Who needs archaeologists and historians when you have someone's grandmother?
My grandmother told me, that Shaka Zulu was a white guy from the Netherlands.
She also warned me of people who will tell me otherwise.

Correct

I am surprised that Cleopatra wasn’t shown as a hairless queen, in an open marriage with black Julius Ceasar who goes around publicly slapping other politicians.
black Julius Caesar slaps black Brutus, and that is why Brutus stabs Caesar
@@ethanchoi7036 black people disrespecting and killing each other? That’s unusual.
🤣
Would you be surprised i Arab and Caucasian people didn't invade Egypt it would still be black people running that country? The current modern Egyptians didn't build a damn thing after their Arab ancestors conquered ancient AFTER the Europeans vacated ancient Egypt. You can't build a dynasty when it was built before you arrived..! Nowadays it's American tax dollars who keeps modern Egyptians afloat. But you didn't know that right?
The irony here is that Cleopatra likely WAS bald as the Egyptians considered body hair unclear and everyone, men, women and children shaved ALL body hair to prevent disease and wore wigs for special occasions.
The BBC had Ann Boleyn and others portrayed by black actors. It is ridiculous and insulting to everybody.

On behalf on the United Kingdom, I would like to wish the Egyptian Lawyer the best of luck with his upcoming case against Netflix.
Seconded.
on behalf of your arch enemy Germany i am with you
@@whatever1661
you're not our enemy..
never were..
I guess saxon blood just makes you fight with your family too... 😉
@@whatever1661that would be France, but I see your point
@(HereisJon) To be fair to What Ever, virtually any country could claim to be the arch enemy of the UK (particularly England) and have reasonable historical evidence to back it up 😆. Germany are certainly among the front runners! (You ain't wrong about the French though)
What pisses me off is that there are insane black historical figures in history that haven’t had the spotlight:
Yasuke - an African slave who became a bodyguard and trainer for a samurai warlord in feudal Japan.
Robert small - an American slave who freed himself and stole a confederate warship to escape and became the captain of that very stolen ship against confederate warships in the American civil war
William Harvey carney - another civil war hero who was the first black union soldier to win the Medal of Honor.
Another fascinating historical figure is queen Ranavalona I of Madagascar, 1778-1861. Her rule was not without it's flaws (largely seen as a tyrant at best in Europe), but if they wanted to make a documentary about black African queens who opposed European culture, hers could be a compelling story to tell.
I wonder how many people know one of the Roman Governors of Londinium (ancient London) in ancient Britain was a Roman Citizen of African origin - who most likely had white British slaves. Race was not recognised in Ancient Rome and race is a `19th Century invention.
LT Archer, ace for the Red Tails
@preacherman85379 We need more stories highlighting specific service members. As a Filipino, we have a great view of the US military but the torn perspective of black, Japanese American and Native American soldiers during WWII is very interesting.
One problem with your thinking vs Hollywood. Those are black men, not women. Black men are only allowed if they are gay or are in dresses. Just like Hollywood 60 years ago.

Weird to see Drinker without glasses. Will Smith's 'wife' was able to piss off a whole country with this crap. Pretty impressive.
Just imagine what it's like living with it. No wonder he's a wreck. The guy is like one of those people that was kidnapped as a kid and held in a basement for thirty years.
She’s straight up evil
Best line iv heard why she did this "my Grandma said Cleopatra was Black" celebs should not be allowed to dictate history according to there view's especially when you can see the direction it's going to take 🤦♂️🤬
Let the whole of Egypt sue her for defamation that would be better then anything she could write off have written on her behalf 🤣
You mean "without a glass"?
He actually has really nice eyes. #nohomo
That woman talking about her grandma holding the key to Cleopatras real race, despite the fact that she probably never even left her home county in her lifetime, had me in stitches 😂
If they had just told it as though it was one grandma’s vision of Cleopatra, sort of a fantasy retelling from the ideal of a naive country woman, that could have been beautiful in its own way.
But they have to rewrite history. It is their will that is supreme.
