why does america refuse to acknowledge the contributions and achievements of black people?
>>532306956the lack of real world contributions and achievements probably
>>532306956digital (and even analog) computers to compute rocket trajectories existed since the 40s.the redditor doesn't know this
>>532306956It's not February
>>532306956Black people haven't accomplished anyhing
>>532306956this is the black woman the movie is about btw
>>532306956Hollywood is these people’s religion. If it happened in a movie then it happened in real life
>>532306956>contributionsriots
>>532307306I heard that apparently black lady calculator caught a mistake the computer made. I wonder if it was true and if the computer error would have even made a difference.
>>532307802The one so black, they forgot to put her in the movie.
>>532307306those were digital and analog black niggas
>>532307802Oh, she got that good hair
>>532308308Not quite. She fed the data cards into the machine and double checked the instructions others made. Yes, that does involve finding minor errors all the time, it's the job. Basically equivalent to a low level coder now. Keep in mind since computers were task specific and very prone to issues then, the astronauts had to be able to do calculus trajectory equations on the fly if something went wrong in flight and at times did.
electronic computers were literally invented to do the calculations for the manhattan project a quarter of a century before the moon landings
>>532306956All they did was pick cotton in the south.
>>532312183yup here she is
>>532306956Those "black" women were quadroons at best and literally nothing more than glorified adding machines. They did exactly ZERO calculations themselves and only crunched numbers provided to them.
>>532306956Now they have computers with jeet softwares....oh dear...your astronauts are all dead.
