Netfix Cleopatra: "WE WAS KWEENS!"

Greetings!

Here is a great discussion video of Netflix and their new Cleopatra series.

Black Pigeon Speaks is awesome!

The video is hilarious, and also disturbing. Yet another example of how History and truth are being flushed down the drain in favour of lies and racist, Black Supremacy bullshit.

Semper Fidelis,

Greetings!

Here also is an excellent reaction analysis to the Netflix Trailer for Cleopatra by the historian, Metatron. Metatron is an Italian--Sicilian, historian, and expert in the Classical World as well as ancient armour, weapons, and fighting.

Metatron takes the Trailer apart piece by piece, and hones in on some very dangerous and absolutely ignorant, racist, Black Supremacy bs.

So pathetic that this racist garbage and lies are being pushed by Netflix as a HISTORICAL DOCUMENTARY.

Here is why this forum tends to be so stupid. Many people here think Joe Biden is "The Left", when he is actually Far Right and every US republican is just an idiot.

Metatron has excellent content.  Lately he's been kept pretty busy debunking all the a-historical agenda-driven bullshit out there.

I had a hard time not laughing when I watched the Netflix documentary about Three Mile Island with it's hints of assassins hired by Babcock & Wilcox Incorporated and a government cover-up of radioactive gas venting leading to contaminated deadly neighborhoods. Then I realized that there were morons out there who were going to believe this crap because it was listed as a documentary and it wasn't so funny anymore.
"Meh."

I disagree with Metatron's final statement. I can't imagine anyone so embroiled in identity politics, even a corporate suit, that they'd make Cleoblackra, would be concerned about the money.
The notion of an exclusionary and hostile RPG community is a fever dream of zealots who view all social dynamics through a narrow keyhole of structural oppression.

Actual Egyptians are criticizing it. https://egyptindependent.com/hawass-criticizes-depicting-cleopatra-as-black-in-netflix-film/

Id say Black people rank on the stack higher then middle easterners, so outvoted.

Probably the middle eastern face of huwhite supremacy anyway.

Also notice who's behind this "documentary" : Jada Pinkett Smith

Thorn Drumheller

Just remember it's our fault.

Jada Pinkett Smith says she blames 'white supremacists' for the flop of her new Netflix docudrama series, Queen Cleopatra, which has one the worst audience ratings in U.S. television history.

There's another reason to not portray Cleopatra as black: she probably would have wanted to be portrayed as pale. Why? Because "women should be lighter/fairer than men" was a beauty standard of Egypt and the Mediterranean from the Old Kingdom down to at least Roman times (and many cultures still).

Timothe

For Netflix to label this as a documentary should be a crime.

Oh yeah! It is pretty sad. I saw this one Egyptian girl, Nora, she had made a Tik Tok video talking about how she disapproved of her culture being misappropriated , twisted, and lied about.

This young Egyptian girl, under 25 years old, has been DELUGED with thousands of DM's and comments from Black people screaming at her, insulting her, degrading her in every way imaginable. Calling her "A filthy, dirty Arab girl that needs to be raped over and over." Many claim she is scum, and the descendant of dogs, sheep, and pigs. She needs to die. Mindless, constant streams of absolute hate poured on her by black people. Many of which, have been "African Americans." So many, many black people are drenched in mindless hatred, black supremacy, racism against everyone else, and full of Afrocentrism.

Absolutely disgusting.

I hope this film series gets bathed in napalm.
