Why does it matter?

One drop rule

It's the progressive reverse one drop rule

I actually thought it was a spurdo edit when I saw the picture in the catalog.

Ok Jamile but Dumas was a quadroon frenchman (father was a nobleman too) not some jig from baltimore

Who cares. How does this effect you?

He used skin whitening powder in his photos. He was actually pretty swarthy

>>16233951
>Why does the truth matter?

>>16236289
>skin almost the same color as the white background
Yeah he’s super black

/polit/ is irreversibly triggered by one cartoon image, and theyre seething with frothy mouths. Holy shit it doesnt get better than this. pic related its OP.

>>16233489
>Photos of Dumas show he is clearly partially black
>/Pol/ loses their shit and spam /lit/

Can you people fuck off to /pol/ already? I bet you haven't read a single Dumas book in your life.

Its not even /pol/ you retards it the fact that like OP said Dumas obviously wasnt snow white but google displays him as if he was dark as fuck which is clearly not true

>>16233489
I don’t really care about America’s one drop rule.
But I find it insulting that for the celebration of Dumas, they did a cartoon of his most lauded novel (the count), but they didn’t base the cartoon off of his novel, they based it off of a Hollywood adaptation that butchered the story, you can tell because the cartoon doesn’t include Danglars at all, even though he’s the most explored object of vengeance. Google claim to care about this author, but not enough to read his fucking books

>>16238471
Yeah, fuck, history is altered forever, Dumas literary works just rewrote themselves automatically... Dumas being a black person has been a topic of discussion for hundreds of years, you just exposed yourself as a reactionary idiot.

>>16238471
That is the kind of thing people from /lol/ care about. It's better black people appreciate Chevalier de Saint Georges or Alexandre Dumas than trying to make Beethoven black or Shakespeare black or some other liberal nonsense. It might even encourage some black youth to become academically inclined. I see no problem with letting black people celebrate a man who suffered the persecution of a black man.

The Doodle of Dumas vs. the noodle of dumbass.

>>16233489
This is such a stupid hill to die on. He was considered black by contemporaries.

>>16234073
One drop rule was a Mutt thing, French didn't care so much

>>16238563
do you realize how retarded you sound? how is it a mutt thing?? is it better to just mix with mutts? No, THAT makes you a mutt nation.
What turned US into mutts is REMOVING those laws

if you just google image search him he looks quite black. i mean come on op, it takes far less work than making a thread

>>16233489

The one thing that I haven't seen mentioned (maybe someone did, it's been all over) is that he loooks EXACTLY like spurdo sparde. The light yellow of the stache, the lower lip about the tone of the mouth, the beady black eyes in the picture (notwithstanding the OP's comment). Needs a shoop.

>He had bright blue eyes
>Cartoon has right blue eyes

>>16233951
You’re right, why did it matter to google? Somebody had to go out of their way to do that. It probably even had to be specified via commission because it’s distinct from the reality.

>>16238430
Why does that matter here?

Seethe more, /pol/fags.

>>16234090
Haha I actually saw this first.

>>16233951
Ideologues rewriting history, what else could you expect? The problem in this instance is the transparency. Photos exist of this guy.

For the intended audience this comes across as patronizing, for others it's blatant revisionism.

>>16240198
Bro, you're engaging in revisionism by trying to act like he was fucking white. Idiot.

>>16240210
For someone who is quarter black, you're trying to make him a lot more blacker.

>>16240256
You mom black gay

>>16234090
I too have been ruined by memes.

just google his pic and he's mulatto man. look at his fuckin hair
besides his race being a talk in his times

WE

>>16234090
The dree musgedeers :DDD

Here's a contemporary portrait of him

Dumas wrote little more than schlocky adventure stories. Not sure why you so badly want to claim him.

Is Meghan Markle huwite now too?

>>16236777
If the background is white then what color is his shirt?

>>16233489
If you squint he looks like spurdo :DDDD
