re: Netflix Sued in Egypt for Casting Black Woman As Cleopatra

Suddenly, I’m sitting here with the staff of Ra.

New Hitler movie is gonna be dope

We've seen this attempt out of Madison Avenue more than a few times with their depicting images of the mythical Rapunzel and Cinderella as such in "commercials."

Then Broadway did it with Dorothy from "the Wizard."

Now Rapunzel is back to being white.

But they've shown a distinct tendency to keep up the narrative as long as nobody says anything about it.

It's a constant probe, another test at just how much the pliant populace is willing to accept, or at least look the other way on.

Anyone interested in supporting this particular approach to history and learning just about every aspect of it, visit our Amistad Research Center at Tulane.

It was originally housed at the Old Mint, but Tulane decided it should house such an important historical center - striving for the truth.

Just some of what can be found there:

Cleopatra was black.

Same goes for Hannibal.

Beethoven and Haydn. How and why?

Because they were both described as "swarthy" in appearance.

But they are correct on Russia's Pushkin.

Then they try to thread the needle and do the chasmic reach by trying to get someone, anyone to believe the premise that everything Aristotle knew he had learned from Egypt's Great Library at Alexandria.

Even though Aristotle lived prior to its flourishing.

It was culture shock over here after going to the Amistad Research Center when it was at the Old Mint and then visiting the Egyptian Pavilion at our '84 World's Fair and seeing those beautiful white Egyptian girls.

Lovely images that never changed, even with successive replacements of crews/performers there during our many visits.

Couldn't help leaving there without thinking that "someone is trying to lie to somebody."

This is nothing new about Cleopatra.

Back in the '90s, NewsWeek did an extensive, similar story on it.

It was the premise of a leftist Britisher who the magazine gave quite an expanded platform for him to defend his theory.

He insisted that Cleopatra - the original Ptolemaic one - was black.

When he was asked why he would go out on such a limb that threatened his reputation and credibility as a professor of history since all available historical and archeological evidence is to the contrary, his only response was something to the effect, "Because the white man has to be taken down a notch."

And that was it.

He left it hanging there with no further explanation.

Smacks of a kind of desperation that seems to have been festering among such types for a very long time.

But the white liberal will go to any preposterous lengths to feel good about himself, while thinking naively that he's also somehow buying peace for himself.
