    From this 2016 article
    http://www.unz.com/isteve/great-moments-in-google-american-inventors/
    If you go to Google and type in American inventors you get back from Google pictures of the top American inventors of all time.
    Try it. Go to www.google.com and type in "American inventors".

    In the first page of photos, only 1 is a white European (Thomas Edison). In the first 25 inventors, 6 are white Europeans, 19 are African American. Really?

    The Wright Brothers are #45 on the list, and Steve Jobs is #49.

    So who are some of these African American inventors who are more important than Steve Jobs and the Wright Brothers?

    #1 is George Washington Carver. OK, not someone to be #1 (lots of inventions, but little that changed the world) but he's certainly an inventor.

    #2 is Garret Morgan, his big inventions were an early gas mask (not the gas mask inventor though) , the traffic light, and a hair straightener. Again, not anything that changed the world.

    #3 is a real stunner, Lewis Latimer. What did he invent? Nothing. He was a draftsman, he had his name on 2 patents as co-developer, one being a better filament for the light bulb. And this guy is on the list as #3?

    #4 Elijah Mccoy, 57 patents related to the steam engine. He is the source for the phrase "the real McCoy". Certainly an inventor who contributed to the improvement of the steam engine. But #4 of American inventors? Nope.

    #5, Madam C J Walker, started a business in hair care and beauty products, became very wealthy. A successful person, but beauty and hair care is more important than the airplane, the computer, the telephone, more significant than Einstein and Tesla? Hardly.

    #6, Thomas Edison. Inventions include the light bulb, battery, electric power transmission, phonograph, motion picture projector, fluoroscope, new rubber sources.

    #7, Lonnie Johnson, inventor of the super soaker water gun. A successful career in govt, and a successful man, but #7?

    #8 Patricia Bath, holds a patent on a laser device used in cataract surgery. She developed a single medical device. And she is #8?


    You can check the rest on your own, the point is clear.

    Google is biased and has clearly fudged the list of "American inventors". Most of these inventors are unknown, their inventions are not world changing. A few are not even inventors.

    If google is willing to make such a blatantly wrong list of "American Inventors", what else are they faking and censoring?

    How far into the political correct foolishness does google go?