African Americans forget that no matter how much they try, they are just as arrogant and ego centric as their white American compatriots.
@@inthefade that actually could've been brilliant if they did it the right way, the fantasy of a young black girl hearing it from her own grandmother, and then the ending could be the realization for the young girl that cleopatra didn't look like what her grandma told her with the conceit being "hey, cleopatra was a cool female leader, but look at all these actual ethnically african women leaders that you never learn about in a typical american school" then those could be glimpses into season 2,3,4 and shits
@@overtherenowaitthere If Cleopatra went "Princess Bride" and had the story being told from a black narrator's perspective to their black grandchild, the inconsistencies could have easily been explained. They could have even had the final episode being the child looking it up on their own time in the library, and then just have there be a slideshow montage of them seeing how things actually looked etc. They could have made it a touching story about being connected with the past, and a reminder that figures in history are typically a lot different than what we conjure in our minds. Instead, they just tried to culturally appropriate Egyptian culture, because apparently the Nubian dynasty was too unheard of in order to get clickbait.
The grandmar probably hasn't even left her house in 20 years and would only get her knowledge of Egypt through media and books yet calls herself an expert
My grandmother told me that Ghengis Khan was Scotch-Irish and surrounded by radioactive dirt from Nevada, and no one can convince me otherwise 😂
That took me a second lol
In fact, "Ghengis Khan" was a song that won the European Song Contest :D
Khan was also a die hard Vietnam war supporter
@@tonyfriendly4409I still think most won't get the reference
You know what was a great historical fiction featuring non white history?
Apocalypto.
Compelling characters. Great story. Proof that theres a market for different views without brow beating any particular demographic.
Yes but the left hates Mel!
Apocalypo was brutal and really spun the trope of “the good savage”.
@@VincitOmniaVeritas7 the ‘indigenous’ in many parts of the world practiced human sacrifice and cannibalism and engaged in war, torture and slavery pre arrival of the melanin deficient,but saying so blows up the lib narrative.
@@VincitOmniaVeritas7 “Archaeological sites indicate that the Mayans used several methods for sacrifice such as "decapitation, heart excision, dismemberment, hanging, disembowelment, skin flaying, skull splitting and burning.” Fun buncha guys eh 😂. Of course the Spanish Inquisition was no party, but nobody expected them....
Amazing film.
Having to resort to a race swap in just your 2ND SEASON of "Famous Black Women throughout History" is a pretty stunning admission that you couldn't think of *any* worthy individuals to feature...
Funny that, yes, totally agree.
There are plenty but sadly not famous enough to grab viewers so they decided to hijack a famous Greek/Macedonian.
Which just shows Jada didn't do her home work.
Factual comment.
Weird how the Queen of Kush, the kingdom to the southern region of Egypt, took on the Romans twice and didn't lose. She would have been a great candidate.
I am in Canada and have a work colleague from Egypt.
To say he is appalled by this is a an understatement.
I have heightened respect for the Egyptian people for not allowing their heritage to be degraded.
Cleopatra was Greek, not Egyptian
He was appalled? Why? Hamilton has the founding fathers of the US dancing and rapping, Black Adder has historical figures being comedic joke versions of themselves, there's even a movie where Abe Lincoln fights vampires. What's their to be appalled about?
@@danculbert6349its labeled as a documentary, thats the issue. everyone knows that the movie about lincoln killing vampires is fiction (or is it? 🤔) and it does no attempt to tell its audience otherwise. same with the other examples you mentioned
@@antonpayne919 docuDRAMA* Also, Cleopatra was played far more famously in 1963 by ELIZABETH TAYLOR, and no one back then gave a shit that they had British-American white woman playing an olive skinned greek woman. People these days really are too sensitive. Critical Drinker is the biggest snowflake on UA-cam
Black people have contributed so little to humanity that the modern ones need to turn to race swapping and creating fictional societies like Wakanda.
shouldn't it be offensive to black women that they chose a white historical figure to represent them..
Yes... but many believe Cleopatra was black...
