This isn't the first time Netflix has done this:

ABB7-B8-CF-0-D76-4469-9-F8-A-68-EB20-E0339-F-1-105-c

The BBC is particularly good at depicting non-black historical figures as black:

CED57-C51-4-E37-4-F1-D-98-B2-B8-DF9-FA3-B533-4-5005-c

Unsurprising.

it seems that Nefertiti also seems to be a frequent target of “African appropriation”.

if you ask an actual Egyptian if Nefertiti was black. The enevitable response is the Egyptian will lose their Sh*t..

Jim west, Ralph Cramden and Nick Fury weren’t black either but that didn’t stop Hollywood now did it?

Now there’s this movie Chevalier where apparently a black is the hero by killing white men and nailing white women.....I wonder who the target audience is.

My Mother said the city is changing the spelling to Muscogee.

Africans are claiming ALL HISTORICAL FIGURES AS BEING BLACK. EVEN THE FOUNDING FATHERS OF AMERICA. They’ve got a lot of mental issues.

Hamilton was black?

I thought he was white like our founding fathers.
