When I went to school and they came to talk of all the great achievements of black Americans, the best they could come up with is George Washington Carver inventing peanut butter. Is that the extent of black American ingenuity in this country? Making a few condiments with peanuts? They spoke of him more than they spoke of important presidents such as Andrew Jackson or Thomas Jefferson. Is George Washington Carver the greatest example of Black Americans in the world? Because he was all they could tell. I guess now we have O-bσɱb-a but I went to school before he was elected.
Shame on you. Your ignorance is not very becoming. Obviously, you weren’t a very bright student. Had you paid attention in class, or were even smart enough to double check what you thought to be true before you displayed your stupidity for all the world to see, you might have learned that George Washington Carver discovered Penicillin. Or should I say, he discovered the process of mass producing Penicillin from peanuts.
The next time you or a family member is sick and needs Penicillin, Amoxicillin, Augmentin...etc... say a prayer for the happy repose of GWC and thank the Good Lord for the wisdom that he gave him that made your medicine available.
Also remember these thoughts of St Don Bosco before you speak...I paraphrase...
“Is kind?
Is it true?
Does it need to be said?”
Also, the words of Thumpers’ mother from the movie Bambi... “If ya can’t say something nice than don’t say something at all”.
