Archiving the “strange death of Europe,” as Douglas Murray put it, and the West more broadly, at the hands of the neoliberal technocracy.
‘Knights’ of medieval Europe were actually black, explains DEI revisionist historian
Strap yourself in and prepare to have your mind blown, bigot:
The knights. Why do you think they call ‘em knights? Because they were dark as night. They were dark. Beethoven was a black man. King James was a black man. Mozart was a black man…
So they paint over our images, like Christ, like Moses. It’s called iconoclasm. It is literally something that they did*.

*“They” means white people in this context.
Blessed with having gone to public school in Atlanta, I had heard most of this stuff before, but the King James being a black man and every European knight being a black man were new ones; the number of crypto-blacks discovered lurking in the historical record seems to grow by the year.

The whole “we were kings,” “every European of note in history was actually black” revisionist history shtick was maybe more plausible back in the pre-internet darkness — the “night” of the information sphere, as it were — when information was not as readily available as it is today via the Google machine (probably invented by a black man, obviously and stolen by a white devil).
Undeterred by the ability to debunk their delusional claims in real time with a few taps of the thumb on an iPhone, the “we were kings” revisionists persist in their counterfactual racialist fantasies.
Just in case it needs to be clarified, here is the actual etymological origin of the term “knight,” which derives from Old Germanic and which can be, again, easily discovered by anyone with an internet connection in about twenty seconds.
Via Etymonline (emphasis added):
Old English cniht "boy, youth; servant, attendant," a word common to the nearby Germanic languages (Old Frisian kniucht, Dutch knecht, Middle High German kneht "boy, youth, lad," German Knecht "servant, bondman, vassal"), of unknown origin. For pronunciation, see kn-. The plural in Middle English sometimes was knighten.
Meet the new and improved Joan of Arc
Moving right along with the theme of rediscovering the diverse ethnicity of European heroes and heroines, the new and improved Joan of Arc, a 15th-century French woman, is a black migrant with cornrows in a tracksuit in order to “explore… the impact of someone from a marginalized background on international politics.”

Via The National (emphasis added):
Directed by Tony Award-winning Stewart Laing, Saint Joan explores power, gender and youth-led change, as well as the impact of someone from a marginalised background on international politics…
“I think it is very relevant today because I think that young people do look at the men in power and they’re shocked at the state of politics, and so they do act to change things,” he told the Sunday National.
“I think Joan is a very interesting character from that point of view. She’s standing up for what she believes. She’s so self-determined. She really believes that the thoughts in her head are the things that have to be done, and she won’t let anybody in authority tell her that her thoughts are wrong.”
He added: “In the 2020s, we find our news feeds increasingly dominated by a world at war, so what can we learn from this teenager’s battles with the powerful establishments of the military, the church and the government?”
While there is some argument that turning fictional characters of European lore into diverse ethnicities is merely an act of artistic license granted to all playwrights — although, what’s obvious for anyone paying attention is that it only ever goes one way — the added absurdity of putting Joan of Arc in cornrows and a tracksuit in a historical piece is that, in fact, Joan of Arc was a real person from a time and a place long before Africans mass-migrated into France and started riding around on horses in tracksuits.
