-handed. All of my uncles were also in World War II. Did they show any Blacks in any branch of the government? Not any movie I saw, and yet we fought in every war from the Revolutionary War to present. The Armed Forces weren't integrated until 1948. That's true. All movies take creative license. My father served honorably for close to 30 years in the Air Force and retired at the highest level that a Non-Commissioned Officer could serve. Most of the now 90 year old gentlemen of the Tuskegee Airmen received high rank and achieved much after retiring. They were exceptional men. Are exceptional men. It wasn't until 2007 that they received the Congressional Medal of Honor from George W Bush. So whether the movie is accurate or not, George Lucas has made a film and a documentary. This is a project he wanted to do for 20 years. George Lucas has his bona fides. Max, what have you done?

You've eloquently described the historical byproducts of white lies.
Except NOW, it's rapidly coming back to haunt them and many of them aren’t prepared for it.

HAIL!!! ALL AND MOST HIGH FATHER IN HEAVEN!!! HAIL!! ABUNDIDI, YOU SAID EXCEPTIONAL MEN AND I KNOW YOU KNOW YOU'RE RIGHT. HOW EXCEPTIONAL? LET THEM SEE {THE HUMAN VALUE RACIAL EQUALLITY WOULD HAVE BEEN} WHEN ADDED TO TRAINING EDUCTION AND OPPORTUNITY. THERE WERE 17,744 BOMBER SHOT DOWN DURING THE WAR. TWENTY FIVE(25) OF THEM WERE THOSE BEING ESCORTED BY THE FAMED AIRMEN. SUBTRACT 25 FROM 17,744 AND YOU GET 17,719 LEFT SHOT DOWN WHILE ESCORTED BY {WHITE FIGHTER PILOTS}. THERE WERE APPROXIMATELY {10 MEN PER BOMBER CREW}. LET'S MULTIPLY 1ST-BLACK PILOT ESCORT {25 TIMES 10} EQUALS(=) {250 MEN DIED}. WHITE ESCORT {17,719 TIMES 10} EQUALS(=) {177,190 MEN DIED}. THAT'S A 1 TO 70.976 RATIO OF BLACK PILOTS TO WHITE PILOTS IN THE UNITES STATES AIR FORCE IN TERMS OF PLANES. HUMANS--FOR EVERY ONE DEAD PILOT FROM THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN THERE WERE 709.76 FOR THE REST OF THE BOMBER ESCORT FORCE OR 1 TO 709.76 RATIO. THAT'S INCREDIBLE. THAT'S WHY THE BOMBER PILOTS WANTED THE TUSKEGEE AIRMEN TO ESCORT THEM BUT COULD'T GET THEIR COMMAND TO DO IT.

