A year later me too

[@TreeFreak]

Me as well.

[@aaronpartridge5275]

Ditto, an amazing intellectual. Imagine our life without refrigerated trucks or grocery store, this man should be celebrated daily. Instead they prop up race baiters like al sharp-tongued sharpton, to coin another great black man "amazing".

Came here as a result of Buzzfeed's failure

[@ChangedWinds]

A combat veteran of the Great War, inventor of so many incredible life changing pieces of technology that altered the world dramatically. Why hasn't he been awarded the Presidential Medal of Freedom?!

Absolutely amazing man.

Fred Jones and Alabama’s George Washington Carver were two of America’s top inventors. Outstanding results

[@brentbarham3157]

Alabama's?

[@brentbarham3157]

You mean Missouri, I've been to the museum and statue in diamond.

[@HVACSoldier]

@@brentbarham3157 George Washington Carver was born in Missouri, but attended college in Iowa, before he went to Tuskegee. And no George Washington Carver did NOT invent peanut butter.

[@tmill2001]

His words are great advice in any time! All American people should work to emulate some of the "old fashion" or "old school" entrepreneurs. Not like the get rich quick people of today. Our country would be great again regardless of who is the titular head!

Why this stories never been told to the public?

[@biga4135]

Alot of people don't realize that Thermo king was Invented and started by a black man...oh yea and the snow mobile

[@leslieragland1206]

Was he compensated for any of his inventions

[@charleswood2765]

Hell Yeah

[@kirkb2665]

Fred Jones didn't build the first refrigerated truck. Those already existed. He built a refrigerated trailer that was separable from the truck pulling it. So those big rigs you see on the highways pulling big trailers. He build a refrigerated trailer, but not the first refrigerated shipping truck.

[@theonlyEYEBROWKING]

He was born in cincinnati, moved to Kentucky, then back to Cincinnati, then his Minnesota

How much was he worth?

[@Radoslavs12]

he only put someones else invention into truck. same as who first put radio receiver into car.

[@SkitsInfinity]

I see where you are coming from. The refrigerator had been around as early as 1913 and even earlier when you dive into the tech that establishes the base functions. When it comes down to who invented what, there is always so much more to uncover.

[@iamchillydogg]

What he came up with was the world's first system for refrigerated transportation. It never says he invented refrigeration.

[@biga4135]

Radoslav you really need to pay attention....he was the inventor of MOBILE REFRIGERATION AND THE FOUNDER OF thermo king.... black excellence✊🏿✊🏿

[@babagandu]

@@biga4135 using white inventions 🤣🤣

[@Kreedo1110]

@@babagandu Yes but he still invented something entirely new that no one have thought of prior, and his inventions changed the way people transport frozen items and food in general. White people or people in general just do not like to see a Black man succeeding, and when he does they think of a asinine excuse on how it wasn’t made by a Black man or how they leveraged off of someone else’s invention when not a single white man even thought about creating a freezer truck.

[@argus4650]

Maybe with climate change they can finally sell refrigerators in Siberia.

[@kosuekonnkiane5290]

But he is black man inventer in America

[@tonebanderas]

Why is this great man, referred to as black African American? He was born in Cincinnati, Ohio to a white father and black mother. He is an American. Also, why are mixed-race people considered black?

[@MegaErnieMAN]

I thought something might be up, interesting we both know the answer to that

[@biga4135]

He's black deal with it..... Because hes black gene's over power his white and he was dark skin

[@biga4135]

@@babagandu don't we all... it's not our fault our language was Stripped away from us During slavery

[@marcuswilliams1809]

Because in the early 20th century. It didn't matter if he had a white father. The went by the One Drop Rule if you had even just a qtr of African blood you were considered black and treated as second class citizen it's not like today. Back than on his father side some relatives would not even give him recognition as family. His on family would not call him white mixed anything else only black.
