In My Opinion (IMO by KNH)...Beethoven Didn't Look Like THAT!

A conscious mind is an educated mind is an elevated mind is a constantly Wide aWoke and aware mind. This evening, I watched Classical Rewind on PBS for a few minutes this evening with my son as the station featured a bio on Ludwig van Beethoven's 5th Symphony in C Minor. The odd thing is that the modern portrayals of Beethoven are 100% historically inaccurate. Contemporary artists painted Beethoven very clearly as a dark-skinned man with curly hair. Even Newsweek Magazine quoted this fact a few decades back. As a matter of fact, his mother was a Moor. Moors were the Black North Africans who ruled Italy and parts of Europe for 800 years. Furthermore, Beethoven was spoken of by his neighbors as a "Black Spaniard". 

So why do 100% of European-authored history and music books show him as a man with Caucasian features? The answer should be obvious. To the victor go the spoils including the ability to re-write history to favor their culture. Since Europeans overran Africa, the America's etc., from the 1500's onward by force, they felt they "earned" the right to write history books with stories favorable to their group. What greater accomplishment than to claim the world's greatest musician as your own? For the historical context of my statements read the piece by Open Salon.
