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

2019-07-30 16:36:15 UTC  

I would call it netflixing @MountainMan

2019-07-30 16:36:19 UTC  

AHAHAHAH

2019-07-30 16:36:30 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:36:46 UTC  

Inferiority conplexes smh

2019-07-30 16:36:57 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:37:26 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:37:52 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:38:09 UTC  

Berbers aren't black

2019-07-30 16:38:14 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:38:18 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:38:24 UTC  

Southern tribes are. Northern look like me. @Fitzydog

2019-07-30 16:39:12 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:39:18 UTC  

Imagine them having to confront the Arab slave trade lmao

2019-07-30 16:39:27 UTC  

Yeah no lol

2019-07-30 16:39:31 UTC  

That’d be great @Buren

2019-07-30 16:39:40 UTC  

They wouldn't touch it

2019-07-30 16:39:52 UTC  

It questions the sacred cow of Islam too much

2019-07-30 16:41:40 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:41:44 UTC  

that'd be cool

2019-07-30 16:43:13 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:43:35 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:43:37 UTC  

pretty epic

2019-07-30 16:43:50 UTC  

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

2019-07-30 16:43:56 UTC  

yeah

2019-07-30 16:43:57 UTC  

its sad

2019-07-30 16:44:07 UTC  

Like the last season of Game of Thrones

2019-07-30 16:44:36 UTC  

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.

2019-07-30 16:44:55 UTC  

It's not taught in school anymore

2019-07-30 16:45:06 UTC  

What is taught in american school

2019-07-30 16:45:11 UTC  

only american history?

2019-07-30 16:45:16 UTC  

If that

2019-07-30 16:45:20 UTC  

or do you guys talk about the high cultures, etc

2019-07-30 16:45:23 UTC  

oh damn

2019-07-30 16:45:57 UTC  

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

Thats what we learn as history
