**The trailer for the upcoming biopic of Shaka Zulu looks pretty good:**

It ought to appeal to women and especially trans, cuz he’s sporting plenty of eye makeup and eye shadow just like the stupid jack sparrow character.

Everything Netflix does reminds me of video versions of old Ray Stevens songs.

I always thought Cleo looked like Claudette Colbert and Antony looked like Henry Wilcoxon.

ROTFL! She looks like she used to sing for one of the old 60s “girl groups”.

This nonsense has been around for decades. I went sideways with our Command Sgt Major as his wife was DSPRs personnel (Pay) and had all that black bullsh!t in her office: black ALexander the great, black Octavian, black Cleopatra, black Napoleon! As a history major (and an officer) I really read her the riot act at the complete farce that stuff is. Battalion CO wanted me to apologize to her. Hell no, sir, I'll just send my XO. I could tell BN CO and BDE CO had had problems with her and the CSM had to deal with that BS from his wife. She simply hated white people. This was 2001 when we were spun up for Operation Freedom Eagle.

Cleopatra was a blue eyed Greek.

The Macedonian Greek Ptolemaic rulers of Egypt didn't even speak Egyptian, language spoken by their subjects. Cleopatra was the only ruler who learned to speak it and to read Egyptian hieroglyphics--and she also learned at least six other languages.

Let’s also be specific - native Egyptians in general were “white”-ish i.e. Caucasian, right from the pre-dynastic period.

Ramesses, Tutankhamun etc. were “brown” in skin tone.

There was a dynasty, the 25th, from Nubia who were “black” as in Sub-Saharan African - who ruled around 700 BC.

Why don’t the Afrocentrists focus on the Nubian dynasty?

well, everyone does it.

The British leave out that the Poles cracked Enigma, not the Brits (and in one American film it was the Americans who did so).

Then Mel Gibson completely distorted the story of William Wallace.

But even if we stick to “history” as taught in schools - well, everyone does it

She was primarily of Greek (as the Macedonian ruling class was Greek originally) secondarily Macedonian (Thracian/Dacian) and guessed as having a Persian ancestor as one of Seleuces’ daughters, from the Persian noblewoman he married, married a Ptolemy
