Didn't he also come up with a lot of other shit besides peanut butter, but it became the only thing he was known for? I swear there was a skit on Chappelle's show or something about how white scientists are honored for all these amazing scientific achievements and breakthroughs and then they get to the black scientists and it's like "yall gave us peanut butter, good job".

I thought he didn't invent peanut butter?

Just checked, Slayven is right. Poor dude got all kinds of screwed over, we don't even remember him properly.
The Aztecs were known to have made it from ground peanuts in the 15th century, and Marcellus Gilmore Edson was awarded U.S. Patent 306,727 (for its manufacture) in 1884, when Carver was 20.

Who the fuck eats syrup sandwiches?

It exists people: http://youtu.be/DHzQsavEFMM

Even featured in a Nas song:

I remember early mornings – syrup sandwiches, sugar water, yeah
Walking up the dark stairwells, elevators was out of order, yeah
Worth 200 million now, bicentennial nigga, flat screens and condominiums
Brazilian women on Xannies they pulling off panties
I’m pushing 40, she only 21
Don’t applaud me, I’m exhausted G
Me and my red cup, my blunt and my red cup
Y’all wouldn’t know me without one, I keep a fresh cut
Remember talking to Biggie inside his Lex truck
Said stay fly when you bummy, keep your pajamas Armani

Is this the place to go if I have a hair related question? Men's Hair OT doesn't seem to have many black posters

Trying to grow my hair out longer, something similar to a High top fade, looking more like this though, never really grown my hair past a few centimeters though. Need some advice so this period of terrible hair hopefully leads to something good.

What type of hair grease do you use (if you do use it)? Depending on the type usually helps it grow a little faster.

So the girls next door just came and made a halloween costume from the shit in my closet to make me come to their costume party tonight.

What am I? A drug dealer!
Yeah... not happening.

And they wonder why I hate halloween.
 
It aint so much what they pulled out my closet that offended me. Although it contributed cause they found some stereotypical shit i dont even wear these days.

I just couldnt believe they seriously asked me to be a drug dealer.

You used to dress like a sterotypical drug dealer? lol

The situation sucks, but there are so many things tolaugh about.

not really finding the humor there but alright.
jerseys, tall tees, baggy sweats. durags, etc. house clothes now, but it used to be so fresh.
i dont consider that stereotypical drug dealer stuff.
its just shit the average black person my age wore in high school.
 
It's a shit situation, at least they didn't recommend you go as a drug dealer in whatever clothes you answered the door with.

Are you close with the girls who suggested the drug dealer thing?
 
Morehouse?

Nah, I went to an Illinois state school. It was an accurate assumption too. People were all sorts of of unfocused.

Edit: And if someone here is at syrup sandwich levels of struggle, we need to pitch in and get that ninja some Popeyes or something.
 
I still have some tall tees in my closet somewhere. They're fuckin' HUUUGE

I like to imagine BlackCultureGAF are all classy ladies and gents, and only rock the finest adult fashion.

Except Beef, of course.

When I was a teen I used to wear 'Eclipse' stuff. UK guys will know what I'm talking about. I also had a pair of Georgetown Hoyas jeans that were so baggy I could've hidden 6 turkeys down each leg. Not my finest fashion choices but better than the mid-90's when nobody bothered to tell me that white jeans were a no-no.

Isn't that just a taper?
Yea, looks like a hightop taper to me.
I guess it could be that too, not really versed on hair lingo, high top fade just seemed similar?

I don't use any hair stuff, head and shoulders shampoo, with some cocoa butter Vaseline lotion after my hair dries so I don't get dandruff.