@@fizeekpoaster Goes to show how bloody ignorant most people are
@@fizeekpoaster Because they're spoon-fed dips.
@@fizeekpoaster can't fix stupid is the saying
How many of the past dozen years has the "woman" of the year been a dude in a dress, now?
Incidentally, it's not just Egyptians and Greeks who are furious about the representation of their country and history. I have literally never heard anyone as angry as the Italian critics who gave their view of Klayoputtrah's "view", so to speak, of Caesar, Cicero and Rome. Professional critics were screaming with rage.
If you have links, I'd be genuinely interested.
When you get things so wrong you even enrage the people who wiped out the people who wiped out the people who wiped out the romans in Italy, surely you must know you've done something wrong with your "documentary"
Anyone who loves & values history and ancestry is pissed off by this and all the other degradation of Western history they are trying to pull.
they should sue also!!! that Marc Anthony and Caesar..geez..
I mean they made Achilles black in that one netflix show too.
There is also the problem that Cleopatra's story is not really the girl boss one they want. She was essentially a puppet of Rome, as Julius Caesar helped put her on the throne because he did not not have the time to annex Egypt as a province at the time.
well, she had slaves also. and she was very interested in poison and venoms, and tried them on her slaves to see the effect.
Historical context has no place within this discussion!
Egypt was already Roman territory. They couldn’t make up their minds who to cheer for in the civil war.
She married her 12-year-old brother. She was convinced she was a god. She destroyed the wealth of kingdoms for a larf. There's lots about Cleo that's completely messed up if you actually look at the details.
Plus she committed finish self living. Not very girl boss of her
Funny thing is that Cleopatra is ethnically Greek. She's of the Ptolemaic Dynasty, a woman of Macedonian descent who's family acquired power in Egypt as a result of Alexander's conquests. It's a great irony that Cleopatra, who Netflix dressed up as this triumphant black queen, is really one of the tyrannical colonisers that their movement claims to despise so vehemently.
So this whole show is another own goal just like that film The Woman Queen was (depicting another triumphant, forward-thinking black queen... from a dynasty who were in truth brutal, tyrannical slave-traders. Though they did at least get the skin-colour right that time).
I’ve pointed that out to people who say she was black and that the Greeks were invaders 😂 their stupidity is massively hilarious
Based comment.
_As a wise man once said : _*_"Truth is out of style'._*
She was only half macedonian, wasn't she? I had the understanding her lineage was half egyptian due to political marriages
they hate us cause they aint us
The Critical Drinker has eyes? I thought he had been born with sunglasses just like Johnny Bravo

Kevin hart, surely.
@@kevw333 wasn’t available 😂
That might actually be a great comedy skit
But would be absolutely taken as a joke as a historical fiction
They didn't portray Cleopatra as African, they portrayed her as a black American. Completely different cultures.
She was a GIRLBOSS who swam across the Atlantic and single-handedly defeated the entire armies of Genghis Khan so he was forced to retreat to his base on the dark side of the Moon! So historical!
Attila the hun shat himself
Black American 1800 years before the USA existed.
@@Wishmaster787 Hence the problem with the vast majority of US made content about the African people(s). They always write it from the perspective and viewpoint of a black american, even when talking about issues and events that pre-date the US and/or have literally no connection to the US.
It is the same reason why black Americans go to places like Japan and act like the people there are super racist against black people, while being completely ignorant of the fact that white people are discriminated against heavily more so. At least being a black tourist in Asia gives the benefit of TONS of people wanting to interact and observe the likely only black person that they've seen in person before. Meanwhile the white person next to them is dismissed as being just another greedy white determined to extract everything they can.
It's a common mindset in US culture that people who have ancestors from a certain country or culture seem to think they themselves are still part of that culture even through they are several generations removed.
Black people in the USA seem to think they are "Africans" (as if "Africa" was just one homogenous place - JPS doesn't seem to realize that North Africans aren't even black), same way guys from New York whose great grandparents were from Italy like to call themselves "Italians" for example. To anyone actually from Europe or Africa all these people are very clearly American and they're just holding on to a few snippets of certain European/African cultures (ie making your grandmother's home made bolognese recipe doesn't make you Italian, especially when you can't even pronounce "bolognese" properly).
