The man who invented the greatest water gun of all time, the Super Soaker(#BlackHistoryMonth)

[cainvelasquez]

My only memory of the super soaker is that my mom couldn't afford it. I had some shitty water gun with inferior range, while other kids got these supersoaker. Getting out gunned by some of these super soakers got me thinking This ain't livin'.

I'm just gonna say we as blacks have created way more than a super soaker water gun. I can't really applaud this dude for a simple invention like that.

We kinda did invent Air conditioning and the refrigerator or Thomas L. Jennings was the first black man to receive a patent. The patent was awarded on March 3, 1821 (US Patent 3306x) for his discovery of a process called dry-scouring which was the forerunner of today’s modern dry-cleaning. - See more at:http://www.blackpast.org/aah/jennings-thomas-l-1791-1856#sthash.EaPu5Ehz.dpuf

I could keep going but I already did a whole thread on it before. Maybe I'm hating on the super soaker, I had one too; but when comparing a super soaker to inventions of going outer space or detecting gravitational waves it kinda is laughable to mention a super soaker
