Then it's a good thing that's not what the trans movement is after at all, isn't it?I’m not a fan of the trans movement, as if they are somehow better than real women.
Everyone loves getting offended by everything. It’s a problem when people don’t believe what they stand for, but simply stand for what’s trending. I’m not a fan of the trans movement, as if they are somehow better than real women. I don’t care if you want to dress up, have surgery or wear my favorite lipstick, but stop trying to force other people to accept it. Also stop pretending you can wear a tampon.
Egyptian people are upset about this movie, I don’t have any issue with this. My issue is how we in America believe we own the rights to racism and we get to decide what is and what isn’t. You don’t fight racism by being racist…only in America, sigh. I support people not buying Bud because people voting with their wallets is real power.
It’s shortsighted to frame every argument as right vs left, but it keeps this forum going. We also get our soapbox moments. Like this one.
Then the fact that Jesus has been shown a a blue-eyed white man throughout history must be especially upsetting to you, right?Netflix Series Which Incorrectly Featured Cleopatra as Black Woman Gets Worst Audience Score in TV History
By: Jason Walsh

The Netflix series about Cleopatra, which changed the race of the title character from Greek/Macedonian to an African black woman, has suffered the worst audience score in TV history.
As The Daily Fetched reported last month, the government of Egypt has slammed Netflix for the portrayal, accusing them of falsely rating history for politics.
The secretary-general of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, Mostafa Waziri, said the Netflix show wrongly Featuring Cleopatra was a black woman represents a “falsification of Egyptian history and a blatant historical fallacy.”
"The issue is the conceptualization of what purports to be a historical documentary saying that Cleopatra was a black “African queen,” as this season was supposed to be the first in a series covering different queens from the continent. But there is no terribly credible evidence that Cleopatra was black, and instead, she was of Macedonian Greek descent. The country of Egypt, in particular, has taken offense to the show altering their history this dramatically and portraying it as something they believe is non-factual in a series that is meant to be a documentary."

We've all seen Hamilton, so this is not new. It's always ridiculous on its face (no pun intended).

most definitely. netflix didn't fuck up and already green lit a second season.I like Netflix. $10 a month for it, and $10 for the Disney bundle and there's more content then you could watch in a lifetime.
Highly recommend, Night Agent.
Not at all, in concern for your diminished education I decided to take a minute and upgrade your level of understanding of the subject, which wasn't Jesus Christ but Cleopatra VII, who wasn't black or Syrian. She was a Ptolemy, a descendant of Alexander's half-brother, General Ptolemy. They were Greek-Macedonians who ruled Egypt for 275 years.Wow! You really went to all the trouble of looking up and posting a link to Cleopatra's family tree to prove me wrong in the short time since I posted that post? Man your tighty-whiteys are really twisted in a bunch.

No, because Jesus isn't the subject of this thread. if you want to go there start a thread about it.Then the fact that Jesus has been shown a a blue-eyed white man throughout history must be especially upsetting to you, right?
To your point, I think I learned about Alexander The Great, Ptolemy, and Cleopatra being the last Pharaoh in Jr. Highschool.It's like they don't know anything until someone gives them a linky. And then that's all they know.
Meanwhile most people retain the knowledge they got in school and use that to augment the other things they learn in life rather than discarding it because now that they're "adults" they don't need that stuff noe moe.
But what color were they?To your point, I think I learned about Alexander The Great, Ptolemy, and Cleopatra being the last Pharaoh in Jr. Highschool.
you mean like water being carbon?Meanwhile most people retain the knowledge they got in school and use that to augment the other things they learn in life rather than discarding it because now that they're "adults" they don't need that stuff noe moe.
Here's a Greek likeness of Ptolemy I Soto, Alexander's General, and Cleopatra VII he or she wasn't black:But what color were they?
You do understand that the color in an unpainted sculpture is just the color of the stone it's made from, right?Here's a Greek likeness of Ptolemy I Soto, Alexander's General, and Cleopatra VII he or she wasn't black:
The point was, their features Identify them as Greek Caucasians not Africans or Arabs.You do understand that the color in an unpainted sculpture is just the color of the stone it's made from, right?
But the question was rhetorical....I don't fucking care what color they are.
And please tell us what that means to you in terms of who they were.The point was, their features Identify them as Greek Caucasians not Africans or Arabs.
No way I would skip Stranger Things 5!You can't fight racism without being a racist. It was something that was brilliantly demonstrated by Stephen Colbert who would always claim not to see color and thus didn't understand why this person was treated differently.
Yes people love being offended, no Americans don't hold the patent on racism. Didn't know that was something we thought but there are lots of things I don't know.
Voting with your wallet is a very, very limited thing. The only voting with my wallet I could do about Ron Desantis is not visit Disney World, Universal Studios and Sea World. I live in CA we have all of those here and on par with them for the most part.
For people pissed about black Cleopatra who. . .where were these guys with Hamilton came out and was literally one of if not THE highest show for a few years? This is more then wanting to be pissed at Netflix. Are they gonna decide this is a big enough deal to skip Stranger Things 5? If they are THAT petty so be it..
California ran a surplus last year. We're no more broke than any other state aside from we're good for our bills.
Racism is something we can solve but not seeing color is just ignoring the problem.

When did trans people say they were better than women?Everyone loves getting offended by everything.

Who believes they own the rights to racism?Egyptian people are upset about this movie, I don’t have any issue with this. My issue is how we in America believe we own the rights to racism and we get to decide what is and what isn’t. You don’t fight racism by being racist…only in America, sigh.
