TIL the first successful heart surgery was performed in 1893, by a black american surgeon that opened the first black owned and operated hospital in the USA.

Ah I did not know the difference, you are correct

Edit I fixed the title thank you

I made a video about how I learned about the guy. I thought the card record was neat.

I think everyone is, especially the people who are thought of as less capable by the colour their skin

Brown skinned and for present day things I'd say race shouldn't matter... But for fucking 1893? Just 30 years after the civil war? Can you imagine the challenges they faced in society during that time? It was probably double or triple as hard to get where they were vs if a white man had followed the same path.

It doesn't. This surgeon was motivated enough to help people that he opened his own practice to do it, and that motivation helped people.

The thing is that people think (let's face it, it's not thought) that POC are somehow less intelligent.

It has seemed for years that, with a large population of people with a superiority complex over others, Americans keep feeling the need to convince everyone that non-white people are, and have always been, just as useful and talented as white people.

Another take is "Breaking! People achieve things.. And some of those people have skin tones darker than pure ivory. Amaze!"

what's interesting in this case is the year, 1893, people were really racist back then

ditto but for me it's the constant men vs women sex rage bait
