he presents an obviously doctored video - possibly doctored by his people -

In a few weeks? You mean you haven’t been doing it already?

So wait... he presents an obviously doctored video - possibly doctored by his people - and somehow concludes that we can’t trust CNN because the video proves that... what?

If you try to make a cooked banana pudding with unripe bananas, the bananas end up having the same flavor and consistency as wooden nickels. I screwed up an otherwise perfect banana pudding about fifteen years ago and haven’t made another one since.

This doctored video is prescient, bet money: in a few weeks people will be running from Trump supporters, expecting them to be hot with live Covid-19 virus and contagious. Any sign of support for Trump will be like a geiger counter going off: keep away!

Beethoven: “I’ve always wanted to say this: ‘for shizzle!’” 

Living relatives would only tell what he was plus what all his ancestors mixed in the genetic stew, so that wouldn’t tell anything worthwhile. If you really want a true genetic breakdown you’d have to test his samples or those of his parents, so we’re right back to digging him up.

I actually hadn’t heard the theory about Beethoven being black, but to add to what you wrote, the story with George Bridgetower is a pretty funny one.

The next racial draft is going to be interesting. Rondell and the Black Delegation have a gift fall into their laps.

Also, one of Beethoven’s peers and collaborators, who was openly indicated as black.

probably because Dumas didn’t shy away from his heritage, despite historians attempts over the centuries to downplay his black heritage.

Where was he buried? I got a shovel, you can get an ancestry.com kit. We’ll solve this thing tonight at midnight.

Beethoven being black is just cosmic justice for black people having to find out Bobby Caldwell is white.

The hard part is having this shit pop up when you least expect it. If I had joined a white nationalists or even a pro-cop group, I would expect racist memes. But I was looking for camaraderie over a unique shared experience, as far away from Punisher logos and Hurricane Katrina jokes as one could be.

This isn’t a hot take but Facebook is a fucking cesspool. I joined a naval submarine veteran group to talk about the good ol’ days and catch up on fleet gossip and it was all the same White Lives Matter, racist memes and awfulness.

I know these lowlife mother fuckers were emboldened by the election of Trump. Not that they weren’t unrepentant scumbags before but now they were thinking “Someone that thinks just like we do is now in charge.” For real one of the things all Democratic candidates need to be running on is shit like this. Sorry I don’t…

Combined with thousands of citizens responding with “Yes hell it is.”

Cue hundreds of police departments across the country simultaneously releasing statements saying, “This is not who we are...”

My spouse works for law enforcement. It’s a good group. No, really. When they get calls of “suspicious black men”, first they demand to know what the poor soul is doing that’s so suspicious (almost always nothing), then they bitch out the caller for wasting their time. They regularly train in deescalation and conflict…
