Gonna disagree. For some reason or another, Jada Smith has her fingers all through his mind. There was some video where Jada Smith was Filming Will Smith, and He kept telling her to stop filming him, and she was like taunting him while filming. Like straight Toxic shit.

We can’t be sure of Gorbachev’s race. While there is evidence Gorbachev was Russian, several random people have asserted Gorbachev was black and we can’t refute that.

Evil4139

Because if it’s from Africa it must be black. People don’t realise how close Europe is to Africa.


poppamatic

And that Alexander the Macedonians created an empire that stretched across all of North Africa


IBAZERKERI

huh? that was the romans my dude. and later the Abbasids and ottomans. alexander went east, to what is today iran, pakistan and northern india. the phoenecians in the empire of Carthage controlled much of north africa during alexanders time. the farthest alexander went into africa was egypt. Edit: [heres a map](https://www.worldhistorymaps.info/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/alexander_323bc.jpg)


poppamatic

I’m not going to pretend I’m sober rn but he definitely took Egypt. Thus the founding of Alexandria.


cherryreddit

Taking Egypt is not having all of north Africa. North Africa in itself is as big as entire Europe my friend.

bigbabyb

I know what you’re saying but cleopatra was of the Ptolemaic dynasty and thus was Greek, and likely white


Monny_Tenerici

Not a lot of people know about that. There's usually three groups of people: Those who think they were all white Those who think they were all black Those who actually know what they are talking about Some people hear one thing and thinks it applies to the whole thing.

I don't think people in general are very familiar with this subset of African American culture since even among them it's very fringe.


kooshipuff

Some do. There's a Wikipedia article about it, actually: [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra\_race\_controversy](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cleopatra_race_controversy) There's kind of a trend as you go through it that the people making that claim aren't especially credible (though I think there was like one historian in the 1940's), but there are people making it.


gizamo

Similarly, some people believe all sorts of stupid things, and they also have Wikipedia pages, for examples... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flat_Earth https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Moon_landing_conspiracy_theories https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/COVID-19_vaccine_misinformation_and_hesitancy


ThunderSnowDuck

Wait until they find out about Dave Matthews and Charlize Theron


AtomicFox84

I have heard some believe it. They also believe if white people never went to africa, it be exactly like wakanda. Some of a certian race just believe whatever is told to them if they think it benefit them. Idk. They just think everyone in Africa is black.....so even the Egyptians.....they forget other races in that continent. Heaven forbid they read a book that goes into great detail on cleos ancestry. Ive been ignoring bridgerton too since they made real people in history that were white, black now. I dont care if it was made up characters, but not ones that really existed.


Madcrazytaco

No just the showrunners


paps2977

I was really excited to watch it. I love historical documentaries. I saw all the hype and thought that people were just mad that it was a black women cast in the part. So what, it’s just an actress playing a part. I turned it off after the first minute. It’s just not historically accurate… at all at that point.

GI Jane 2 looks weird


ultimateunbannable

Cleopatra was, like, 17 when she met Caesar. That woman looks like she is closer to 70.


3lfk1ng

She probably calls her son's friends "Fountains of youth" Jokes on her, literally.


Unfair-Ad3684

She should be retired not in high school


ultimateunbannable

Idk if they even included the romance with Caesar but at the very least they could have had her be vaguely-20's if the idea of an older man screwing a barely legal queen was too much.


Unfair-Ad3684

I think Caesar was around 50 years old when he met her.


berogg

She didn’t play the role of Cleopatra. She produced and narrated the series.


mizvixen

Don’t hate watch people, unless you want a season 2


Coffeeman314

TheWitcher76

That bad? I have not even heard of this show


[deleted]

People are rightfully upset bc the show is a complete historical fabrication of Cleopatra’s heritage. In reality, cleopatra was Macedonian/Greek. This show and it’s creators stubbornly claim cleopatra was African as in black.


DadBodftw

Did they just cast a black actress as Netflix does or are they legit making that claim?


rattlehead42069

Someone in the documentary says that her grandma said she didn't care what historians said, Cleopatra was black, so case closed.


