[quote:96b31]Here at the University of Arizona the Center for African American Studies made a small museum lined with accomplishments from Blacks in science, academics, military history, social reform, literature, etc. I have lost count of how many times I heard:
"I didn't know that a black man helped invent that. . ."
"Blacks fought in the American Revolution. . .?"
"Some of the most decorated units in our military history were black units. . .?
"I love that guys music, i didn't know he was black. . ."

This is interesting logic, by considering we are all homo-sapiens and have the same physiological and mental capacities(generally speaking), then anyone of any race should be able to acomplish feats like these, given they put work into something. But by infering it took something special to do these things seems to me like they are making black people sound inferior inadvertently...
