Petition to Cancel Cleopatra documentary on Netflix​

The petition to cancel the new documentary was started by Maha Shehata and Aikk Yasser for “falsifying history”. According to the petition’s founders, it was created by Egyptians who felt that Egyptian history was being misrepresented.

“Afrocentrism is a pseudoscience that is pushing a group’s agenda to claim Egypt’s history and rob the actual Egyptians of it. By using false articles and zero evidence, they are still attempting to falsify history,” read the petition’s opening description.

“Cleopatra was born in Alexandria, Egypt in the Ptolemaic dynasty to Greek descent. She was NOT black. This is in no way against black people, and is simply a wake up call to preserve the history and the integrity of the Egyptians and the Greeks.”

“The show is clearly done to complement the Afrocentric movement, which claims to be the owner of the ancient Egyptian civilization, and to consolidate what the movement promotes. Egypt was never black and it was never white, Egypt is just Egypt. There are many great African/black civilizations, but Egypt was/is NOT one of them. Sign the petition to stop the falsification of history!” argue the authors of the petition.

I wonder if Greeks were this angry about casting Achilles and Patrocules as black.

Did black people ruled the world in ancient time?

 

[Paitoo]

This is ridiculous at at least 2 levels. Firstly people actually started a petition to cancel this documentary. Secondly a website which calls itself change.org removes it. It seems they want change only of a particular kind.

People should have the right to critic Entertainment productions and petition against any product on scholarly or moral grounds.

This (change.org) platform is supposed to be neutral and respect all petitions. But removal of the petition against a Netflix production shows otherwise.

Thou shall not challenge American Hollywood Revisionism and Wokism....

Same thing happened with Ms Marvel. It turned a Pakistani super-heroine story into a Muhajir neo-liberal centrist and Indo-centrist story.

I even messaged a couple of my favorite actors on this and told them not to buy it. One was Larry Kenny, who did Lion-O's voice in ThunderCats. He gave me a thumbs up for my message. The other was Eric Walker who did a main character in couple of Star Wars spin-off movies.

Now that same Muhajir neo-liberal woman director is apparently directing the currently upcoming Star Wars trilogy.

But we've seen such stuff before in movies such as Gandhi the 1982 film.

They certainly seem to wish they did.

The Moors were black. Original inhabitants of India were black.

Ethiopians who humiliated white colonial super powers are black too.

OK, maybe went overboard. let me rephrase my sentence. There were actually more black people among the Egyptian elite and population in the past than they admit today.
Just need to do your own research on that to see.

so being the last queen of Ptolemaic Dynasty, she is somehow African black now and the reason, well, they have explained in the documentary...”I remember my grandmother saying to me: I don't care what they tell you in school, Cleopatra was black.”

Might be, but Cleopatra was a Greek.
