Nigger Rigged ?

I have a neighbor who is always coming up with cheaper ways to do everything.
Some of his ideas are pretty lame but some could be turned into marketable products.
(No, the photo above was not one of his inventions - it was jack from the Internet.)
The thing is - most products were improvised solutions to existing problems.

When some from the larger demographic comes up with such a "solution", history will remember him as being a Macgyver-like pragmatist.

When I see a solution that someone else may call "Nigger Rigged" - I see a solution that I call, "African American Ingenuity" or a "Prototype for a Improvised Solution".

Bill Gates was the best (worst) Nigger Rigger on the planet.

Mr Gates created (stole) a product which wasn't new.

Mr Gates' product was just a platform which sat on top of the original OS and made it easier for regular people to use..

Did these guys "Nigger Rig" a form of transportation or were they working on a prototype for a car?

Did this guy 'invent' the first modern airplane in the West or did he just "Nigger Rig" a bicycle?

And don't even get me started on Bell or Edison or the first white guy who 'invented' a way to perform the first surgery on the human heart.
