Poor Frank. Cast adrift by the word "historical".

Amusing particularly to the onlooker because this is the base he is defending.

How it twists.

Here's what you need to accept, Frank, ol' son. Just like the tinted folk are free to hang a Van Gogh, they're free to embody the Bard.

I assure you, most people aren't paying as much attention to melanin content as you.

Ah petulence!

There is absolutely no doubt that McGowan sought advice from aboriginal elders about reaching out to remote communities to advise and warn them of the risks of this disease to be spoken in a vernacular the community would instantly recognise and trust.

If there was a black genetic infusion that long ago in the UK, why do Englishmen still have tiny white dicks?

Jada Pinkett Smith says she blames ‘white supremacists’ for the flop of her new Netflix docudrama series, Queen Cleopatra, which has one the worst audience ratings in U.S. television history.

“…Egyptian lawyer Mahmoud al-Semary filed a complaint with Egypt’s public prosecutor to request that Netflix be blocked in the North African nation due to the promotion of ‘Afrocentric thinking,’ including ‘slogans and writings aimed at distorting and erasing the Egyptian identity.’”

Hollywood doesn’t care about historical accuracy as long as the show is a hit among “woke” audiences.

One reviewer said:

“It is hard to take this ‘documentary’ seriously when there are errors in just about every scene.

“Ancient Egypt existed for three and a half millennia, and the Ptolemaic period of Greek control and its involvement in Roman policies, especially the Roman civil wars is a very specific period.

“For example, no Egyptian was spoken at the court, Greek was spoken.

“But getting costumes wrong, getting basic timelines of battles (like Actium) wrong, placing Cleopatra at events we know she was not present at, mixing up things done by Anthony with those done by Octavian and an unending series of errors just makes this impossible to watch.

“It is clear no experts, or even anyone with a basic knowledge of the history of the time and place was involved, or if they were, their advice was inverted.

“The dialogue is also laughably childish, as is the acting.”

Why is it that black actors can play white characters and that is regaded as great  - but no white actor can play black characters because that would be cultural appropriation, or worse, racial marginalisation of the 'black experience'.

Who are the great black characters of film, drama, literature?

Brad Pitt as Malcolm X.

Dustin Hoffman as Celie Harris in The Color Purple

Daniel Craig in To Sir, With Love, set in a Harlem school.

Margot Robbie as Jedda and Chris Hemsworth in the Chant of Jimmy Blacksmith.
