softsoundsfromanotherplanet:nicky-cass:absolutely-walnuts:holy shit“Ludwig van Beethoven was of African descent, and the truth of his ethnic origins was covered up through a mixture of white powder worn on his face when out in public, the use of body doubles for portraits, and “euro-centric” historians, hiding the truth of his genetic heritage.“ - srcI’m mad that we aren’t taught thisNo way This doesn’t make sense? Both of Beethoven’s parents are of Flemish/German descent. The source is some magazine stating that Beethoven was tan (tan Europeans exist? they’re not all bed sheet white) and that Belgium was once occupied by Spain and Spain was once occupied by Islamic Moores and that explains why Beethoven has African ancestry? I’m sorry but that seems like quite a reach to make. -- source link