Didn't realize it was suppose to be passed as an actual, factual documentary until last week. WOW. Inexplicable. No wonder the Egyptians are taking them to court.
I’m still in awe of Hollywood’s wilful ignorance I mean I think they hit the bottom but then they break out the mining drill
If they want a good girlboss African leader, try Judith of Ethopia
Who took an impovrished country, fought as the leader of a warband, was a solid diplomat, and even gets the bonus of "having been betrayed by small minded allies"
Everything you could want from a 21st century heroine
Enough of this girl boss nonsense. Most women can’t fucking cook a meal to feed themselves.
Hollywood is not interested in real stories ..sorry
Cleopatra (her actual title was Queen Cleopatra VII) was of white Greek descent. She was the last ruler of the Ptolemy Dynasty - named after Alexander the Great’s General Ptolemy (Alexander’s empire was divided between his 4 Generals after his death).
How dare you inject historical truth.
So why Greece aren’t the ones who should be upset and suing, I wonder.
Her name literally translates to Glory of the Fatherland in Greek! I don't know how that just flies under the radar
@@need-to-know- They are upset- their government released statements against the production as well.
Also a modern country being upset or not over something has no relation with historical fact or not- for example, some hacks made a show where they replaced a famous viking Jarl with a black woman, who obviously was a white man- yet none of the Scandinavian countries raised a fuss over it. (people did get angry about it but there was no official statement about it.)
@@WelcomeToDERPLAND Don’t get swooshed. My point is that if she’s not even Egyptian, what grievance does Egypt possibly have claim to, over how she’s portrayed?
This is my first time seeing Critical Drinker's eyes! :O
The Vikings: Valhalla show had a black female character Jarl Haakon. There were no female jarls (earls), there were no black people, and Haakon is a strictly male name. On no level could this character exist.
Black Cleopatra, black Anne Boleyn, black Dwarves, back Elves, black hobbits, black Aragorn, black MJ, black Human Torch, black (and gay) fairy godmother, black Annie, black Perry White, black Velma, black batwoman, black Mermaid and even a blackwashed horse in the same movie.....and the list goes on, and on, and on....all, as you rightly say, to virtue signal.
I can imagine there could be black dwarves, I just hate Sophia Nomvete's character.
When you put feelings before facts, the burning of books is not far away.
Ann Boleyn, Joan of Arc - both real, both portrayed by black women.
Wait! Joan or Arc too?!?! When?
Defined as reimagined fictional accounts. Perfectly fine.
No, it's still a bit dodgy.
@@navelpicker not really
@@bollockjohnson6156 Yes; really.
Cleopatra had slaves. She even tried different poison on them.. I guess that is not in this Netflix series.
I don’t recall asking for stories based on black history; in college where they tried to require black history I told my advisor I’d take it when the black students were required to take Irish history. My advisor backed right off 😂.
@Phil McCrackin you really need to brush up on history, African architects were building temples and pyramids while Europeans were living in caves and mud huts, oh, wait, you probably think pyramids were built by aliens!
@Phil McCrackin Inventions don't always go in a line like that, and many societies have little use for a wheel where they don't have clear terrain and domesticatable animals to pull things. You would know this if you were more educated than an NPC.
@@HerculesBallsInc nice try Herc. Are you saying that these people didn’t have the ability to clear terrain even? Or bring in cows, horses or camels from not too far away ?
@@HerculesBallsIncTry to make sense at least. The wheel is used everywhere, there's just no way you can scale without the wheel. Think agriculture, transport, manufacture.
@@ZipMapp We did all thoose things here in South America without the wheel, europeans and middle easterners are so proud of something that not everyone needs that much, now about your point, both should study sub saharan and irish history, both are very important, i'm sorry if this offends you but shuting yourself down from learning because you dont like it is just stupidity.
5:31 "Why is it so important Cleopatra's white?" I would say, "would you like it if I claimed Nelson Mandela was white?"
