The Centre of Fine Arts in Brussels announced the celebration of the 250th birthday of German composer Ludwig van Beethoven by posting a portrait of the composer as a black African man.
The centre, also known as BOZAR, published a post on Wednesday of a still from a video entitled “Black Beethoven” by American artist Terry Adkins, which features a portrait of the late 18th and early 19th-century composer depicted a young black man with dreadlocks.

Of course Beethoven was black! Mozart will soon be black.

Perhaps it should be renamed the Centre of Propagandist Arts. Belgium produces some good beer but that about all I can think of that is good from Belgium, maybe some chocolate also.

OK then, I guess it's OK if someone does a portrait of MLK as Archie Bunker. Or Ovomit as Pee Wee Herman.
This could get fun.

A portrait of the artist as a bLACK man. Any why not? They have few cultural contributions of their own that they get a pass to steal the work of others. The pyramids of Egypt are a fine example. Oh, and "BOZAR" must be the Eurospeak translation of Bozo.

Yeah, and all the Founding Fathers were also black. Right? So stop tearing their statues down and renaming schools.

My primary beef with this PC hores#$t is that the Africans have not and cannot invent, develop, maintain, or fix any aspect of civilization. No science, culture, literature, art, technology. My secondary beef is they’re always squawking about cultural appropriation, yet they do the same in the most idiotic ways, e.g., Beethoven’s race. My tertiary beef is equally idiotic Whites are more than eager to support this process and buy into that hallucination.

Maybe they based this on the fact that Beethoven never lived in any one place for very long. Why? He did not pay his rent and was evicted over and over and over again.
There are plaques all over Austria stating "Beethoven Lived Here". A lot of places.
Maybe this is how he earned his street cred.

They only wish they had somebody black who could compose such brilliant music. Much of their actions, hate and racism are out of pure jealousy. Rap Crap and Hip Hop dancing like a bunch of grasshoppers jumping around is the best that they can do. Bob Marley is the only real musician who ever looked like that.

Idiocy run amuck. German three hundred years ago was not a young black man in dreads. Dear God Help Us From Liberal Idiots Amen.

Beethoven in blackface?
Are they saying no blackman could have written that music? They’re such racists.
Of course some of the music hardly seems to have been authored by Man.

I'm really getting tired of all these "woke" leftists, blacks, indians and others appropriating White, Western culture. American indians driving pickup trucks and wearing the White Mans clothes to Columbus Day protests. Blacks actually having the nerve to produce a play with blacks playing our Founding Fathers, such as Hamilton; or making a Wizard of Oz movie with black actors. They all use cell phones, watch TV, drive cars, use flush toilets, then condemn anyone who dares to have cornrows in their hair. Kind of a double standard, no?

Oddly enough I've never heard a Mfer in any of Beethoven's operas.

These dupes truly see the world in black but not white. I can think of many black artists that I have no wish to paint as white. They are what God made them and we are ALL the better for it.

I lived in Brussels in 1981-82 and the people there were whacked out way back then. They drink beer for breakfast and it’s not the watery variety we get here. I road a city bus almost every day and it was common to see the pubs full of beer guzzlers at 9am.
It was the same era when the Europeans were all in a tizzy about Reagan’s missile defense system in Western Europe and the churches were all into No-Nukes instead of Christianity. And the country was beginning to be overrun with Muslim Turks who were brought in to do farm labor. The food and drink was wonderful but the country had been going downhill ever since.

As with all left wing ideas, this makes absolutely no sense at all.

That reminds me. I question the judgment of Mike Pence for paying money to see the goofy Hamilton, unless it was the wife's idea. Then the drill is to feign upset stomach for the evening and suggest she take a friend. On top of suffering thru bad rhyming, they just had to stop the idiotic play to lecture Pence about some actor delusion about society and to make the news. Performers live to be noticed and as we have seen they will do anything to get attention. It's like being forced to be in the same room as misbehaving children raised by older children.

In the cult classic The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy, the worst curse word possible in English is said to be the word "Belgium". Up until now I thought this was a joke. Was Douglas Adams telling us something?
To portray Beethoven as a Reggae performer is certainly a cruel joke.
