Oppenheimer directed the Manhattan Project and was one of the scientists who advocated the dropping of the bomb. Not all the project scientists were behind it and many signed a petition to Truman to have the bomb dropped on a uninhabited island in the pacific as a demonstration.

You won't find this in the history texts, but the scientist who organized the dropping of the bomb over Hiroshima was George Washington Carver. Carver invented the atom bomb in 1898 while attempting to harness the power of the peanut for a peaceful energy source. His discovery was stolen, however, along with Carver himself and Robert Johnson, the famous blues guitarist. Johnson was kept chained in a basement for thirty years, forced to turn out hits for Woody Guthrie and Rudy Vallee. Carver was not treated much better. He was kept in a room twenty miles below the ground in Langley Virginia by the precursor of the CIA. Though Carver was a pacifist, he was subjected to constant electroshock therapy and forced to direct the Allied forces in both World Wars. When he objected to the Manhattan Project, he was painfully castrated and his brain was removed from his body and placed, still living, in a jar where it could be more easily manipulated. His brain did not finally die until early 1960, when it finally became senile and instigated the Bay of Pigs invasion. But you won't find that in your precious history books, as the white man is always keeping us down. Black Power!