The grandmother thing is not incidental, Cleopatra as a black woman has been a notion in the black community for a long time, my theory on this is badly wanting some sort of historical past that one can take pride in and had gotten to the point that any adverse argument would be denied as, dare I say, being white-washed. I bet Jada has believed this for a considerable amount of time already, not just a recent fabrication of hers.
It is the same as members of the black community trying to claim that black people are somehow indigenous to everywhere, and that they have claim to every location under the sun. It is literally being pushed in the "BIPOC" garbage that every black "activist" group promotes. The black struggle is nowhere near the same as the indigenous struggle literally anywhere outside of sub-Saharan Africa. Black people are invaders just as much as the white people to Native Americans.....
Yeah i heard that as a kid. Also any dark, wavy hair was because u had "Indian in your blood". I do think its cause all we knew about the past was slavery, segregation and a few black "heroes". I just found out about 10ish yrs ago the trust about Rosa Parks. Sad the real first girl still isnt as known as she should be.
Imagine the makers of “Abraham Lincoln: Vampire Hunter” Cali got a documentary? Then getting butt-hurt when people point out the inaccuracies. Astounding.
Jada getting sued by Egypt is like Tanner getting into a fight with the 7th Grade... 🤣
If you watch modern takes on historical dramas in the UK you begin to realise that half the nobility and landed gentry of England in the 17th, 18th and 19th centuries were either black or had black wives, and yet none of the darker skin colour has carried over into subsequent generations.
It's almost as if the makers of the programmes are pushing a narrative that isn't true, forget fact and truth and just accept what we want you to believe.
my gf was watching Bridgerton at my place one time so i watched some parts with her and i couldnt believe what the fuk was i seeing lmao
The thing that gets me is that they say "oh, it doesn't matter who plays the character", as if it wouldn't matter if Robert De Niro played Anne Frank.
I bet they would be crying blue murder if a series was made set in Africa (one about the Zulus would be interesting) and had a bunch of white actors playing some of the Zulus, they'd be saying its cultural appropriation or something.
What are you talking about Charles III has always been a black trans lesbian
@GSD-hd1yh - What! Are you implying that Anne Boleyn was NOT black? WTH!
@@wiseonwords I'm not even certain what his/her pronouns were any more. S/he may have married a trans lesbian at this point.
At the very least, the lawsuit should force Netflix to stop calling it a documentary and start calling it fiction, which it is.

Poor Cleopatra. Guess she didn't know she was black. Surprised the Egyptians.
I need to drink more, Critical is practically glowing in this vid
I didn't realise this was a season 2, and that season 1 didn't take off. So it seems they at least tried to present genuine African Queen stories at first, but, this is not the correct response to a poor reception!
When CD was going through all Netflix's researchers for this catastrophic series I find it strange that he missed out on the researcher with the most compelling evidence of Cleopatra's ethnicity, that old lady's grandmother who 'just knew Cleopatra was black, regardless of what everyone told her'.
For any Netflix-producer that would read this, I have an idea for a 'documentary' about the life of dr. Martin Luther King (adapted for the modern audience of course).
The show would narate the life of dr. King as we know it, but the actor playing the role would be an Inuit. And it would not be 'Martin' but 'Martina' ! That would do good for the ESG-score, race-swap and gender-swap checked.
I am absolutely certain people would love this documentary without any backlash or negative reviews.
Therapist: "Drinker without sunglasses isn't real, he can't hurt you"
Drinker without sunglasses:
NetFlix's Cleopatra less factual than Ancient Aliens.
I am convinced that the reason they feel the need to keep pushing and pushing is that these kinds of shows are primarily intended as a provocation, and only secondarily as pandering for the woke crowd. The main purpose is "pissing off the right people", a refrain you've no doubt heard before from creators or critics if you've followed the culture wars at all.
It's a kind of cultural "not touching, can't get mad" type of deal, where if you don't respond they get to keep pushing your buttons, but if you do get angry then it's "joke's on you, why do you care so much about the skin colour of fictional fish people?". The situation is engineered specifically to allow them to spin any response, even no response, as a win for them and an L for the forces of bigotry and racism.
