Netflix is making a show about Queen Cleopatra..Another Historical Fail

a reply to: vNex92

I don't care how many historical figures Hollyweird portrays as a different ethnicity. It's play acting any way. What I want to know is why Asians, Mexicans, Indians, and Middle Eastern folks aren't getting their turn to play one of these characters. Seems very racist to me.

I don't care what ethnicity plays who , or what gender they affiliate themselves with .
I will not do netflix ever again (since 2004)

I work on many Netflix projects. It's a business designed to entertain and make money, not educate.

For those unhappy with the state of the content; Netflix will consider your script, treatment or outline for future production, always looking for material.

Instead of the constant whine....write something....start here.

to submit....they have rooms full of people reading submissions. Here's a good guide to get you started.

Not surprised, dropped netflix when I saw they gave the Obama's 100 million for content. Propaganda
Now everything is Wakanda for ever.

I dropped it several years ago when every time I logged in, there was a series that reflected my race in a negative manner and promoted other races. I'm all for equality, but since Netflix wasn't, I dropped them. I'll log into someone else's account to watch Stranger Things when a new series drops every other year and that's all.

Blacks as sacred cows is so 2020. Now it's Trannies.
The people of Ancient Egypt were Semitic/Turkic:

Go to web archive and type in this article which has since been scrubbed: bigthink.com...

They found that the ancient Egyptians were most closely related to the peoples of the Near East, particularly from the Levant. This is the Eastern Mediterranean which today includes the countries of Turkey, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Syria, and Lebanon.

They have. See my post on page 2.

Got that archived URL for you, Chris, Here

ETA-- good read, thanks!

Cheers

aha! neat trick. Thank you, sir.

Why would this have been scrubbed from the internet after being published in 2017? hmmm
Not Afro centric enough?

Are you mad about the time Elizabeth Taylor played her back in the 60's?

Or Lyndsey Marshal in the show Rome?

Angelina Jolie in 2019?

It's okay to rewrite history with lily white actresses playing middle easterners, but not with a mixed actress who is probably pretty similar in skin tone to the historic Cleopatra?

I like how the URL redirects one to an article about deja vu

I'm keeping my subscription to Netflix just so I can watch the George Washington series and he's being portrayed by a lesbian Hispanic woman in a wheelchair.



When George and Martha get busy, it's going to be HAWT!

a reply to: LordAhriman

LOL.
Your worldview is very unique.

So you are saying this:



Looks like a greek woman, like this:


This is a bust FROM LIFE of Cleopatra


Greek Macedonian women:



You do you, I guess....

Yall do realize the area has 4,000 years of history.

The walls are very specific about who was there for certain times. Also there were black Greeks and areas in Europe were conquered by Black's.

At the time I believe there was a mix of peoples. She was mostly black or Turkish descent.

But yea Egypt was like America today.

a reply to: Cambury

Incorrect. Cleopatra's father was a Macedonian Greek. When in the ancient world, did black people conquer Macedonia? Can you provide a source please? And Turkish people look NOTHING like sub-Saharan Africans. lol

If you don't like Netflix, try this and keep your eye out for old Olaru.

It's on Prime....

As far as we know, she was Greek, Persian, and Iranian. Aka not white.

Who am I kidding? You people think Jesus was white.

How Dare!!!

They should do a remake of "Roots" but with an all-white cast, in blackface.

Seems about the same thing, doesn't it?
