on the one hand the gdr cruelly oppressed nazis and kept them from exercising their god given rights to denim and rock and roll. on the other the u.s was brutally murdering black liberation leaders and heading towards a full-on race war. it's impossible to say which was worse

quote:The new Netflix docudrama series “Queen Cleopatra,” produced and narrated by Jada Pinkett Smith, has already elicited a passionate response, though perhaps not the kind that publicists hoped for. Since news broke that the series would star the British actress Adele James, fans, Egyptologists, scholars of Greco-Roman antiquity and Arab and Greek news outlets have been debating whether the series willfully distorts history. The reason? “Queen Cleopatra” depicts the legendary monarch as Black. are you loving serious with this poo poo

See I told you. Told you that the entire existence of american high culture is consuming the past of the entirety of human culture and turning it into burgerpunk dreck. Its why lily white ukranians with 1488 spinny wheel tattoos suddenly become coded black even as they leave african and south asian students to be stuck in the middle of a war zone.

Toplowtech posted:Wasn't Ptolemaic Egypt a highly segregated kingdom ruled by a bunch of super-incestuous Macedonian noble? "Culturaly Black", surely. Wu Zetian was probably "culturally black". Empress Josephine de Beauharmais too i guess. (and napoleon left her for a white girl!!!!). Let's black face all of history, it sure costs less than stopping the cops from killing black kids. Cleopatra VII was literally the first of her family to actually learn the languages Egyptians spoke.

Toplowtech posted:No, it's not new. I still find the cultural appropriation of a first century BC Macedonian princess pretty weird. I guess some people can not conceptualize the Roman rejection of Cleopatra outside a black skin hatred reaction. Wonder how Egyptian people feel about North American rewriting their history to their needs. I mean they had to deal with centuries of European doing that poo poo already. I do get that people take their heroes where they can get them and history's pretty scant on queens that get to do anything, but it really does get cringe. Also you'd think it'd be easy enough- Cleopatra was a woman, a foreigner and a queen of a powerful potential rival to an empire that's extremely patriarchal and historically has spent decades and entire fleets and legions making sure any potential rivals are burned to the ground.

I don’t think Roman nobles rejected her until way later after she sided with Antonius in the civil war against Caesar Augustus.

In fairness, Cicero seems like he'd have been utterly insufferable to be around. Dude sucked so much that all-time most influential psychopath Augustine credits the Hortensius with influencing his conversion to Christianity. Engels was right: "the most contemptible scoundrel in history"
