Whites have never solely invented anything

Mass makes several arguments. 1) "No one invented fire, or wood, or stone, or metal or oil. These are elements that are native to this planet. These are things to be utilized, not invented." 2) "This is a false premise because no one is certain of the first "Race" of humans. New science is coming in now that suggests that Africa may in fact NOT be the birthplace of humanity...So it is possible, that even though some of these things MAY have arisen first out of Africa, that the first people to utilize these things could have been white skinned people." 3) "just because a tool is predated the earliest, does not mean that it is the first time it has been used. It just means it is the earliest DISCOVERY." 4) "I would like to note that Wikipedia is not a reliable source, and should not be counted as a credible proof..anyone can go in and update, or change and edit wikipedia sources." So now I'll address them. 1) First, "fire," "wood," "stone," and "oil" are not elements, they are compounds and a chemical reaction. Second, based on what Mass said was the definition of invention, "The act of finding out..." Voters should also remember that I didn't say non-whites invented wood, I said they invented woodworking, which is the technology of making useful tools from wood, which was first invented by birds and then humans. However, I don't think birds count as "white people." The same applies to all 5 examples. The technology of using those things were invented by non-white. 2) We don't have to be certain that they started in Africa, only that they didn't come from Europe. If they came from Asia, that is still non-white. 3) Mass is basically claiming that I'm making an appeal to ignorance. This is totally not the case, as seen in the source, appeal to ignorance only applies when something is not throughly studied or tested. When something is investigated, it makes for a logically strong assumption. However, if my opponent still rejects logic, we can use the same argument against every example he could possibly point out. We could, and should, just say that just because the Scottish are the first that we know of inventing golf, doesn't mean that pre-historic cavemen didn't invent it and just haven't been found yet.

And you can change wiki, if you want your IP address posted to the internet when I can totally just revert any changes you make back to a previous, accurate article. But apart from that, blind study peer reviews has shown that Wikipedia is just as accurate as Britannica. But, if Mass still doesn't like it, let me just pull the sources from wiki and copy and paste them. (2)(3)(4)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11) That addresses those concerns and brings us back to showing that nothing is solely a white invention, it is either rooted in Africa, the Middle East, or Southern Asia, all of which are non-white.
