Was Ludwig van Beethoven a black man?

Question

A black man on tv named beethoven along with cleopatra of beeing black.

This is maybe possible but I would like to see facts from serious european historians. I think that there is no such thing as pure race since berber from north africa have been living inb south of spain for thousands of years before the clelts,romans.

During the middle age many merchant travelers from north africa, egypt travel to medieval german, italian,french city.

but to beleive that bethoveen was black man, I need serious source. Can somebody give me an answer.

Answer 1

Beethoven was known as the black Spaniard, described by contempories as having black curly hair, big lips, swarthy complexion, flat round nose, with more of the Moor in him than his master Haydn. It's a perfectly reasonable to wonder about his ethnic background. Evidence seems inconclusive. The great European writers Alexander Pushkin and Alexandre Dumas were certainly men of colour. Black achievers have often been written out of history or whitewashed. Millions of people seem to think Jesus was white!
