blonde ( with black roots) .. /s
Revenge for all those white natives in the old Tarzan movies?
The left has always been fond of rewriting history....
I always thought Troy was in present day Turkey, but hey, what do I know? Achilles probably really was an African. (Sarcasm off.)
Good post, I to read The Iliad. [Groan] On propaganda, people in the entertainment business know that even if adults don’t want to watch a show, children will. And their mothers will put them in front of it.
And the women’s studies Chairperson begged the question, “We got ‘em in education, didn’t we, girls?” And now in entertainment, politics, boardrooms and all. Their half-big umbrella strategy succeeded, just as it is probably about to bring economies and nations down with its weight.
Helen of Troy will be played by a transsexual with a New Jersey accent.
Slightly off topic...
The USA Census Bureau actually classifies immigrants from North Africa and the Middle East as “white” unless they request to be classified as Black or Asian.
I’m just wondering if the program meets that quota for same-sex kisses?
Hey, you have at least one black in all commercials, movies, tv shows, game shows, Robin Hood movies, etc., so why not. History don’t mean nuttin’.
Reminds me of a Broadway production, long ago, of ‘How Green Was My Valley’, which depicts a Welch mining town of the 1920’s. Original movie Had Walter Pigeon and Maureen O’Hara. Also introduced Rodney McDowell as a child actor. In the Broadway version, O’Hara’s part was played by Cecily Tyson! It didn’t work, for some reason and the run was short...
And the upcoming Les Miserables miniseries has the French Jauvert inexplicably played by a black actor.
That is interesting but not historical. Recently discovered records indicate that the “Trojan Horse” was actually rabbit-shaped.
I prefer the 1956 epic version, HELEN OF TROY.
Being actors who make their living pretending to be people they are not, I see no problem with a black actor portraying a white man if he is properly made up to look white.
In the past who can forget John Wayne as Genghis Khan or Robert Morley as the Emperor of China. Peter Lore as Mr Moto, and such.
Social engineering
Annie is obviously a little black child.
Dorothy is obviously a black boy.
Hamilton was obviously a black man.
Boys are blond, girls are blonde.
Achilles
don’t care, if the series is done well.
