Yeah, even I know that it was invented by George Washington Carver, a black dude, and I'm only 12, so...

The Aztecs invented peanut butter. Just like Tupac Shakur is the name of an Inca warrior, Timbuctu was built by arabs and filled with arab texts and the ancient egyptians were as arab as they are today, peanut butter is an attempt by afrocentrists to steal other people's culture. They enjoy stealing things.

GTFO YOU FAGIT
Peanut wasn't invented by a nigger
Peanuts, which are native to the New World tropics, were mashed into paste by Aztecs hundreds of years ago. Evidence of modern peanut butter comes from US patent #306727 issued to Marcellus Gilmore Edson of Montreal, Quebec in 1884, for a process of milling roasted peanuts between heated surfaces until the peanuts reached "a fluid or semi-fluid state." As the product cooled, it set into what Edson described as "a consistency like that of butter, lard, or ointment." In 1890, George A. Bayle Jr., owner of a food business in St. Louis, manufactured peanut butter and sold it out of barrels. J.H. Kellogg, of cereal fame, secured US patent #580787 in 1897 for his "Process of Preparing Nutmeal," which produced a "pasty adhesive substance" that Kellogg called "nut-butter."

Peanut butter might not have been invented by a nigger, but that nigger DID tinker with peanut and plant uses, conduct research, promote self-sufficiency of Sambos in agriculture, and further the technological advancement of peanut and plant usage (including a treatment for polio - massaging with peanut oil - that turned out to gain its effectiveness from the massage rather than the peanut oil).

* Most of Carver's peanut and sweet potato creations were either unoriginal, impractical, or of uncertain effectiveness. No product born in his laboratory was widely adopted.
* The boom years for Southern peanut production came prior to, and not as a result of, Carver's promotion of the crop.
* Carver's work to improve regional farming practices was not of pioneering scientific importance and had little demonstrable impact.

>>10 First assertation: impossible to prove.
Second assertation: impossible to prove.
Third assertation: false; otherwise, why would he be so famous AND have gotten the honors that he did? People considered him a pioneer; thus, he was a pioneer.
Seriously, prior to the Civil Rights movement, white society had no reason to say some black dude did something he didn't actually do. Stop trying so damn hard, >>10.

Also there was no reason to say that black dude didn't do something he did actually do. There were black landowners(even on south) even during times of slavery. Talented blacks who become part of white society have never had real problems. I don't think blacks as race are inferior. Key problem here is that majority of blacks tend to be what you would call "white trash" in white society. I think rather than race this is related to history. Blacks were slaved, oppressed and suddenly freed as large poor and uneducated mass. Doesn't take genius to guess that such population can't integrate into society very well.
Who gives a fuck about peanut butter. The Aztecs invented it end of story. Afrocentrists STFU you are wrong. Racists stop gloating, these people just abuse the anti-racist movement, they are not considerred a part of it. Also you waste too much time on this shit.
End of discussion.

In addressing the question "Who invented the incandescent lamp?" historians Robert Friedel and Paul Israel (1987, 115-117) list 22 inventors of incandescent lamps prior to Swan and Edison.

The lone inventor is a myth. Indeed, a device can be invented numerous times, each time independently by a separate individual, before it becomes common knowledge. What's to say that multiple folks didn't invent the wheel? (Indeed, there WERE wheeled toys in the Central American civilizations of old - just not bigger uses of wheels. Nonetheless, the Mormons pounce on the toys as "proof" of their mythology, which has ancient Israelites settling the Americas, bringing along wheeled chariots, and "falling from grace" and becoming Native Americans. Nice story, but the facts don't match the evidence out there.)

If they didn't make bigger wheels they weren't just ignorant, they were outright idiots.
