Did these words develop new meanings?
No, it is just right-wing echo chamber idiocy.

Garrett Morgan contributed to modern firefighting and military technology to save lives. He also made improvement to the current traffic signals at the time which was just stop and go and added what would become the yellow caution warning that the stop was about to appear.
Of those I would list George Washington Carver as forgotten by history.

I'd put in a word for Jesus. The Jesus found in the four Gospels has somehow been morphed into a politically correct Marxist/Globalist who loves Talmudic Jews, homosexuals, feminists, et cetera.

Of course the real Jesus should be considered by today's moral standards to have been an anti-semite, sexist, racist and homophobe.


The real Jesus has been forgotten, and most Christians appear to worship a deity not resembling the Jesus found in the New Testament.

Nikola Tesla, and it is not even close.
He is the most important human in history when we talk real life improvement progress!

Just think about it, until Tesla humans progress was minimal and this is for thousands of years.

Because of Tesla we have the induction motor/generator (development of AC (alternating current) power systems).
Tesla is the reason we have an electrical grid and rest of conveniences that came out of it.


Human progress took a sharp advance in the last 100 years after almost being stagnant for ten of thousands of years before Tesla.

All real progress (AC being the starting point) happen after Nikola Tesla inventions - read about him!
There are still some of his inventions that are under veil of secrecy - a lot of info about him on YouTube, etc.

No one has forgotten George Washington.

What??

Are you saying there are no forgettable great people from those areas? That there was no great confederate, or no forgotten but great Californian, Virginian or Texan? How about Sally Ride...wasn't she a school teacher as well as an astronaut? How about ALL the firemen and police who died heroically on 9/11? How about Steve Buschemi, who was a volunteer firefighter turned actor, who volunteered his services in on 9/11?

I don't know who I'd name. They're forgotten and so I don't know them.

How many millions of his own countrymen died so this ruthless megalomaniac could size total power.
How 'bout that "Great Leap Forward", wonderful ideas; most Chinese must have been thrilled trying to make steel in their own back yard.
Plus he had terrible teeth and raped hundreds of young girls.
