correct. Movies in 500 years will go woke and make Elon Musk black and people will argue it’s accurate because he was African

I thought the consensus in Hollywood was that you must use the proper race, gender, body type, age, etc or you were doing the wrong to whatever intersectional community the character belonged to.
Guess not

I’m sure Hollywood is planning a MLK biopic with Andy Garcia or Tom Hanks playing the civil rights activist as we speak.

Where was Hannibal from? I thought it was North Africa


He was from Carthage (South West Mediterranean). Now in the country if Tunisia. A fair way away from Macedonia (North East Mediterranean).

Maybe you should sit this one out

Modern day Tunisia, NOT Macedonia. However, he wasn’t a native. He was from the Caanantites which colonized Cathage(modern day Tunisia)


He was of Phoenician descent as all Carthage was

Ever hear of a place called Carthage?


In fairness, Carthage isn't taught much in schools these days, probably primarily because Carthage functionally ceased to exist

And what exactly do you think the Canaanites were? It’s basically interchangeable with Phonecian

It still exists next to Egypt, just under the dirt / sand these days. I think now it would be where Egypt stopped all the way across North Africa to the Atlantic.

we don't often get to see or hear stories about black queens.

So make up a damn story about a black queen. It's like the guy who wrote roots made that shite up to quote "give his people a myth to live by". Ole jada is stealing from Egyptians culture!
