So the producers are saying black people enslaved black people?

It was black white supremacy, not black on black enslavement. Get with the program. Sheesh.

I think the bud light thing has open some people's eyes and are starting to distance themselves, just a bit, from the full court press of the wokeness train. Not a lot, but you can see people not as willing to potentially take the wrath that bud light is. No one wants to be cancelled by the consumers.

Everyone is taking notice, and a bit nervous as this has never happened before. Conservatives fight back, and stick with it for more than a week...Never....If we could only do that with other things. We would not have to picket, or protest, or burn down cities or kill anyone, and we could force change almost immediately.

WE ARE THE CONSUMERS IN A CONSUMER ECONOMY, which means we are the economy. And as my old boss always said, those who have the gold, make the rules. And we are now finally learning this fact, and so is everyone else.

There's also the "can't win" hypocrisy associated with it.

If only a transgendered asian woman with one leg can play a transgendered asian woman with one leg, how can Cleopatra be played by anyone who is not of Macedonian decent, or at least a modern Egyptian with Macedonian heritage? Are there no actresses with such heritage available? Are they being overlooked due to the current trend of "blackwashing?"

I think people are sick of the inherent contradictions in the rhetoric, and most actors just want to go back to being actors again.

The next switcharoo they do should be making a movie about Malcolm X or Martin Luther King and have the actor be Brad Pitt or someone who looks similar to him. Then, a movie about Shaka Zulu where the entire tribe is White.

Not a single one.  Many will pronounced that way, but none will be spelled that way.  I can't even imagine the different spellings that will be used.

Wait, you're not saying that like Twitter suppressed conservative issues from trending, and the New York Times excludes conservative books from their "best seller list," Netflix is falsely promoting a black movie, are you?

Probably a bridge too far

There really isn’t any question on Cleopatras race historically and even many liberal history  Professors are criticizing this movie from what I hear.
Only the most fringe elements of the left think having a black Cleopatra is ok.

Any serious student of this era laughs at the concept of a black Cleopatra.

Okay, next you'll try to tell me that Julius Caesar wasn't really black either.

I love how the activists try to get past their crappy, boring shows by calling them "docudramas", like peons just can't understand the content like the real elites who make them and are therefore really not qualified to comment or rate them.  More, if the content were even remotely factual and informative, nerdy people would probably give them a better rating just for the education value.

The correct term for this crap is propagandrama, and it's boring, and no one likes it.

Along with the Bud Lite BS, and all the gay and trannies, and the overly portraying the 13% of the population in most newer movies way out of proportion to the ethnic make up of this country.
I feel that marketing personnel people are truly out of touch with reality.
They seem to believe that catering to a very small minority of the consumer base is an effective campaign that's good for their businesses.
It must be due to the liberal indoctrination they received in college.

Modern formula: make an absolute shit movie but use mostly black actors so when it flops you can blame racism.

Funny how racism didn't stop Coming to America, Bad Boys I/II, Friday, Harlem Nights, Boomerang, literally any movie with Denzel, or countless others from being highly successful.  It turns out, moviegoers love black actors when there's not some preachy racism undertone or other bullshit agenda.
