I thought Sharpton said he was a "Greek homo".
What a piece of crock and infuriatingly revisionist history, especially this year, in the 250th anniversary of his birth.
If Beethoven were black his name would have been LeBron instead of Ludwig.
Is the Pope Chatholic?
It’s right there in the lyrics of Beethoven’s Ninth: Alle Menschen werden Brüder = All men become brothers. Not only was he black, he was trying to turn everyone into one of the brothers. And Beethoven’s unpublished Tenth Symphony is based on my poem Ode to Sarcasm.
Yes. This Beethoven was black thing has been around decades.
They colonized, enslaved, rape and terrorized Europe for 800 years before Europeans threw them out.
Why is that ignored?
I guess it's racist to bring it up.
are they trying to figure out whether they are going to cancel Whitey Beethoven?

"You....got what I need......but you say he just a friend...."
Man, from the arguments you laid out, Jonas Kaufmann (probably the most famous operatic tenor at the moment) better watch out. He’s a German like Beethoven, but he also has dark curly hair that he sometimes allows to get bushy, brown eyes, and olive skin. Not just that, he’s sung in the opera Carmen, which has African rhythms! And he starred in “black” composer Beethoven’s only opera, Fidelio! The proof is overwhelming!
Bet he’d be surprised to find out by the criteria of Afro-centric “scholars” he’s a black man. Who knew millions of whites are really blacks!

Jeeeeez! They never learn. This started on 4chan as a joke. Time and time, again, they fall for it. SMH.
The Peanuts cartoon I referenced was from over 50 years ago, it’s not new.
“Bohemian Rap City”.
Pushkin was 1/8 black, 7/8 white. Only one of his 8 great-grandparents was non-European. He was certainly mixed race, but it seems like a stretch to call him black. At least there’s actual legitimate evidence for that claim, though, as there is for Dumas, pere and fils, unlike for Beethoven.
Now that we're all woke, time to roll over Beethoven!
Every time you think these fools have reached the absolute limits of stupidity they prove you wrong.
