Any thoughts? Yes. The Multicultural Mafia won’t be happy until history is completely revised toward the belief that Jesus Christ and all of the greatest men in Western Civilization were eithe black, hispanic or women.
Who needs the truth when you can just make things up out of whole cloth?
So Beethoven was dark. My Portuguese father was dark and he sure as hell wasn’t black, or else somebody retouched his picture that showed a 4-year old with blonde hair and blue eyes. Olive skin does not make you “black”.
I wish the Afro-centric racists could make up their minds what they want us to believe — most of the time the story is that the glories of “Western Civ” are worthless or nearly so (Jesse Jackson at Stanford in 1988 (?date?): “hey hey, ho ho, Western Civ has got to go”), but then every now and then they want to claim “credit” for all of it..... you know, “Black Athena” and everything great in Ancient Greek civilization was stolen from “black” Egyptians, and now I suppose everything since ancient times that is worth anything will turn out to be “black” heritage in reality.
Steve Perry is dark and Portugese and in no way looks black. Can’t get straighter hair than his and that was before the hair straightener!
Sorry, I went into a mode there mentioning dark and Portugese. Seems I have a thing for that. ;o)
Don't be so sure. There were more African slaves in Portugal than in any other European country: in 1550, Lisbon boasted 10000 resident slaves in a population of less than 100000, and Portugal as a whole probably had over 40000. When slavery was outlawed in Portugal in 1773, along with the Purity of Blood Laws, there was essentially no discernible black population. The result is that most persons of Portuguese ancestry have a mixed race ancestry.