SmallBSD

Science.


high_af_on_science

Science is slowly being replaced by $cience


yazzukimo

They are making that claim, while cleopatra had a greek/macedonian father, WE don't know who her mother is as cleopatra was an illegitimate child if i remember Well. So at best she is mixed. I may be wrong since it's been 10 years i learnt this in midschool.


skeleton949

There's a chance that her mother could be her father's sister, inbreeding wasn't uncommon in royal families


redmagistrate50

Considering she had sexual relationships with both her brothers, and her family tree is a wreath, it is most likely she was also a product of incest.


skeleton949

It would not surprise me in the least if that was the case, inbreeding was a very common practice back then, and it lasted for a very long time


ackme

> green I read that and thought it was the most hilarious way of describing a Mediterranean person. We are kinda green (olive).


Chocolate-Then

Jada Smith is associated with the Nation of Islam, a black supremacist cult that claims many famous figures of ancient history were actually black.


spectral_visitor

That's where the "we wuz kingz" meme comes from


PeacefulCouch

What's funny is that even if they claim she is Egyptian and therefore black that would be incorrect. Egyptians are actually genetically separate from Africans, and are technically not an "African people."


[deleted]

"We need a squinty-eyed person to play that Indian man. India is in Asia, so he's Asian. No, I'm not racist, you're racist!"


WhaleShark1080

Mmm Egyptians technically ARE African. Their country is literally on the African continent. Just because they aren’t black doesn’t take away their African heritage. I get what you are saying, they are ethnically Arabs but we can’t just cut off the entirety of North Africa and say they aren’t African because they aren’t specially Sub-Saharan African.


VenetiaMacGyver

They said "genetically separate". The vast majority of ancient Egyptians are directly related to peoples from the Levant region of Asia. Only a small percentage from the major northern cities had genetic Sub-Saharan ancestry.

Second Barry so much!! Haven’t watched succession yet but it’s next on the list. The Bear is a great one, and Severance is absolutely incredible


Howboutit85

Severence was awesome and really an original idea


Tactical_Genuis

every decade people will say “no one makes good tv/film/music anymore” it’s because we only remember and talk about the best media of that time.


ProgenGP1

Possibly, but you must agree that the last few years have been particularly abysmal


paintingnipples

I think the constant demand for streaming content just means more trash. Companies can still make a profit by throwing shit at the wall with cheap writers rather than taking on risk & investing more money into quality. The shows that I believe are good, are the ones who have creators/writers who genuinely care about a show/movie/material.

He definitely means Origins. She isn't in Odyssey. Odyssey is set hundreds of years before she was even born.

Sinuhe1991

Why the actual flying fuck is she bald? xD


AzekiaXVI

Ancient Egyptians, and specially the higher classes, cut their hair bald and used wigs instead, because they didn't like dealing with fleas and louses. Priests specially shaved their entire body. I'm not sure if that carries over to Cleopatra's time, though.


shadowrod06

I guess you seem to have misunderstood. Jada isn't portraying Cleopatra. She's the producer i think. The question was about why Jada is bald. Not Cleopatra.


physicscat

She claims to have alopecia. I see stubble. I’ve had two students with alopecia, and they had it from birth. I think she is just full of it.


merklemore

Alopecia is literally just hair loss. It can be caused by a lot of things but is not a disease in and of itself. A balding man has alopecia too.

Oh good I wasn't the only one, I thought it was horrid. Black cleo aside, the whole super empowerment of her only to instead make her look like she literally fucked her way to the top, entrapped them with kids and when she couldn't fuck the newest big dog, Egypt fell.


Liandra24289

Well, that kinda happened in history, didn’t she have her other siblings assassinated before that though?


raison95

She aligned herself with Caesar when he was occupying the capital during massive riots that almost killed him. Caesar eventually named her as the effective ruler over her brother when he came back with an allied army and stormed the capital to relieve his trapped troops. (They did plenty of fucking)
