I’m waiting for Netflix version of Queen Elizabeth 2 being black.
I want to see the Shaka Zulu epic starring Sylvester Stallone.
Shaka’s mother can be played by Christy Brinkley.
Not surprizing that Queen Cleopatra is a flop. Carry On Cleo was definitive.
Ohhhhh mommmaaaa … you’re all so racist! Cleopatra lived in a very warm and sunny climate, so she MUST have had a hell of a tan. You know, the same kind of tan Halle Berry has when playing The Little Mermaid. What? You thought Aeial was a white girl? You racist, you!! Blacks just want a Little Mermaid who looks like they do … oh but her mean antithesis, Ursula can still be white … cause mean people are all white
Let’s see, if Cleopatra was black that would mean blacks had slaves long before the Americans.
Time for reparations?
True. Blacks had slaves before America was even a thing.
“True. Blacks had slaves before America was even a thing.”
Better still, all those black slaves in the US, contrary to popular belief, were not ‘captured’ in Africa…they were SOLD by their countrymen. For money.
You’ve not kept up with the latest “archeology” that has “proven” the Pharaohs used PAID laborers to build the pyramids. No slaves. No Jews. Just UNION labor.
This is not a surprise to the data-miners. They already know this schlitz doesn’t sell, and that the public is growing angry. Edge cases like myself have been angry since 1992, but now even the normies are starting to clue in.
Screwing with the beer commercials may have been the watershed moment, if I may use my crystal ball to prognosticate. Millions and millions of American men have been doggedly ignoring all of this media blitz and watching their sports shows, even tolerating the likes of Colin Kaepernick and the idiots taking a knee.
But that commercial? That was too much for even sports watching normies to ignore. Millions of Americans paid attention to that. It got on their radar. Anheuser-Busch Inbev broke the Man Code and literally p1ss3d in their beer. AB Inbev products are now, officially, tranny-fluid. Pretty much over for that brand, and all the millions who used to drink it are now paying attention, looking for the next guy who is going to try them on.
So, following that bridge-too-far by the media conglomerate, it is not a surprise to see Woke Queen Cleopatra crash and burn. What we might be seeing here is the true audience for Woke Cleopatra, that being 1.1% of the total viewership. That sounds about right.
It doesn’t bother me that Cleopatra is portrayed by a black woman — or a native American or an Asian or a Polynesian or anyone else. Yes, it’s historically inaccurate, but that’s hardly a new phenomenon in the entertainment business.
But progressives did start this by insisting that only gays depict gays, and so on. They even criticized Zoe Saldana for not being black enough to play Nina Simone.
they also promoted it as “don’t believe what you learned in school, my grandma told me she was black, and that’s all I need to know!”
And
“Documentary”
KM, it doesn’t matter what colour Cleopatra was. She’s been dead for over 2,000 years; she doesn’t care any more. Egypt of the Ptolemies has been gone for over 2,000 years; it doesn’t care any more either. The problem the prog scum have is that there is surviving Egyptian artwork from the period. We know that the Macedonians were caucausian and quite short – about four feet was the median adult height and stayed that way throughout history until about the mid-19th century.
Four feet tall? No. About 5′ 5″
“But progressives did start this by insisting that only gays depict gays, and so on. They even criticized Zoe Saldana for not being black enough to play Nina Simone.”
So…Liam Neeson as Nelson Mandela is out, then?
I believe Cleopatra was of Macedonian ancestry. Ancient Macedonians were known for their redheads. I wonder if Cleopatra was in fact a redhead, or even blonde. Maybe dyed it black?
Interesting thought.
Ask Anthony, he knows what her natural color was.
I tried watching a submarine movie “phantom” I think was called…
The soviet submarine crew all spoke English with various American accents. It was too weird. Couldn’t watch. Just sounded wrong without the traditional Russian or Scottish accent.
Pfffffftttt…let them have their fantasy.
Farrakhan and Al Sharpton have been playing fast and loose with the “We built the pyramids long before whitey came around” trope forever and a day.
Me: “Maybe at the business end of a whip…but don’t tell me y’all did the math.”
The Egyptian gov’t is suing these aholes.
A little while ago, they did another documentary where the King of Norway circa 900AD was a black woman.
