Basically, we end up with two groups of idiots arguing in favor of completely ahistorical notions, both from a deep-seated insecurity.


Oh do tell.

The “predictable pattern”


You are literally the King of predictable patterns....your lack of self awareness is clinical.

Did the commander of the Amazons (a fraction of Dahomey military forces) try to change that arrangement IRL? Who knows, but probably not. Historical fiction is full of that sort of license for the sake of an entertaining story.

Was there actually an historic D'Artagnan in the (real) Musketeers, and (if so) did he really do any of things reflected in the novel and films? Probably not.


But people know that the stories of the musketeers has its many made up parts for film. We will have twitter/tik tok posts of people acting like this movie is factual regarding her true actions. Its not a little itty bitty stretch, but totally made up on something that needs not be "black washed." As now anyone that points the truth out will be called a racist.

Bunch of white guilt parents posting "wakanda forever" like posts of their kids. you know the type cause you come off as it.

The argument that “caucasians” built the pyramids annoys the crap out of me. It just REEKS of the condescending notion that only Europeans are capable of advancing civilization.

The funny thing is that most people would not be stupid enough to make the argument, if certain Blacks did not make the (equally ridiculous) argument that their own ancestors built them. Insecure people make the ridiculous “caucasian” argument solely to counter the ridiculous “Black” argument.


Lower cases Caucasians, and capitalizes black....brah you've fulfilled your white guilt cuck fill for today. go wash your black owners feet now as an award.

yep, the real history of Dahomey was that it was the world’s #1 slave trade state. It was Africans capturing other Africans and selling their victims as slaves.

You may be right. The difference is that I am willing to watch the film and see. Will you?


Would you be willing to watch a film that showed the heroic struggle of the Confederacy against the evil northerners who were hell bent on crushing the Confederacy’s way of life?

Or a movie about how Nazi Germany faced evil enemies invading from the east, west, and south with the evil aim of depriving Germany the right to enslave and murder people as part of their culture?

Those YouTube comments are as brutal as the Da Homies were to their black neighbors.

yes. I think the Confederates were right to secede, and I have no problem with seeing history from a different perspective. I need not agree with that perspective in order to do so.

Wait… you… AggieHank86…. Card carrying leftist… you are claiming you are sympathetic to cause the Confederate States of America left the union over and fought the Civil War???

It’s embarrassing you think anyone would believe this.

Please share your views on the historical accuracy of the architecture, armor, and society depicted in this important film regarding an historical Celtic Briton figure from approximately the sixth century.


Sweet...Baby... Jesus... this is a dumb comparison..

One film is wanting to pass itself off as historical epic the other is legitimately listed as medieval fantasy based off "the Legends" of King Arthur...

They aren't the same.. Nice try though..

Good analogies require at least a SMIDGEN of creative spark.

Mr. Westminster Drag Show has proven time and time again that he is only capable of mimicry and recall.

Creative thought is alien to him.

You do not read so good. I write in favor of states rights and federalism in every relevant thread. More so than many of your faux “conservatives.”

I am a card-carrying member of the SCV and descended from a minor Confederate war hero … a guy with streets and schools all across Texas named after him (though fewer than a few years ago).

Never fear, he will soon return to the thread to explain to you that what you read isn't really what you read.

Now you're relegated to taking pride in someone else's accomplishments?

How very tribal and sad.

The near-consensus is that they most-closely resembled some modern Ethiopians, Somalis or northern Sudanese.


I don’t think that’s accurate.

Recent DNA tests have show ancient Egyptians had very little subsaharan DNA and we’re mostly aligned with middle eastern ancestors.

Nature

But it doesn’t take DNA to see all of the statues and depictions of ancient Egyptians look middle eastern….including color. In fact they have some Asian features if anything.

The title is Woman King. I'm gonna guess and say the answer is still no.

If and when it fails, it will only be because of that dam white supremacy….