I was personally a little surprised that this was the one race-swap where people would draw the line, I figured if Black Achilles and Anne Boleyn were on the table this one would probably just be ignored by an apathetic general audience, but I guess this is the year where the normies are finally sick to the back teeth with quietly putting up with woke BS.
Also, the Drinker is absolutely right about this weaselly game of projection and double standards the wokies play around race-swapping: it's OK for them to care HEAVILY about the skin colour of fictional fish-people, but if anyone raises an eyebrow the script is flipped and suddenly it is extremely weird to care about the pigmentation of cartoon children's characters. Do not let them get away with playing this little game, call them out for it every single time.
If there is one thing progressives hate, it is defending/justifying their actual position. Instead, they will attack your position using whatever arguments are most convenient in the moment, with the implication that if they can successfully refute your views then theirs are just automatically the only correct alternative. Getting progs to articulate their own, honestly held positions, much less defend them, is typically like pulling teeth, but it's the best way to shut them down and shut them up. They can't defend blackwashing, they can only attack you for not liking it. Not going along with their script is the easiest way to expose them.
“Season 3 of African Queens: Ru Paul, Ruler of Saudi Arabia.”
They had one actual egyptologist in the panel. I heard she had no idea what she was contributing to, but haven't been able to confirm.
It's not about creating, it's about destroying, taking stuff away from people.

Emperor Napoleon: a documentary, starring Michael B. Jordan
There is an ongoing, deliberate effort to rewrite history no matter how reasonable or true it is.
Neo-Maoism. All media needs to be re-written so the plebs aren't even aware that it's POSSIBLE to be anything but woke.
Nearly nothing we are beeing told about history is true.
I don't care what any teacher of history says ,my grandad told me Shake Zulu was white.
Now this is real cultural appropriation...
Not only is Egypt pissed about the documentary, but, upon hearing about that backlash, the makers of it doubled down on their message and basically said "Why are you afraid of being represented as black?", which is like... pulling the racism card... against the people you're making a "documentary" about. The left has a term for that, I believe it starts with "cultural" and ends in "appropriation"; but this attitude also fits neatly into the "white saviour" box, because a bunch of white americans are the ones who decided that Cleopatra was black, to make themselves look forward thinking, accepting, etc.
“I don’t care what they told you in school: William Wallace was a Hispanic guy from Texas” - _not_ my grandmother
CD's eyes are WAY more clear than I'd ever imagined!
From those scores either the racism is getting worse or the writing is getting worse.
I wonder which one it could be 🤔🤔
It could be both.
Perpetual racebaiting in entertainment and educational content is creating resentment.
Both
Genuinely had no idea who that was without the aviators on 😅
I don't think Hollywood filmmakers know what the word documentary means.
The Miss Fisher documentaries are some of the best I've seen. love the outfits!
The people who defended it were hilarious they kept saying "its not a documentary" while the poster they showed said "A Netflix Documentary" 😂😂
The Woman King conveniently forgot she was a slave trader. So there's a good chance one or more of the people defending the movie are in America right now because their great great great grandfather or grandmother were sold by the heroic Woman King.
Cleopatra has always been considered having extreme charisma. I’ve only looked at these couple of clips, but anyone who has watched this, did they cast someone that has this great undeniable charisma??????
I had to watch all episodes of that 'documentary' to make my review on it. In one word, it was torture! I don't blame the Drinker for not watching it all.
Looking forward to the biopic of Barack Obama and the actor is a Mexican!

We need to make a docuseries about Shaka Zulu, staring only white actors.
And then when Hollywood and all the social media skitzos lose their mind over it just gaslight them about why they shouldn't be upset and how Shaka was actually always white.

