Racism can never end in this world, it can only be hidden but it's still going to be there.

There is a new series that just came out, the series is called Queen Cleopatra.
The series is getting wide spread backslash just because Cleopatra was played by a black woman and because most of the casts are black people.
Even a petition have been signed online for the series to be place on a ban. ( Can you Just imagine)

Most heartbroken thing is that Egyptians are blasting the series too. Calling for the series to be canceled and that Cleopatra was a light skin woman and not black

This isn't racism. This is erasing history.

Imagine I'm telling a story of your grand father and father in a movie and i portray them as white people or Asian.

Would that be racism as well?

you came to rant with half-baked information

Why not do proper research to know why people are bashing the series?

Someone above has already answered it for you anyways...
Imagine making a documentary series about Barrack Obama and using a white-person the act it?

They chose to use a black actress for one reason only -Woke message
They don't care if they falsify history as long as their woke agenda is achieved...

The show was rightly bashed

But the truth is that nobody knows if Cleopatra was black or light skin or white.

Some scholars said she was black , others said she was light skinned.

So truth is that nobody really knows so all these petition doesn't really matter and are all unnecessary.

Does it hurt anyone if queen Cleopatra Is played by a black woman?

For example, Brazil is a mix raced country.
It hurts no one if an ancient queen of Brazil was played by a black or a white woman.

It is called diversity.

Indigenous Brazilians weren't white though. The white mix came in when they were invaded by Europeans. Portraying an ancient Brazilian as white would not only be terribly inaccurate, it would also be very insulting.

It's also well documented that Cleopatra was not black. She was Ptolemaic Greek. Her father was Ptolemy XII and her mother was Cleopatra Tryphaena, both descendants of the Ptolemaic dynasty. Even if she wasn't caucasian, she'd most likely be middle eastern, not black.

It is you that has been easily indoctrinated to accept everything Hollywood gave to you.
Why not do your research properly to find out things for yourself?

This is a link to what the director of the series said and a brief history of Cleopatra.

Like WriiterNig likely notes, this isn't racism, it's pandering. You'll notice Hollywood lately just panders all in an attempt to be "inclusive. They are literally right now making the "black version " of everything made prior. The remake of "The Little Mermaid " just premiered a few days ago with a black cast.

While this may be permissible for fictional characters, it becomes ridiculous to do so for historical figures; Cleopatra is one of them. The same people who claims Cleopatra was black are the same ones who says Jesus was (not like his skin colour matters).

By the way, those who led the charge for the signed petition are mostly Egyptians and not Caucasians like you assumed.

Re: What Series Are You Watching Now? Part 2 by Jarchi(m): 12:05am On May 12, 2023



° Brodaman, it's funny we are all talking about history that was not documented until many many years after. It's just like the bible, some of the writers are "ambiguous" even the gospel writers some didn't see Jesus or heard him, just stories we were told. Stories will be stories. Nobody tells an event without adding or subtracting.
Fact sometimes might not be the truth, that's Def something I know. °




An excerpt
Yet despite their solid credentials and insight into her origins, the talking heads regularly feel more like fans than historians. Some of their insights resemble fan fiction, particularly when they speculate as to how great a lover Cleopatra must have been. Given the two millennia that have passed, describing her and Caesar’s trysts seem overly salacious, but to their credit, the actors perform it with steamy aplomb.

Are Egyptians black? Northern African are not blacks so why make a story about their history with black casts.

I see a lot of black people falling for this woke thing easily because of racism. Just leave their history and culture alone.

There are enough movies that celebrate blacks and our cultures, let's enjoy those without complaining about everything.

Imagine if black panther was acted by a white actor.

Citadel episode 4 is a solid 9/10 for me.

This is by far the best episode so far, even though the time of this episode is kind of short, just 39 minutes. The episode was still a hit back to back.

Secrets upon secrets, mystery upon mystery, can't wait to see how it will end.

Mehn!! This is why i love Netflix, they will just give you all the episodes at once.

Now we have to wait for another week again for a new episode.

My brother in Christ why are you torturing yourself like this

Why don't you wait for all the episodes to drop in an about two months and then binge everything.

That is what I did for Last Of Us, Yellowjackets and most of these new shows.

The only show I cannot use the binge model for is House of the Dragon because it's difficult to avoid spoilers.
