You asshole! That was my pick. You wouldn’t even know who he was if it wasn’t for peanut butter. That’s just so wrong scooping me like that LR...its like taken over a fellas fishing hole. It’s just wrong!!!

Now I gotta say something lame like “Those Tuskegee Airmen are pretty cool.”

But you ain’t gonna beat me like that. Just to spite you I’m going to list the most influential African American of modern times as America’s greatest African American.

Lol...one good groan deserves another. I have admired George Washington Carver since I was in elementary. I had to read a weekly reader book and do a report over him. He reminded me of my dad. The farming....the thinking about farming...the developing smart farming like crop rotation and while he wasn’t solely responsible for the development of contour plowing he helped make it better. My dad was always planting stuff in different places. I wondered why until I had to do that report. I was just this week referring to my last year’s gardening chart to see where I had planted my peas. And even though peanut oil couldn’t cure or prevent polio this guy was smart. Definitely an American who contributed greatly to his country.

But really...Snoop? What in He world did he ever do?

And I’d never steal a fellas fishing hole...well, at least not as long as he was alive. :)

How can you say that? Snoops one of the greatest social commentators and philosophers of all times. He’s beloved by whites and blacks alike and has done more to heal racial divides in this nation then just about anyone all while keepin it real! Yo man... the Dogg is schinizzle!
