I’m gonna go ahead & list some “black jobs”: Inventing the mailbox, the traffic light, the clothes dryer, the gas mask, the pacemaker, the modern toilet, providing the 1st immortalized cell line, providing free labor for centuries to build the US, and so many more “jobs.”

You can’t moderate a debate if you are unable to at least pushback on outrageous lies.
