“Was Beethoven Black? Twitter Debates Race of German Composer”

Much ado about nothing. New motto of America’s woke generation?

Was Beethoven a good composer? I suppose the answer depends on his skin color ...

Or maybe it doesn’t matter.

All the contemporary descriptions say he was red faced. From stress, not natural skin color.

When did what random libtard worthless Twatter Trolls and Tik Tok teenY boppers become “news.”

The Soros media started the trend of embedding random Twatter user posts in news stories and commenting on this trash like it is news.

This has as much newsworthiness as a debate at the local flat earth convention.

Twatter is not news. Twatter is disconnected with reality. The media is driving this nonsense and giving Twatter trolls legitimacy that they haven’t earned and do not deserve.

Maybe people should mention the violinist who premiered Beethoven’s Violin Sonata No. 9 was a mixed race black by the name of George Bridgetower.

It appears the entire argument for Beethoven being “black” boils down to a couple historical comments about his “Moorish or Spanish” complexion. That’s isn’t black, that’s the olive complexion that is common throughout southern Europe (Spain, Italy, Greece). If you follow that line of logic, then it means Europe is already about 40% black. Their second argument is Beethoven music had African themes (never heard that myself, but still lets go with it). He was one of the most learned musical scholars of his age! Did he have to be black to know about “African musical themes”? Could he not have studied it at some point in his life (which is far more likely than him being black).

The same people are convinced Cleopatra was black and Lincoln was a homo.

If Beethoven is black then maybe Elizabeth Warren is an Indian after all.

However, there is no evidence but it was stated on twitter must be true for the herd animals.
