>>>I’ve never seen a Greek woman........................<<<

I don’t know if you’re serious or just kidding, however, if you’re serious and you live close enough, take a day trip to Tarpon Springs and you’ll see Greek women!

I understand the Egyptians are having a cow and demanding that this purported documentary be banned from their country for the misrepresentations

They're racist in that part of the world? Me? I just find the whole thing to be woke. But it's whatever. Alexander Hamilton was black, ya know?

Halle Berry would have been a good choice 30 years ago. She’s 56 now.

Still pretty today. Anyway, the point is that if they wanted to go woke, they should have chose somebody who's hot. Like Halle Berry in her prime.

Ptolemy I Soter was Macedonian Greek; it’s been suggested that he may have been a half-brother of Alexander.

"The only error with Liz Taylor as Cleopatra is that the original Cleo is supposed to have been not good-looking, but had enough other skills to keep adversaries at bay."

Q: What do Greek women put behind their ears to make themselves more attractive to men?

A: Their feet.

She was plain looking. But she had a great mind and was politically smart. Also she came from a power family of the 1st century BCE. Powerful men were drawn to her, because she was someone you could rule the world with. As a side, the oldest painting of her shows her with red hair.

The director a dyke Iranian who openly admits she wanted this

Like the series Spartacus had blacks and promoted queers from a homosexual director who also claimed he was social engineering

Often Hollywood places their wokeness over money

Yes even those folks people claim run Hollywood which runs counter to the stereotype

I doubt Warner or Mayer or Goldwyn would have but this is a new bunch

Yes, they have to insinuate their politics into everything they do. They can’t help themselves. The y believe everyone else thinks like they do, because they speak only to other liberals in their self-made echo chamber.

I have been an Asimov fan since the 60’s.

Thanks for the heads up.

All Netflix original productions are negros and queers, every one, all the time. The story line is always secondary to tne negros and queers

Netflix caught the disesae from ACORN TV
