Dr. Philip Emeagwali
Inventor of the World’s Fastest Computer…because of bees.
The noted black inventor received acclaim based, at least in part, on his study of nature, specifically bees. Emeagwali saw an inherent efficiency in the way bees construct and work with honeycomb and determined computers that emulate this process could be the most efficient and powerful.
In 1989, emulating the bees’ honeycomb construction, Emeagwali used 65,000 processors to invent the world’s fastest computer, which performs computations at 3.1 billion calculations per second.
That feat led to computer scientists comprehending the capabilities of supercomputers and the practical applications of creating a system that allowed multiple computers to communicate. He is recognized as one of the fathers of the Internet.
So a Black person invented the internet.
Even CNN believes it»
im tellin u, all the answers are found in nature. and Africans are wizards at emulating natural processes to create the most majestic inventions in the world.

No one in their right mind would say that, right?
Oh… wait.

Conclusion: Threatening to nuke the internet = bad, bad idea.
Follow Fight for the Future and AmericanCensorship.org for updates. Just because it’s been shelved doesn’t mean it can’t come back. Also, there’s ACTA, which is SOPA/PIPA on steroids:
Anonymous’ hijinks may be amusing, but censorship is real. Stay vigilant and stay informed, folks. You never know what shit they’ll say next.
