Queen Cleopatra

A fictional fantasy being passed off as a documentary. Need I say more? It is ridiculous that something like this can be funded and supported by Netflix. Culturally appropriating and changing a whole history and culture, completely undermines archeological and historical facts just to serve the delusions of the culture-less. Someone's grandma claims Cleopatra is black is just a fraction of how big of a joke this so-called documentary is. Embarrassing.

Well, here it is. Hollywood race swapped Cleopatra, and then called Egypt "racist" for wanting to preserve it's history from being rewritten. And now, to not be called "racist" by the people who rewrote history to put in their racial politics, you have idiots claiming that no one knows if Cleopatra was African or not... so mission accomplished, they successfully re-wrote Egyptian History, shamed the Egyptians, and insulted their heritage so much that Netflix is being sued by Egypt... and in the process convinced some woke morons that history can be rewritten, to suit racial politics, and they are somehow evil racists for not believing the fiction. And then of course those same idiots point out that Cleopatra was a product of inbreeding "that no one mentions," which is sort of the point, the Ptolemaic Dynasty was proudly inbred... because the founder was a general for Alexander, and like Alexander, from Macedonia. That doesn't really strengthen the argument that doesn't really strengthen the argument that "No one knows if Cleopatra was Black," it sort of reinforces the point that she wasn't. They were so Greek, that she was the first one in her Dynasty to speak the native language... I mean, really, if you can't accept the facts, YOU have the problem, not the people arguing she wasn't Black. And if you don't know your history... you REALLY shouldn't be weighing in on the debate... because other people actually know theirs. This is a train wreck, the least that they could do is drop words like "Docu" Jada's grandma might have some yarns to spin about Egyptian history... and mine did too, mostly about the healing effects of putting onions in your shoes. But just because grandma tells you something, doesn't mean it's true. So what you have is a fictionalized depiction of Cleopatra... REAL cultural appropriation, if you will... that insults Egyptians today, historian, and anyone with an IQ above 40.

A simplistic drama/documentary view of Cleopatra and her entanglements with Julius Caesar and Marc Antony which has yet again ignited the black debate. No one really knows if Cleopatra was African black, as it were, yet even the Egyptians are enraged that she is portrayed in this way, although the actress, Adele James is of mixed race and therefore coffee coloured. I say simplistic because it's an accurate historical account of Cleopatra's life for anyone who wants a quick history lesson, but it's tainted by modern verbiage from the quasi academics who provide historical input. It's odd that so many people are stuck in a never ending argument about Cleopatra's colour, yet no one, as far as I can see, has even mentioned the fact that she married two of her brothers. We'll finish it tonight, not having watched something amazing, which it certainly isn't, because it definitely has an agenda, but because we have learned a little more about that epoch.
