bruhhhhh

what is the word you use in english when you make a black character white

whitewashing?

yeah We’re seeing that happen right now But black

Why not just make stories based with actual black people lol. I’d watch a series based in historical Mali

I would call it netflixing @MountainMan

AHAHAHAH

@MountainMan Because they've never built anything of their own

Inferiority conplexes smh

Thing is, they have a lot to build stuff on @Fitzydog

Zulu, Mali, Songhai, Berber, etc. all interesting places for a series/movie

Or they could even do something like I dunno pirates or slave freedom fighter

Berbers aren't black

But instead they change other peoples stuff in the name of ”representations”

The modern leftist is not interested in an honest examination of history that would require tho

Southern tribes are. Northern look like me. @Fitzydog

They aren’t like black as sub saharans But the south ones are still black

Imagine them having to confront the Arab slave trade lmao

Yeah no lol

That’d be great @Buren

They wouldn't touch it

It questions the sacred cow of Islam too much

Can you imagine a story with Bilal Ibn Rabah going around freeing slaves in Mecca and Medina @Fitzydog

that'd be cool

The people who write and direct these shows have never even heard of that guy, let alone the Islamic slave trade

Watch turkish and egyptian ones. They bring it up all the time

pretty epic

All they know how to do is turn someone else's story into an expose on social justice

yeah

its sad

Like the last season of Game of Thrones

they try to do everything for the "culture" as they call it. but most of these people dont know shit about either european, african, asian, or middle eastern history or culture at all.

It's not taught in school anymore

What is taught in american school

only american history?

If that

or do you guys talk about the high cultures, etc

oh damn

Basically, look at history through a lens of oppression, and pick out the worst parts.

Thats what we learn as history
