“I don’t care what they tell you in school, Abraham Lincoln was black.” - Netflix Documentary coming 2024

What I find funny is that actual Egyptians are complaining about this and they are being labeled Racist and Bigots....let that sink in for a minute.

Congrats to Jada Smith, she managed to co-create a show that scored lower than Velma. Utterly amazing. 😂

The name Kleopatra itself is Greek, meaning "glory of the father", derived from κλέος (kleos) meaning "glory" combined with πατήρ (pater) meaning "father".

Not only did Netflix not have white male scholars they didn't have any Egyptian scholars either. I'm guessing it's because all the Egyptian scholars know Cleopatra was Macedonian Greek.

“My grandma told me cleopatra was black so it must be true.” Ok nana let’s get you the meds and get you ready for bed.

My grandma always said some crazy shit too, but I didn't write historical papers or make stupid "documentaries" based on what she said. 🤣

Cleopatra was a scholar, not a warrior. They couldnt even get that part right. Essentially they turned Cleopatra into a marysue.

Sure, race swapping an historical figure then claim racism to any who question it is always a good idea.

Netflix is trying so hard to go bankrupt

They also didn't even try to make the actress for Cleopatra look like she lived in history. Her hairstyle, make up, and costume are very modern looking. She looks like she's on a beach in California, not in the ancient Egyptian Empire.

HBO's Rome was the real deal when it came to historical mini series. They built a whole world with the history that was recorded and made a point to constantly come back to historical facts even if they had dramatized it. Cleopatra in that show was 100% closer to the actual women with her dependency on Caeser's Rome then Marc Antony after the assassination. She was power hungry, she married then murdered her 10 year old brother. Ugly, dirty and truthful. Like history is.

Saying Cleopatra's black is like saying Jada's a loyal spouse to Will Smith

It warms my heart that this has been so thoroughly rejected. There is some hope for humanity when everyone stands up against falsehoods.

At this point I've personally lost all respect for mainstream media productions.

I love that you gave a shoutout to Metatron, that guy is awesome and he's clearly teaching for historical accuracy and intelligence. Too bad KZfaq for some bogus reason decided to demonetize all 900 of his videos, and it was conveniently after he made a video about Cleopatra.

The fact Netflix gave Jada the money to do this series basically means they gave her complete control, this includes finding any historian or 'expert' that thought the way she did and who would say what she needed them to say. That's why we have that old lady telling us about her grandmother rather than established historians giving us accurate historical accounts.

My grandma once told me: "No matter what they told you in school, Dr.King was CHINESE"......She explained that "because Chinese explorers were in Africa during the 1500s sent by the Ming Emperor..... It is possible that Dr. King's paternal great, great, great, great, great grandfather was a young handsome Chinese explorer...... Many bi-racial black-Chinese children were left behind in Africa when the Ming Emperor recalled all of the Chinese explorers back to China.... so we can conclude that many blacks have Chinese lineage....." LOL.....LOL...LOL..

Jada Pinkett is trying to make things even worse between men and women, so stunning and brave. :)

Funny how they didn’t interview the Egyptian consulate of antiquities. Somebody you should absolutely work with when making a documentary about ancient Egypt
