This is a response video to video MTV put up regarding inventions invented by African Americans. Is this response video accurate in asserting that MTV mentioned a ton of inaccuracies about inventions and their inventors?
He brought up some points but MTV didn't say black people invented this or that just said they made important contributions to the inventions of many of the above. As a Brit he wouldn't understand that they were talking about basketball shoes which are very in, at the moment, Specifically Lebron's, KD's, Kobe's and especially Jordan's. I wouldn't call him a racist but he started pointing out things like this or that person was mixed (that means if he was mixed and their were no black people he may as well not exist) then at the end I was just like okay????
Also MTV didn't really discredit any of the other inventors they just said that this black person co invented this or that or was part of this or that invention. I mean if they are trying to make a point including that the other co-inventors were white doesn't really make sense? It is a given the other co-inventors were not black. The only one that wasn't true at all was the first openhearted surgery.

Because they didn't list them as co-inventors, I think that is where the divergence was.
