Scorching hot take: Whites invented guns to kill from a distance because they're most cowardly race

We at Twitchy usually try to stick to the blue-checkmark crowd when it comes to scorching hot takes, but once in awhile someone comes up with a take so “China Syndrome” hot that we have to air it out before it melts through the Earth’s core.

We’re always glad to learn about history, so it was an eye-opener to learn from @british_woman that whites invented guns because they’re the most cowardly and weak race. And as if any more proof was needed, she included a still shot from “Black Panther” with nary a gun in sight.

So the more brave races fought using arm-to-arm combat or close contact spears?

This take is core of the sun hot. https://t.co/hKYAb830Ao

She does know Black Panther isn't a documentary, right? https://t.co/k2pjDu8IxB

Wrong. Africans fought with bows and javelins, adopting firearms with the advent of that tech.

You might also want to rethink using an image from a film where some characters use high-powered energy cannons.

Lastly, Chinese invented the hand cannon and Turks popularized guns. https://t.co/1WBB62zmFE

Sorry about what happened to you, but it was the Chinese who invented what would become the "gun" about 1100AD. This was then refined by muslims who used a cannon against mongols in about 1400. Europeans merely refined what was already in use. Next….. https://t.co/852IFzAAjK

The invention of firearms is probably one of the easiest facts of history to trace. It's an area Europeans were late in the game and traded for like all the other groups who adopted it's use.

This is an early World History subject ? https://t.co/lfMrgVbIfv

Roman legionaries, Greek hoplites, Celts, Norsemen, Huns, Ostrogoths, Vandals, and the Crusaders would like to be excused from this criminally ignorant narrative. https://t.co/FhRWGT21Br

This is so insanely ahistorical that I’m convinced it’s parody. https://t.co/x0SvnMGynW

Doesn't get origin of firearms. Argues it, in fact. Doesn't get distance weapons like bow and arrow. Doesn't get the notion of creating a weapon as a tactical advantage, much like armour, tactics, etc. Has obviously never had to struggle in any conflict, so thinks it's bad to win https://t.co/hAydAEk88e

Please read “Guns, Germs and Steel” by Jarod Diamond who literally explains progress through geography and resources lmao

But by your logic, progressive tech is cowardly so throw away your phone and write letters. https://t.co/9VCXlTlg70
