Why some Egyptians are fuming over Netflix's Black Cleopatra

Which is middle eastern (Egypt)

 

There was no such thing as middle East or Arabs at this time. Do keep up.

That's like saying spain built the Mayan pyramids.

 

And how does this this discredit its middle eastern heritage. African and middle eastern cultures are very different. Both cultures can be found on the African continent but they are culturally different

 

Terminology has changed I won’t deny that just as you shouldn’t deny the difference in cultures which is why later they were separated in terminology.

 

Spain built the Mayan pyramids!

 

We’re not talking about Spain or the Mayans.

 

But this is the logic you are attempting to use. Just because Arabs live in Egypt now, it doesn't mean they always have done. Just like Spaniards live in Mexico now, it doesn't mean they always have.

Does this make sense to you?

 

Segregation and race based violence has only skyrocketed.

And now you've pissed off egypt. Good job! Bridges are forming lol

 

What ME heritage?
And is not the thread about skin color?

 

It will pass.
Just like interracial marriages being bad has passed.

Dinosaurs die off.

 

Yes it makes sense to me, it also makes sense that Egypt has always had a culture that separates them from any other culture in Africa by far. Really they were an amazing people. It could be said that their greatness was built on the back of slaves but they did have the means to invest in science. If I recall right they also were the first to use glass. But Egypt was not African culturally and never was. You can make that argument with Sudan (which I still disagree with) but Egypt stood out of the crowd. Their culture of faiths even fall far more in line with middle eastern culture. Cleopatra was not black though. Not even if she had Egyptian mother which is said to be very unlikely. Plenty of historians will denounce the idea that she is black and some it seems are suing Netflix for it to keep it out of Egypt (as per the article). She is likely more European than black.

 

It’s about cleopatras skin color, not all skin color. And she was not black

 

That’s a different topic but I disagree with you, i believe it’s coming back (segregation)

 

Then why is Sudan, the land of the black man, a topic of your thread?

 

Doubtful.
Redlining has been illegal for a while. And will likely remain so.

 

These are an old people these are young people fella

 

Yes, i agree, "the land of the Blacks" as it was called in antiquity was unique to all other civilizations, it was the first.

 

Time will tell.
We won't be going back to banning interracial marriage.

But for racism to become mostly a non issue, you and I will be dead.
But it will happen.

 

she was black in todays sense.

 

If you keep hyper focusing in on race, then racism will be a bigger issue. Races are not going anywhere. And nobody is suggesting to ban interracial marriage.

 

ive seen a drastic reduction in racism by american right wingers on this forum over the years, so us anti racists out here appear to be doing well in changing the attitutudes of such.

im more concerned with these organisations and cults that hide behind religion and "charities" that foster deep rooted anti black hatred. their children are conditioned from a young age, often forbidden from watching tv, surfing the internet, they go to special schools that have other children with identical upbringings. these are the real instigators we need to focus on.

black folk just want to be loved and accepted. look how they copy white culture, everywhere black folk are, they try to "fit in". that is not a people we need to be concerned about. we need to look elsewhere.

 

The black folk like the ones who ran Walmart out of town? Those folk?

lol.

These forums are not a barometer for current events in the United States. And nobody on the conservative side was anti black. But you progressives sure as **** are anti white.

Doesn't look like things are getting better.

And OH LOOK! You've rediscovered segregation! Weeee!

It was the first but it wasn’t the greatest. That’s another topic however. We should start a debate on what civilization was the greatest in the history of humanity.

 

Couldn’t agree more

 

No….. she is not. Not even close. Show me one person today who references natural Greeks as blacks
