George Washington Carver: or :My Black History Month tirade

George Washington Carver
DID NOT INVENT PEANUT BUTTER!!!!
So this morning i'm watching the

with my 9month old

and during the commercial break they have a little “black history month factoid” about

The entirety of the 30 second spot is about how he invented Peanut Butter.
WRONG
It's a simple

away to find out the Kellogg holds the us patent on “nut butter paste”
So i wrote them an e-mail stating that G.W.C. invented over 100 uses for peanuts and was integral to the revitalization of black southern farmers once he discovered that the peanut plant is light on soil nutrient usage whilst being easy to maintain.
And that a simple fact check could have prevented such a mistake,
Further more that pairing down G.W.C's many accomplishments to simply “he done made peanut butter” not only trivializes the man who worked so hard to better poor black families, but also dumbs our children the understanding of black history.
I migt have been a little harsh on them.
