There are a number of questions regarding the whole Odyssey saga. One is how somebody as smart as Christopher Nolan got entangled with woke nonsense in the first place. (And yes, Nolan is smart – anybody who could take a storyline as convoluted as that of Memento and make it not only comprehensible but enthralling to the average audience is no slouch when it comes to intellect.) Another is why he felt compelled to pick up wokism just as it’s collapsing in the culture at large. It’s May 1945 in the Wachenbunker and everybody else is fleeing – but here comes Nolan racing through the ruins.
Black Athena: The Afroasiatic Roots of Classical Civilization was a 1987 book (there were two other volumes, but nobody paid any attention to them) by British academic Martin Bernal. Written under the impetus of political correctness, the '80s version of wokism, Black Athena argued that the bulk of Greek culture of the classic period was derived from Africa, specifically from Egypt, but by extension from sub-Saharan Africa. (Bernal knew full well that the Egyptians weren’t black, but that made no difference.)
Bernal was the son of the legendary British physicist J.D. Bernal, who among other things was to first to suggest building massive orbital colonies, decades before Gerard O’Neill revived the idea in the 1970s. He was also a fanatic communist, which he passed on to his offspring.
Is this beginning to come together?

I want Danny Devito as Shaka Zulu.
You just know the history of the “ Black Irish” is ripe for the picking.
Locally, a “free black man” is celebrated for having bought historic Fort Frederick after it stopped being a military installation.
Photos of him and his family are pastier than I am.
Stick straight hair, too.
But don’t you dare point that out.
Spit out my tea.

I talked with a man who had a meeting with her. He said she looks much better in person than she does on screen.
Good lord.
You’d have to look at her with one eye loser then because she’s just beautiful.