HAIL!!!! OH YAWEH ALYON(LORD MOST HIGH)!!!! KEEP ME GOING!!!! HAIL!! BEAUTIFUL, COURAGEOUS, LOVING PEOPLE OF THE RAINBOW COLORS OF THE SEPIA SPECTRUM!!---OUR TUSKEGEE AIRMEN, FLYING----AFRICAN EXPERIMENTAL AERONAUTICS: A 2,000-YEAR-OLD MODEL GLIDER, BY DR. KHALIL MESSIHA, GUIRGUIS MESSIHA, DR. GAMAL MOKHTAR, AND MICHEAL FRENCHMAN. DR. KHALIL MESSIHA'S DISCOVERY INDICATES THAT THE "EGYPTIANS" WERE EXPERIMENTING WITH FLYING MACHINES AS EARLY AS THE 4TH OR 3RD B.C. THIS EXTRAORDINARY SCIENTIFIC MODEL WAS PLACED AMOUNG THE "MODELS OF BIRDS IN ROOM 22", "BEARING NO. 6347", IN THE "EGYPTIAN MUSEUM". IT DATES BACK TO LATE PERIOD EGYPT, HUNDREDS OF YEARS B.C. THE MODEL ATTRACKED THE ATTENTION OF A SCIENTIST AS IT WAS VERY MUCH LIKE THE "AREOSPACE MODELS HE USED TO MAKE SOME 20 YEARS AGO". IT WAS DISCOVERED IN "SAKKARA IN 1898" AND IS MADE OF "SYCAMORE WOOD". IT IS A MODEL OF A "MONOPLANE" AND WEIGHS 39.120GRAMS OR.086 POUNDS OR 1.38 OUNCES OR A "LITTLE HEAVERIER THAN 10 PENNIES". THE WING IS MADE OF ONE PIECE OF WOOD, AND ITS SPAN IS EXACTLY 18CENTIMETERS(CM) OR 7.087 INCHES. THE PART OF THE WING OVER THE BODY OF THE PLANE IS THE THICKEST AT 8 MILLIMETERS(MM) OR .8 OF AN INCH. THEN IT TAPERS IN THICKNESS TOWARDS THE TIPS. ONE CAN ALSO NOTE THE DIHEDRAL ANGLE WHICH IS SLIGHTLY UNEQUAL ON BOTH SIDES DUE TO SLIGHT DISTORTION OF THE WOOD, CAUSED BY PASSAGE OF TIME. THE BODY IS MADE OF THE SAME WOOD AS THE WING AND HAS AN "AEROFOIL SHAPE" BEAUTIFULLY CARVED AND SMOOTH. IT INCREASES IN THICKNESS AS IT MOVES TOWARDS THE TAIL, AND THE THICKEST PART IS HOLDING THE WING. IT HAS A HEART SHAPED SECTION, THEN THE BODY GETS SLIMMER ASSUMING A COMPRESSED FISH(BODY)SHAPE AND HAS AN ELLIPTICAL IN ITS TWO THIRDS. THE LAST 3RD IS THE TAIL WHICH IS THE INTERGRAL PART OF THE BODY. THERE IS A RECTANGULAR GROVED PART TO HOLD THE WING WHICH IS 3CENTIMETERS(CM) OR 1.18 INCHES IN LENGTH. THE UPPER SURFACE OF THE WING IS FLUSH WITH THE BODY. THE PART OF THE BODY JOINING THE TAIL IS 1.8(CM) OR .71 INCHES HIGH, AND THE ENTIRE BODY MEASURES 14(CM) OR 5.51 INCHES FROM NOSE TO TAIL. THE TAIL IS NEARLY RECTANGULAR IN SHAPE. IT'S 3(CM) OR 1.181 INCHES HIGH AND ABOUT 4(MM) OR .157 INCHES THICK AND HAS AN UPRIGHT POSITION. THE LOWEST PART OF THE TAIL WAS BROKEN WHICH WAS THOUGHT IN EVIDENCE THAT THE TAIL WAS ATTACHED THERE. IT IS ALSO NOTED THAT THERE WAS NO TRACE OF ANY DECORATION OF "FEATHERS" PAINTED ON THE BODY WITH THE EXCEPTION OF THE EYE, AND 2 FAINT REDDISH LINES SURROUNDING THE BELLY UNDER THE GROOVES. THERE WERE ALSO NO LEGS OR MARKS TO SUGGEST ANY FITTINGS AS ON THE OTHER BIRD MODELS OF ANCIENT EGYPT. "FLIGHT ENGINEER" GUIRGUIS MESSIHA PRESENTED THE FOLLOWING COMMENT: "THE NEGATIVE DIHEDRAL ANGLE OF THIS MODEL HAS THE SAME EFFECT OF A POSITIVE DIHEDRAL ANGLE GIVING GOOD EFFECT ON THE FLIGHT OF THE MODEL. THE WING SECTION SHOWS THAT THE WING SURFACE IS PART OF AN ELLIPSE, WHICH GIVES STABILITY IN FLIGHT. GENERALLY THE BODY IS AN AEROFOIL SHAPE WHICH LESSENS THE DRAG, A FACT THAT HAS BEEN DISCOVERED AFTER "YEARS OF EXPERIMENTAL WORK IN AERONAUTICS". QUOTE THE ENGINEER--"I HAVE ALREADY MADE A SIMLAR BALSA WOOD MODEL, AND ADDED THE TAILPLANE (WHICH I WAS NOT ASTONISHED TO FIND THAT IT COULD SAIL IN THE AIR FOR A FEW YARDS WHEN THROWN BY HAND. 1) THE MAKER OF THIS MODEL MADE SEVERAL MODELS BEFORE HE COULD REACH THE "FINE FINISHING" APPARENT IN OUR MODELS. 2) THIS ANCIENT AEROPLANE MODEL REPRESENTS A DIMINUTIVE OF AN ORIGINAL MONOPLANE STILL PRESENT IN SAKKARA. 3) THE NAME OF THE INVENTOR OF THIS MODEL IS "PA-DI-IMEN" WHICH MEANS THE "GIFT OF AMON". REMEMBEER ALSO THE WORD "EGYPT", AS DEFINED AND RESEARCHED IN THE ORIGINAL AFRICAN HERITAGE STUDY BIBLE, KING JAMES VERSION, MEANS "BLACK". SO "EGYPTAIN" MEANS....WELL YOU KNOW THAT ONE.FOR THE BIBLE BY CAIN FELDER, PHD--ISBN-978-0-8170-1511-4(PAPER BACK:ALK. PAPER) AND ISBN-978-0-8170-1512-1(LEATHERETTE: ALK.)

I wonder max, did the red tails shoot down someone in your family and you're still mad? Perhaps Hitler was your great uncle's grandfather or some crap. But regardless, what the Tuskegee Airmen proved that even without the same training they were proven pilots. Now think, if the training was equal between everyone the war probably would not lasted as long and maybe, just maybe the "56 thousand white airmen lost in Europe during WWII" would only be 20 thousand, who knows. Your comments just goes to show that people like you even in the 21st century are still trying to hold us back, but you can't nor will you ever.
