tl;dr Ludwig van Beethoven was >99% European.
In case you haven't heard about this particular leftist propaganda: they claimed Beethoven was black.
Now a university ran genome analysis on a lock of his hair. To nobody's surprise (nobody sane anyway) he's >99% European, central European at that.
They also claim that all of Shakespeares plays were actually written by a black woman. That fried chicken invented in Scotland was actually invented by African slaves in America. On and on, you can’t have someone fart without someone claiming it was a black person that did it first.
Obviously they wanna claim fried chicken for themselves, this is why the onion shut down and the bee has to come up with even crazier stories.
The Onion shut down?
lol, alright thats some sorta Mandela effect for me. I thought they did a while ago, I was wrong but weirdly enough no one talks about them anymore.
Tbf we fry everything.
Pizza, Mars bars, Cadbury Creme Eggs.
Don't do the last one though, sugar core turns molten and can injure someone enough it might be fatal.
Any chef can tell you molten sugar is super dangerous, that's what caused lots of slave deaths back in the olden days
I enjoyed when Richard Hammond fried Spaghetti when they were in Scotland for a special.
That was a special moment.
Fried chicken was invented in Scotland?
Texans fry everything, too. Even ice cream.
Uhh...
We wuz Euroz an sheeit.
or
Europe was always Black!
I mean they tried to pull that with Kingdom Come - Deliverance years ago when they complained a game in medieval Europe was too White.
I mean there are non whites in that game, they just happen to be invading mud slimes brought in by a feckless usurper.
We wuz deaf n shit!
There's a surprising amount of black culture in the US that was carried over from Ireland, Scotland, and Britain.
It's both less and more surprising when you look up just how many inventions were from the hands of Scots.
It's less surprising because there are that many so it's inevitable it would influence a lot of the world;
Pedal bikes, pneumatic tyres, tubular steel, canal design, wire rope, cordite, telephones, radar, ATM and PINs, logarithms, hypnotism, noble gases, golf, ice hockey [suck it Canada], saline drips, hypodermic syringes, ECGs, chainsaws, refridgerators, flush toilets, lawnmowers, carronade cannons, Ferguson rifles, Ghillie suits, and a lot more.
It's more surprising because there are that many coming from just Scotland.
I thought that was a meme, did anyone actually belived it?
So we are literally using dna and genome testing to go 'U WUZN'T KINGS!'
At least they're busy doing this than torturing beagles, compared to the music nowadays, it's extremely hard to find ANYTHING that can match the same raw emotion in music as your Beethoven or Mozart.
It's not the first time. AFAIR they also did tests on Pharaoes and found them to be mediterranean, not black. IIRC they even turned out to be more European than African, i.e. Greek or Roman ancestry.
Which anyone with a basic knowledge of both history and geography could tell you. I can't tell if years of over representation in media led to leftists believing the very shit they try to sell or it's just a constant need to claim the great works of those previously.
Close. They've been doing it for so long the next generation is in media and they DO actually believe.
People who think the Pharaohs were black believe it as a tenet of faith, so there's no point in arguing with them.
Cleopatra was actually a descendant of the Macedonian general ptolomy
Leftists always claim it's a meme when people point out that the present generation is literally dumber, weaker and less worthy compared to the past.
But they literally are. Our forefathers made most of us look like ass scratching monkeys.
I mean, we now have decades of "sexual liberation" and feminism making sure women fuck up our genepool based on their random whims and horny brains. It happened throughout history, but at least the known and guaranteed consequences filtered out the majority from trying.
We don't need evolutionary lengths of time to see the direct results of bad personalities being passed from retarded parent to terrible child.
You can't decline forever, but you can decline for a long time.
Somebody tried to push the idea he was black?
Yea, it was a thing for a while. At least in German left-wing media and among the usual race activists.
I just tell these people everyone wasn’t black. I mean there are plenty of black musicians to choose from. Beethoven was obviously white. Plus he is my favorite composer
You think it's just Beethoven? I can't find the video of that nigga nationalist (rofl) telling Louis Theroux how all of the famous Europeans from Shakespeare to various composers were all black.
Apparently Beethoven had the nickname The Spaniard. Which of course meant he was black.
A modern famous black pop singer claimed Beethoven was black like him. Well, and the usual leftist media ran with it.
Not just popular media. Academics were raising the question as well.
Just like that, Beetz be canceled. I'm almost certain most classical stations are going to play his pieces less often.
To anyone who believed the myth, having it scientifically disproved beyond all reasonable doubt will not make them change their mind, since they believed in it for political reasons, not based on evidence.
👀
Remember when 23 & me workers admitted they would put less than 1% African on people’s profiles because technically 0% is less than 1%.
As long as all their figures are given with confidence intervals, it seems fine. If you can't detect <1% then you can't say for sure it's 0%.
It's greater than 99%. I'm guess that's about as precise as they can get.
Pure spite.
