I can never get over that Hoover scene from Boardwalk Empire where he's literally like "I don't care about what the Mafia is doing, I'm worried about Marcus Garvey"
like i just wish we knew for certain how much of that was him being blackmailed and how much of that was him being a stupid-ass cac
When you read at the background origin story of various historical figures known for their hysterical zealotry against some marginalized groups, there often happened to be related or covertly hailing one way or another with these said groups.
Hitler with both the Jews, Jewish gentry, Blacks and queers (his estrangled abusive mother whom he loathed was a Jewess, his father the Baron of Rothchild's illigetimate grandson, has some distant indigenous North African [Berber speaking and/or Maghrebi Jew heritage, likely] ancestry from her mother's Sephardic Jewish side he might certainly knew given how erudite he was, and was native from Bavaria-- a hotbed of Roman-Punic, Celtic and Egyptian descended swarthy locales like him-- as proven later by DNA tests proving that his Bavarian paternal line has some direct non-Jewish Afro-Asiatic speaking ancestry too... the Rothchilds were a Jewish offshoot of the baronial Boer/Bauer/Boher clan ["farmer, landowner; Jew; Moor, Moorish-like, swarthy" in German] , itself a minor branch of the Hasburg lineage, which was reputed as well as the early Hasburgs in medieval times for their tan or darker complexion. Plus, intelligence service datas from multiple Allies countries confirmed that Hitler was a closeted bisexual and even a serial pedophile toward both young boys and girls) . Napoleon and the Blacks too (he ought his surname from a "Moorish" man-- DNA tests ran nowadays onto members of the Bonaparte family attests about a distant Afro-Asiatic ancestry only found predominantly in the Ethiopian Highlands and amid minority groups from the Caucasus-- both South Caucasus countries and Ethiopia still reminisces today about past cultural interexchanges between the two regions, as well as fewer matrimonial alliances between the Byzanto-Armenian-Persian Georgian Bagratid Dynasty who ruled a majority of the South Caucasus polities during the second half of Ist millenium A.D. , and the Aksumite then later Zagwe Dynasties. Abyssinian rulers reportedly owned few scathes of land in Bagratid Armenia during the 9th century and vice versa... plus, like much of the Italian gentry and nobility anyway, he was also a descendant of 16th century biracial Afro-Italian aristocratic scholar Alessandro "The Moor" de Medici from the father's side) . Lincoln and his love-hatred toward black people (he was himself a Melungeon [mixed descendants of white Europeans, Native Americans and black Africans] from both sides of his parentage, and from what transpired in his journals he felt both a sense of great pride but even greater shame about his heritage) , D.R. President Trujillo (a
moreno) , Stalin toward both Jews and Georgians (he was himself a Georgian Jew) or even that one former frizzy-haired K.K.K. leader who claimed "pure" white European blood before getting outed by Oprah as being 20% African American...
... the biggest haters are sometimes even closer to us than we couldn't imagine. I wouldn't be startled to learn someday if Tomi Lahren will refuse from ever publicizing about her 23AndMe DNA test. Her skin is waaaay too tan-friendly for a
Norwegian American hillbilly... ?
