I love how the name of Yasuke is getting dragged through the mud

Ah the correction of history, you love to see it.
It doesn't seem like they are dragging Yasuke's name through the mud, as much as it's and explanation of what the weird American Leftists are doing in their country.
And to be clear, actual Yasuke didn't do anything.
"actual Yasuke" didn't even exist .
I doubt that. The Portuguese never had a single black slave once in Japan, that may have been purchased by a member of the Japanese elite? That seems well into the category of probable events.
there's only 2 mentions of Yasuke, one was by Jesuits that were known to make shit up and the other was by ONE of the 70 different versions of the Nobunaga Chronicles in Japan that was written hundreds of years after Yasuke supposedly existed (whilst all the other versions of the Nobunaga Chronicles does not mention Yasuke and were actually written at the time and not hundreds of years later.)
Yasuke does not exist in any other writings at the time.
There's more evidence that Santa Claus existed than Yasuke. Also interesting how no one can tell you where the very visible black man in Japan, went after Honnoji temple. There's no mention of him anywhere.
The former wouldn't be surprising, the latter I'd expect to see some evidence of, unless ironically the 'we wuz samurai n sheeit' crowd is right and there were so many blacks in Japan it wasn't even notable.
