Beethoven was black?

Africa within ^

[monkeycard]

Africa trying to rewrite history.

Judging by his eyes, I'd hazard that his predominate color was *crazy*......;-D

Ach, Himmel! Nicht diese scheisse noch einmal!

>For years, the gays have been claiming every other famous man in history was gay - now we’re going to find out the other half were black.

Ah, now we only have to wait until all the historical figures are black AND gay! [/sarc][/cynic]

[techworker]

I don't know if we can say that for sure.

[prismsinc]

dude, that’s just WRONG! LOL!

Who are you really? Nostradamus?

Well, I _DID_ score high on the “prophecy” portion of a spiritual-gifts inventory at my church... ;)

It's not worth anything. It's complete rubbish.

The great French writer Dumas (The Man in the Iron Mask, The Three Musketeers, The Count of Monte Cristo, etc.) was one-quarter black African, and you can really tell, from his photograph.

I don’t know enough about Beethoven to say, but I don’t see it from that picture. It doesn’t *really* matter, except to people whose identity is all wrapped up in their ethnicity. Me, I could be black or East Asian and it wouldn’t change how I view myself all that much.

I thought everybody that was famous and creative was gay.

I'm going to have to rethink everything...lol.

[LifeComesFirst]

You mean Lincoln.....*wasn’t* gay? But what about his past as a hair-dresser?

I didn’t realize those black Pharonic gliders reached all the way to Germany.

[nmh]

LOL!

Is it February already?

Looking for a new black role model?

Isn’t February Black History month?

Can’t they wait till then to come out with this nonsense?

Looking at your picture of his bust and several of the portraits posted earlier, one can see that old Ludwig had thin tight lips--hardly a Negroid trait. His hair is not frizzy or wooly. Actually, he could have received his dark complexion from Spanish ancestry, inasmuch as the Spanish ruled the Low Countries for many years.

Some of his friends called him "the Sicilian" because of his dark complexion. Many Sicilians have Arab genes, but are we supposed to believe they are "black" too?

[nmh]

Lincoln wasn’t black and he had NO black in him.

GEESH!

There was a Peanuts cartoon where Schroeder was playing Beethoven, and Lucy mentioned that some scholars said that Beethoven was black.

To which Schroeder replied, “You mean all this time I’ve been playing ‘soul music’?”

It's black history revisionism. Complete nonsense. Look at this portrait: NO frizzy hair. NO thick protruding lips. Nose pretty normal for a European.

I would bet there are lockets of Beethoven's hair extant in several places. DNA testing could probably be run on it.
