Was Washington Black?...

Seems a silly question, but just a few more years and you'll most likely not only see the question asked in the MSM but probably answered in the affirmative.
Once they've milked the "white-devil" thing dry, they'll have to change tactics and proclaim every historical figure non-White in order to explain the existence of the society in which they dwell. Even the Pilgrims will be 'bruthas' before they are threw rewriting the past.

That's Marxism.
It not only denies some history (and reality) but literally rewrites other parts of it. And quite often more than once.

example,

Smithsonian magazine’s February, 2009, edition had Darwin and Lincoln on the cover, insinuating that Darwin was a champion of equality. The theory of evolution allegedly implied the oneness of man, so we are reassured that Darwin was an egalitarian.

Smithsonian was not alone in misrepresenting Darwin. A new book called Darwin’s Sacred Cause, by Adrian Desmond and James Moore, (authors of an earlier Darwin biography) belabored Darwin’s anti-slavery position at the expense of his very clear depiction of real racial differences. Of course, the theory of evolution does indeed imply that all races of man derive from a common ancestor and are surely genetically similar. But the large amount of variation among the races impressed Darwin to the extent that he worried about what he thought was the problematic nature of inter-racial mating.

...

Despite egalitarian liberals’ ferreting through materials to present Darwin as their champion, he was nothing of the sort. His own England would arrest him for hate speech today—just as they nearly did the Nobel laureate James D. Watson in 2007 when he discussed the black/white IQ difference of 15 points. This is why Stephen Jay Gould, the ultimate proselytizing egalitarian, compartmentalized the "good" and the "bad" Darwin.

There is very real danger when politics trumps science, as it did in the former USSR. Truth was often suppressed under Stalin.

...

The mass movement to "equalize" society quite simply lacks a scientific basis and, in fact, is built upon a premise denied by Darwin. Races not only exist, but they are different in very deep ways that may well descend to the moral foundation of humankind.

...

One thing is certain: science and liberalism cannot both be right.