So let's see - are you going to try to belittle these unfortunately spot on daggers by laughing at "what a long rant" it is? Or are you going to dive into digging through colorful insults to sound unfazed?(try something I haven't listed above then in that case - I'm curious👀 Afterall, that's where your creativity shines, instead of coming up with anything original or unique as shown abundantly in recent Hollywood endeavors😂) Or will you throw me a couple lines to have the final word before you sod off and feel good? Give it a go!🙌
@@nickelchlorine2753 That's a whole lot of nothing and also just an alleged anecdote.
Doesn't mean anything.
I think the writers said 'people believe men can give birth, so...black Cleo ?'. Yep fk it.
Truth is not a Left-wing value.
For the Left, if truth gets in the way of the message, then truth needs to take a back seat.
As a former left-winger, agreed 100% (learned it the hard way -- had property destroyed by leftoid rioters without provocation).
Thats politics - the right and the left both push an agenda and twist the truth to "accomplish" that aim.
History should be a record of fact, though that is a bit of an unattainable goal given our records of the past are written by biased sources.
Daamn.. Drinker w/o sunglasses is scary😂😂
Why is UA-cam hiding the complete video from me? I want to watch the complete video, but all I find are small snips.
I know a real Egyptologist, a retired professor emeritus who had written numerous monographs and books on the subject, who told me Cleopatra was Greek -- this was long before this movie came out. He was complaining that some people claimed she was black when clearly she was not. This was years ago.
The guy on the left, was he part of the Charisma on Command channel?
The sad thing is, if they had pictured Cleopatra historically accurate, that role would've still been a strong, amazing woman.
But no, apparently that was not enough. And that's the real BS here. Some people want to define exactly what a strong female is supposed to be and look like.
Absolute hubris.
Well they would have had to start with an 18 year old girl boinking Ceasar so he could help her win the civil war against her brother and murder him. He was a kid by the way. Then she boinked Mark Antony to keep her throne. Etc. Yes, a strong amazing promicuous woman.
Or, like in Star Trek Picard: Absolute F/king Hubris.
It’s so weird seeing the drinker without sunglasses
They couldn't find any famous African women to make a movie about , so they did that.
To be fair, blacks had no writing or narrative art, so no one knows what went on unless non-blacks recorded it.
They did found one. And it's a literal slave trader.
About Cleipatra "Flying around with a jet pack and an Ipad in her hand", a very black "Cleopatra" is a superheroine in Kurt Busiek's Astro City. But I doubt Mr.Busiek ever pretended that his was a historical recreation.
Host is absolutely a male ENFJ
Wtf is that
@@timothygremlin9737 It's a Briggs-Meyer personality type, but I'm not sure how you can tell he's an ENFJ by a seven-minute interview...
@@themulattomaker2602 Who are these people? Briggs Meyer? I'm not joking, no idea.

I had the name backwards, my bad
I keep forgetting that the Critical Drinker has eyes under the sunglasses.
First. :D
The intro was enough to make me switch to something else 😂
"Identity is a cheap substitute for character." - Keri Smith
They might as well have cited the channel 5 series Anne Boleyn as evidence that Fat Henry's wife was black.
the precedent for suing on grounds of "cultural slander" was set by the simpsons in their brazil episode. brazil was portrayed unflatteringly with satire, as you might expect from the simpsons, and brazil sued on the basis of lost tourism revenue. the case was thrown out of US courts on the reasoning that nations cant sue for cultural/tourism damages.
"straight off a Marvel set" absolutely
i hope Egypt some how wins the absolute hell out of that lawsuit.
Hey it's the Charisma guy. Can't belive I hadn't heard about this channel before.
There's a youtuber called History of Everything Podcast. Bless his soul, but he not only watched all of Cleopatra to combat the misinfo but he's doing it with Njinga too (S1 queen).
Annnnddddd they also lied about her.
She was a huge part of the slave trade but they portrayed her as completely anti-slavery and like she was fighting to save slaves. At one point she literally used a slave a chair and then just left them behind as a power move on the Portuguese (which they left out when they covered that part).
The drinker absolutely nails it re the supposed professionals they had being interviewed in it. The way the spoke and twisted information to suit their own clear agendas was jaw dropping. As a person with a formal science education it was pretty sickening.
