The producers of this series needed to make a political statement .. very tired of it. An interesting article about the “debate” over Cleopatra’s ethnicity ..
"So, why shoehorn Cleopatra into the "black" category when the great mass of historical knowledge contradicts?"
Because they can. They can get away with inaccuracies. Taking advantage of the current social climate so that, as Peter states, "all good things are black, and all white things are bad". Stepping in to make a profound declaration, no matter whether accurate, proclaiming from on high, the way things need to be construed.
Producer JPSmith undoubtedly feels her time has come, seeing herself as heralding leader of *this is the way*.
“When truths are relative, actual history no longer matters.”
These Leftists are so tiresome.

Wanna make woke heads explode? Point out that slavery ended because old white men of the Enlightenment told the world it was a Bad Thing.
Oh, and great link. I'm going to embed it in the article. Thanks!

Hogwash.
She really does seem to have an arrogance about her, no?
You diagnosed it in your writing. This is as much about gender as it is about nationality.
Farcical. We are becoming a silly nation.
