O/T uncle bens rice.

If this is correct then it's actually counter productive to the BLM argument.

This would actually ensure a successful black person is shoved out of the history books.

It's not correct, it's total b*llocks.

It's rumoured to have been a maître d'hôtel called Frank Brown, but hardly famous or particularly connected to rice. The line about being a rice grower was created by Mars for marketing purposes to give the fictional character of Uncle Ben a back story.

Still, people believe anything they read online, people can't differentiate fact from fiction or do even basic fact checking for themselves.

Sorry John, but I had to have a wry smile with your words, "people believe anything they read online" when you've clearly done precisely what we all have. Namely type "Uncle Ben's Wikipedia" into your search engine. You then cut and paste some of the content onto this thread.

It would appear that people believe anything they read online also extends to you.
