re: New image released of the planned Harriet Tubman $20

That’s so freaking stupid

Putting George Washington Carver on the 20$, I mean he did bring about peanut butter.

This is the biggest fib ever that I have to debunk every February.

Peanut butter is simply roasted peanuts ground up. It’s been around since the ancient Aztecs and Incas

quote:

In 1884 Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Canada patented peanut paste, the finished product from milling roasted peanuts between two heated surfaces. In 1895 Dr. John Harvey Kellogg (the creator of Kellogg’s cereal) patented a process for creating peanut butter from raw peanuts. He marketed it as a nutritious protein substitute for people who could hardly chew on solid food. In 1903, Dr. Ambrose Straub of St. Louis, Missouri, patented a peanut-butter-making machine.

It is bad. The thousands of black slave owners in the US were pissed they had to give up their slaves. New Orleans alone had 3,000 free black men who owned slaves in 1860.

Now if we can only do something about those current African countries today that still has slavery.

Good Lord you are freaking stupid.

Well while you were too busy using your word of the day, which was obviously dumb, you completely missed the point. The point was - that they plan on replacing the previous face of the $20, with a black woman who is a prominent figure in the history of slavery. Are you telling me that has noting to do with race???? If they are choosing someone bc of their racial ethnicity, therefore that is an example of racism. Just as it would be shoved down our throat would they EXCLUDE someone bc of their race. ( assuming they were not white, bc then it would be justice.)

And wtf does this have to do with abortions, Other than more black babies are aborted than any other race??? Unless that was that your point, good job.

Andrew Jackson still pissing off Zionist bankers, gotta love it!

frick your fiat currency.

George Washington Carver did not invent mashed up peanuts.

He had many other valid contributions to agriculture without falsely spreading the notion that no one had mashed up peanuts before.

His role in history being reduced to a falsehood denigrates his actual contributions.


I taught African American history and American history and the biggest issue I had and tried to convey to my students is that there is no “African American History” any more than there is “white history”

There is the history, Bloody and ugly, of peoples that came before us, in different times, from different places, and did things that which by modern standards seem terrible.


But that can be applied to man since we first picked up a sharp rock. The legacy of man is slayers and stealers, rapers and reavers.

Always we’ve tried to cloak our violence in shrouds of tribe or creed or ideology, but ultimately there are only 2 types of peoples. The conquered and the conquerers.

On every continent through every age, no different.

And yet in the most narrow view of a smidgen of an interminable history, certain people seize upon one bleak yet common period, treat it in isolation and ignorance, and try to apply the craziest modern mores to it.

Pandering benefits no one. Embellishing the achievements While downplaying the negatives doesn’t help anyone in the long run either.

America a place of many peoples. We came here many different ways and faced many different struggles. But to treat us as separate is a falsehood. People have always been bound to each other. Sins of the past don’t absolve sins of the future and creating a false narrative to give some inflated sense of accomplishment doesn’t benefit anyone Long term.




TL;DR

Put her face on the five dollar bill and I'll be all for it.
