Brother Dr. George Washington Carver: The "Peanut" Man

Hol' up! Let me tell you people something, especially White people. no offense. just real talk, here). George Washington Carver did NOT invent friggin' peanut butter! The makers of Jif did. Look, this man wasn't a food manufacturer. He was a scientific genius, a true innovator. So, let us dispel this untruth by looking at some of his accomplishments, shall we? All of which you either use, have used or will use at some time in your life or know someone who does. Not to mention the fact that he declined an invitation to work for a salary of more than $100,000 a year (almost a million today) to continue his research on behalf of his countrymen. profiters of peanut butter, as highly vendible as it is, would NEVER DO THAT! Here we go...

 As an agricultural chemist, Carver discovered three hundred uses for peanuts and hundreds more uses for soybeans, pecans and sweet potatoes. He suggested to southern farmers to help them economically were his recipes and improvements to/for: adhesives, axle grease, bleach, buttermilk, chili sauce, fuel briquettes, ink, instant coffee, linoleum, mayonnaise, meat tenderizer, metal polish, paper, plastic, pavement, shaving cream, shoe polish, synthetic rubber, talcum powder and wood stain.and he only applied for 3 patents: cosmetics, plants, & stains.

Now, maybe it's me, but, I don't see jack shiggidy on this list about peanut butter. Do you? A. Know YOUR History; NOT HIS-story...real talk...inmymind...
