If Beethoven was black I claim cultural appropriation because Beethoven performed and showed up to many events in white-face. Or was that just make-up?

I remember when this was first talked about—it must have been in the 1968 to 1970 period. I think I saw the “Peanuts” cartoon at the time.

Black Jesus?
Black Shroud of Turin?

White Martin Luther King?

I believe Paul Simon has experimented with African musical themes as well. And to my knowledge, he is not black. I recall even then Paul took some heat for "Cultural Appropriation".
