When they cannot dismantle the accomplishment they instead try to commandeer it
A "cultural appropriation" if you will
In the end all they have to do is print history books that say Shakespeare and Beethoven and Egyptian kings were all black. They can literally make it all up. Anyone who questions it must be a racist and will get black balled from their respective field.
Don't forget all the Chinese emperors and Indian khans ... oh, wait ...
There's actually talks in the German speaking press of digging up Beethoven to get some DNA to check if he was black or not, I shit you not. Absolutely retarded, and that by a black musician who sang songs akin to Michael Jacksons black or white. They want another "role model", I wonder how they would've reacted if the nazis dug him up to see how Aryan he was, lol.
If they did, I don't care what the DNA actually says... somehow they would find "similarities enough" to call him black.
Exactly, you cannot believe any shit they say so if he's proven to be 100% white they'll say there are uncertainties and claim he was partially black. if it's a 1 in 1024th black they'll claim him black so either way he's gonna be black in their eyes.
I remember when sir Francis bacon was Shakespeare because no way some.fucking peasant could write these days, that'd mean some filthy commoner was showing up our best and brightest!
Francis Bacon was probably chosen to give Science™ credit for all the good things as opposed to aristocracy.
Yeah, I know there are all these theories that Shakespeare never wrote anything.... and seriously it always seems to amount to some argument like this.... he was just some common moron how could he be so brilliant lol...
I know that there are a few theories around the idea Shakespeare didn't write the plays attributed to him, but they were mainly aristocrats or men of high office.
How high do you have to be to pull this one out your ass?
Edit: According to Wikipedia (yes, I know) She's an Italian https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Emilia_Lanier
Already the idea that Shakespeare didn't author his plays is fringe. Then among anti-Stratfordians Amelia Bassano as the true author is fringe and seems to only gain traction because she's a woman (and possibly a Jew). And then among those who believe Amelia Bassano is an author the idea that she's black is fringe and only accepted because uh- kangz. This is fringe three times over.
But suggesting mRNA treatments might not be as safe as the talking heads say it is is DA REAL NUTBALL CONSPIRACY THEORY
It’s easy for me to believe that William Shakespeare didn’t write every word of every Shakespeare play, just like Walt Disney didn’t animate every Disney movie by himself.
Exactly. I think people misinterpreted his name being on the folio as the author, instead of the producer (which he was).
That's an odd comparison.
Yes and i'm a nigerian prince.
And now on BBC, a Nigerian BIPOC POC brownie can be the sheriff on Nottingham and you were the bestest choice.
The truth finally comes out! This is a historic day for BIPOC's everywhere
I mean it makes sense,
Shakespeare
Shakespear

Must’ve been black
so eddie murphy is a gg'er, im surprised... welcome to kia, eddie.
But clickbait gotta clickbait and it's not like anyone is fact-checking leftist propaganda online. All most retarded people that see this will walk away with is thinking, "Duuuuh oppressed black lady 600 years ago wrote arguably the greatest literary works in history!!!! We was kangz!"
It's all so tiresome.
I read a book a while back called Color: A Natural History. The author mentions one of the pigments used for skin tones by certain artists darkens over time. Note how the highlights are too light to match the rest of her face. This is closer to her original skin color. It's understandable why someone would think that she's black at first glance, but its based on ignorance.
That's not even a painting of Bassano. It's Portrait of a Moorish Woman after Paulo Veronese.
I’ve heard the Francis Bacon theory but I’ve been a Shakespeare fan since early teens (my mom had us read his works, and thankfully she wasn’t upset by dead white male authors) and I’ve NEVER heard of this.
Sure. And Emperor Chin and the Buddha were blacker'n the ace of spades, too.
Amelia Bassano was Italian-English. Mediterranean at the darkest
Shakespeare-Chucker
You have got to be kidding me, this has to be a joke/parody 😋
Nope, it's actually a pretty solid case Go figure!
She didn't "die in poverty" she live a hell of a glamourous life, she also published her own book of poetry too.
In no way was that a convincing article or argument.
Yeah, when even Snopes rates this thing as a hard false, when you SO know they would give anything for it to be true.... yeah it is false.
But make sure you're the right shade of black!

Lmaaaoooooo.
Even Snopes rated this one as False. It even states how she wasn't even black. So this person they want to be black and have written Shakespeare, even if she DID write all of Shakespeare's plays, it still wasn't a black person....
It's (current year). We don't need sources anymore, all we have to do is pound on the table really hard until the other side relents.
