Was Queen Charlotte Black? Here’s what we know.
Washington Post ^ | December 27, 2020 | DeNeen L. Brown

Posted on 12/27/2020 8:32:38 AM PST by C19fan

In “Bridgerton,” the new Shonda Rhimes period drama on Netflix, the lords and ladies of early 19th century Britain are depicted as Black as well as White.

Why? Washington Post television critic Hank Stuever explains it this way: “A Black character stops to explain, grandly, how and why this society came to be integrated. (Answer: because the queen is a person of color.) Not only does it not make much sense, but it seems like an unnecessary wrench thrown into a completely sensible and revisionary romp: People of color are here because they should have been here all along. Isn’t that reason enough?”

Good gawd. So I hate this ****ed up world we live in. Considering the best case for the race mongers is, Queen Charlotte, wife of George III, has even less "African" blood, more like Arab/Barber blood, than Fauxcahontas. This claim is based some potential mixing of a Portugal Royal Family with a dark skinned Moor during the 13th century 400 years prior to the birth of Queen Charlotte. I do it find it amazing the race mongers have resurrected the racist one drop rule for racial identification.

In the itty bitty minds of too many being African is the same as being black.

You’re missing the most important issue...

What pronoun did Queen Charlotte want to be recognized by?

Coming to America fantasy of African royalty that never existed.

It is a fictional fantasy fraud. It is Africanization in the crudest terms

If you like the books, don’t go waste your time on the series.

Stunt casting is the least of it.

They should come out with a Biopic of Martin Luther King. Leonardo DiCaprio would be perfect in the lead role.

Just imagine if the Muslim hordes hadn’t obliterated most North Africans along with the classical civilization of North Africa?

The Berbers persisted because they were even tougher than the murdering invaders and lived in lands even Arabs might balk at.

Every BBC shows historic British lords and ladies as being black.

It really is an attempt to erase history.

Get ready: Virtually all cinema, advertising,popular literature, political speech in the “new era” will feature the theme: “All hail globalism”. The propaganda extolling “multiculturalism” was meant to prepare Americans for a globalist future and the destruction of thie nation and heritage. The demented, corrupt Biden is the perfect figurehead for these vile, globalist traitors.

Story written by DeNeen L. Brown. I thought "DeNeen" was spelled De'Neen.

Wonder if she is related to bad Leroy Brown? You know the one who Jim Croce said looks like old King Kong?

1. The family history tracing is very speculative.
2. Even if true, Queen Charlotte’s ‘African Ancestry’ is 500 years remote from when she lived and I rather doubt that genes that remote would still have much impact on her facial features or skin coloration.
3. This is MSN so they deal in this kind of “wishing it were true” reporting.

From a couple of weeks ago...

BBC told to abolish TV licence fee as it 'fails to offer unbiased' coverage THE BBC has been told to abolish the TV licence fee as the publicly-funded broadcaster "fails to offer unbiased" news coverage, a political leader has claimed.

Blah. Blah. Blah.

We’re all black. We’re all gay. We’re all whatever we’re told to be. Every child is a mutt now, vs. a thoroughbred - except for the children of our ‘betters.’

Gal Gadot is under attack for playing Cleopatra. Blacks seem to think Cleopatra is now black.

WAKANDA FOREVER.
