Why won't he admit that?

Notice the hypocrisy.

1. When white people do something good like an invention

They want all the spotlight and they don't try and prove that history shows that black people have been just as inventive.

2. When white people do something bad like slavery

They don't want the spotlight and they try and prove that history shows that black people have been just as evil and slaved just as many.

The main difference between slavery and invention is that one is considered immoral, the other not.

Whites want to claim and take pride in the good things from their past (inventions made, battles won, rights fought for) but then act as if the bad things have nothing to do with them (slavery, genocide and rights not fought for)

But you cannot have it both ways.

If inventions are proof of the intelligence of whites, then slavery and genocide are proof of the great evil of whites. You cannot claim one without the other.

Or: If slavery and genocide came about through the workings of human nature under a particular set of circumstances – if anyone else would have done the same thing – then the same goes for the inventions too.

So why the excuses?

Because part of you're sense of self worth is built on being white and how whites are so great.
