Jada Pinkett Smith: 'White Supremacy' Responsible for Cleopatra’s Terrible Audience Score

Jada Pinkett Smith says she blames ‘white supremacists’ for the flop of her new Netflix docudrama series, Queen Cleopatra, which has one the worst audience ratings in U.S. television history.
The show has an abysmal 1% approval score. It also caused a huge backlash in Egypt by inaccurately portraying Cleopatra as a black woman.
As part of Jada’s “woke” crusade, she forced the show’s producers to change the race of Cleopatra to match her own.
“Cleopatra was Greek, which means she was fair-skinned, not black,” former Egyptian Minister of Antiquities Zahi Hawass pointed out.
Slaynews.com reports: According to The LA Times: “Cleopatra was born in the Egyptian port city of Alexandria in 69 BC and succeeded her father in 51 BC to rule until her death in 30 BC amid the expansion of the Roman Empire.
“Egyptologists have confirmed that she was Macedonian-Greek on the side of her father, Ptolemy XII, but her maternal heritage is less clear; little is known about her birth mother’s ethnic origin.
“Historians have said it’s possible that she, or any other female ancestor, was an Indigenous Egyptian or from elsewhere in Africa.
“…Egyptian lawyer Mahmoud al-Semary filed a complaint with Egypt’s public prosecutor to request that Netflix be blocked in the North African nation due to the promotion of ‘Afrocentric thinking,’ including ‘slogans and writings aimed at distorting and erasing the Egyptian identity.’”
Hollywood doesn’t care about historical accuracy as long as the show is a hit among “woke” audiences.
However, Smith’s new show is a dud.
One reviewer said:
“It is hard to take this ‘documentary’ seriously when there are errors in just about every scene.
“Ancient Egypt existed for three and a half millennia, and the Ptolemaic period of Greek control and its involvement in Roman policies, especially the Roman civil wars is a very specific period.
“For example, no Egyptian was spoken at the court, Greek was spoken.
“But getting costumes wrong, getting basic timelines of battles (like Actium) wrong, placing Cleopatra at events we know she was not present at, mixing up things done by Anthony with those done by Octavian and an unending series of errors just makes this impossible to watch.
“It is clear no experts, or even anyone with a basic knowledge of the history of the time and place was involved, or if they were, their advice was inverted.
“The dialogue is also laughably childish, as is the acting.”

What was JPS's actual comment? I don't see it anywhere

I will wait for Jay Aye to enter thread, agree with Jada, then admit he has not watched the show nor will he, collect his downvotes that apparently sustain his life force, then bow out of thread.

White supremacy is the cause of every problem in America and the world today. And white people don't respond. It is what it is.

“Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered. And the process is continuing day by day and minute by minute. History has stopped. Nothing exists except an endless present in which the Party is always right.”

well did she ask them to buy tickets?
i think she clearly asked them not to, so how was it their fault again?

I wonder if it ever gets exhausting for them always being a "victim"?

Let me get this right.
The LA Times researched some basic fact that you could find on wikipedia or a dictionary
Their simple googling was then "reported" by slaynews.com
Which was then included in an article on thepeoplesvoice.tv
This is hard hitting stuff folks

They’re so stupid that their main argument for race swapping Cleopatra was “wELL eLiZaBeTh TaYLoR DiD iT!”
Elizabeth Taylor started in a fictional movie 70 years ago as Cleopatra. You made a DOCUMENTARY about her and falsified her race, which is easily proven, considering there’s numerous sculptures and paintings of her to prove she was in no way shape or form black.
And of course, it’s all the evil white people’s fault that everyone on Earth thinks this is a piece of shite.
