It's not racially discrimination alone, but HATE also.

"Kenner never made any money from the sanitary belt, because her patent expired and became public domain, allowing it to be manufactured freely. She later invented a modification of the sanitary belt that included a "moisture resistant pocket."
👀 How was it racist of her patent expired
This has been happening since the dawn of inventions.

Racism impacted us financially. To hell with 48 acres and a mule let us get our money for our inventions!

Imagine if the Americans hadn't denied her the right to patent her creation and had allowed her just like any white people to collect royalties from the patent and passed on those rights to her children. Then we could have a rich black family with old money who can be of inspiration to other black people
