Why some Egyptians are fuming over Netflix's Black Cleopatra

No I am not cherry picking

This thread is not about all that other crap

It is about Cleopatra which is the subject of the thread

 

By today or any days standard she was not black

Everyone world wide is a mixed race to one extent or the other. the Greeks are not black

Yes you are a racist and pewople world wide are racist and have been forever. Your claim about American history and racism is a politically driven bald faced lie. People in America are racially mixed far more than your people. Thus proving your claim a lie

 

Clearly you care more since it is you more than anyone trying to perpetuate a lie.

 

Greeks are white.

 

I am not American ... but you're welcome

 

One more time, people of every society depict him as like themselves.

There is no white society as you imply and no they do not do ANYTHING as a whole

History proves you wrong. white supremacists are a fringe minority. You are the one calling all whites white supremacists. I know better.

You do not get to make up imaginrary standards and definitions and treat them as fact. You are posting out right lies

 

No... But Clearly you care more

 

I am posting truth you are posting revisionist propoganda

 

Learn how to read the OP.
This thread's topic is most certainly not limited to Cleopatra. In fact, the very first line, Joe Knows writes, is: "Looks to me like blacks are culture appropriating."

Note, Soupnazi, that Cleopatra gets lower billing, to the word "black," which is mentioned four times, before Cleopatra's name, and then again, in the same sentence along with her, and with Jesus-- Whom, himself, was being mentioned for the second time.


This does somewhat explain the silliness of your replies, though.

 

Not according to the Aussies, but that's another thread.

 

I wouldn’t say he’s trying to push a lie. He’s just defending the very thing blacks complain about so long as it’s blacks doing it. I would say it’s an apologist approach

 

Sudan also does not share African culture and again is considered part of the Middle East

 

They’re definitely not black though

 

Ithought you weren't. Most real Americans don't care what race Cleo was because it doesn't bother them. Which is why I said it was WJE propaganda that disputes the race of ancient Egypt and Israel because it is their national duty to spread a racist ideology whereby all the ancient Israelites and Egyptians were white. Their very survival in Israel is entirely dependent on this racist ideology that the biblical Jews were a white nation.

It's the foundation of what we today call white supremacy, which began in the 15th century.

 

Ok so you don't care what colour Jesus was either right?

 

It really won't.
Sure, to those who don't like black it will. But those folks are becoming less and less with each passing generation.

Skin color is only that.

 

Sudan or rather بلاد السودان as it's known in Arabic means "land of the blacks". It was named by the Arabs and was a region that stretched from west Africa to East Africa, across the sahel. The name Sudan was later given to the kingdom of nubia (also known as "the ‎land of the bows).

 

by today's standards Cleo would be what we call black. Greeks are a mixed race, we aren't racist and have been mixing with Africans and Asians for millennia. We are originally Turks, so our stock is Asian before European and given the influence Africa had over us, teaching us about science, philosophy, maths and religion it was only natural for us to mix with Africans.

Since the destruction of the second temple, Africa has been under constant attack from plundering pirates and armies from Asia and Europe, therefore Greeks have had less interaction with Africa in the modern era because as I stated, Africa has been besieged for 2000 years now. So naturally greeks would take on the appearance of these conquering tribes from Europe

 

None which takes away from its middle eastern heritage.

 

African culture did not bring about science. That footing can again be given to the middle eastern culture.

 

Sudan literally means "land of the blacks"

 

Ancient Km.t, which is in Africa is where all of the Greek philosophers went to study. The library of Alexandria, in Km.t was the biggest library in the world at the time.

 

Which still does not take away from its middle eat heritage….

 

Sudan, the nation, has a strong connection with the Arabs. Nobody ever said it didn't.
