Was Martin Luther King Jr a plaguerist?

Question

Oh and did Black people invent peanut butter?

Answer 1

I'm not sure where you're going with the MLKjr question. I've never heard anything to indicate that King plagiarized anyone.

As far as peanut butter is concerned, it, along with many other practical uses for peanuts, was invented by George Washington Carver, a largely self-educated black man. He realized the need to rotate cotton with other crops to replenish the minerals in the soil. Peanuts were the best counter-crop for what cotton takes out of the soil, so Carver found many viable uses for peanuts so they would be seen as a markatable product, and farmers would begin rotating them.

Answer 2

It is good these questions are asked and answered. But who cares the patents are probably not going to the relatives of whoever invented what anyway Skippy.
So the peanut butter thing has been around way before the George Washington Carver claim, but he did process his claim in writing as do many so there for the grace of God he gets the credit. There is nothing done or said that is new on this earth it is all here for the making and whoever puts their name on it gets claim, like the California Gold Rush, which originally belonged to the earth and it was there and the land was occupied by the natives but the white man came and put it in writing and made laws to uphold their claims and even killed for them. So therefore who knows who found those claims first. Maybe their bodies are buried in the ground to cover the find. As far as Martin Luther King he may or may not have known that he was stealing from someone else because his thoughts may have been the same and he did not know of the other. I was not there but there again he took credit right? Leif Eriksson the Viking found our Continent of North America first, but he forgot to stick his flag in and write it down so henceforth there we have for the grace of God good ol' Chris Columbus.

Answer 3

I've never heard anything about MLK being a plagiarist.

No, Carver did not invent peanut butter. Peanut butter can be traced back to the Mayans. As far as who "invented" in America, that goes to Dr. John Kellogg (that's right, the cereal guy).

Answer 4

"It is rarely pleasant to look at the feet of the great, for they are too often made of clay. And so it is with Martin Luther King, Jr. On the evidence, there can be little doubt that he plagiarized his Ph.D. dissertation at Boston University from an earlier one by a man, now deceased, named Jack Boozer. Pappas compares eight or more passages from Boozer's thesis with passages from King's in which the ideas and phrasing are virtually identical. He also cites several passages in which King and Boozer make almost identical mistakes in citation or punctuation. King plagiarized much else as well: Pappas identifies five plagiarized passages from King's pre-dissertation period, as well as from the final section of his famous "I Have a Dream" speech, whose passage "From every mountain let freedom ring . . ." was first spoken by another black preacher, Archibald Carey, at the 1956 Republican National Convention."
