If SNL had any guts, Netflix would be such an easy target to make fun of with crap like this. Or have a skit where the they tell the writers that they can’t leave until they write a story that doesn’t center around race/gender/lgbt and watch them go crazy

All they would have to do is put a hidden camera on their actual writers and say this
That’s good. I mix non fiction with fiction books (alternate). But I have a mountain of books. My rule of thumb is 2014 or prior. But watching people build things isn’t a bad idea. Prepare myself for getting a house
I actually love that they are doing this, not because I think it'll be good, it'll be shit it's Netflix racebending for virtue.
Nah I love that it's pissing off the Egyptians SO much. Not just the black shit but also because they call her queen when she's a pharaoh. There's already lawsuits on trying to get Netflix banned from Egypt which if that were to happen I'd be laughing my ass off.
Because they barely understand Africa is this massive continent with infinite variation and difference across its huge landmass, and instead treat it like a small regional thing like a US State.
Its about as retarded as the UK calling everyone from Japan to Pakistan "Asian."
I think it's more like how Americans call everyone who's not-white: Brown.
Really? Homogenizing all non-white groups into a single racial-political-cultural block, with no other possible similarities, as brown; and you think that's not racist?
They don’t care about the historical Cleopatra, none of their viewers know anything about her anyway.
It’s the Liz Taylor version of Cleopatra they’re trying to erase from history, THAT one is possibly more iconic than the real thing ever was. They have to erase the notion of a beautiful white woman being adored by all the men of the earth and replace it with more wakanda forever
The Egyptians aren't happy either. One of them is apparently suing to have Netflix blocked in Egypt: https://www.rt.com/pop-culture/575014-egyptian-lawyer-sues-netflix-cleopatra/
Socrates: Starring Kevin Hart.
Shhhh, don’t give them any ideas.
But who else is going to play Socrates when they have the Rock billed as Plato?
Pythagoras starring the Jackson Five.

True. It would be funny
But I get your point about us making the jokes
I cancelled my Netflix a few years back. You don’t watch or read anything?

I can't stand how stupid they are though.
Why would they imagine that a skin pigmentation that originates in Sub-Saharan Africa, would be present above the Sahara?
"Hurr durr Ethiopia!"
Ethiopia is beyond the mountain ranges of the Nile. Furthermore the people of "Upper Egypt" hadn't ruled "Lower Egypt" in millennia.
You know how we know Americans made the series? They're completely geographically illiterate.

Well they told us we couldn't use black or yellow anymore, we ran out of colors and couldn't even called them colored anymore neither.
Also with the way they vote, they just as soon be one bloc despite all their differences.

A) Greek isn't a race...
B) There are plenty of important greeks after Cleopatra. You know your country has an interesting history, right?
