This might have been a great campy film in the 70’s with Pam Greer leading a similarly pulchritudinous cast.

Thanks. Movies portraying them are likely to become popular.

And medicine in particular.

Dr Ben Carson. Just saying....

Beyond the slave trade by black Africans, most Americans of all races also seem to have no idea that 1) the Muslim world took massive numbers of African slaves too, 2) far more African slaves were taken to Latin America and the Caribbean than the US, 3) historically slavery was practiced widely throughout the world with all races and most ethnicities effected, and 4) millions of white people were also enslaved by various different nations including especially the Muslim Ottoman Empire.

Additionally, it was largely through the efforts of white Christian societies - and militaries - that it was generally abolished*.

*: I say generally abolished as there is still de facto slavery in some countries even today.

Now that is a flick I might watch!

[Jyotishi]

Yours is the second endorsement of him in this thread.

“Da Homie”........

Can’t make it up because it makes itself up.,,,,,

The Woman King: Yet one more attempt to misgender normal away.

[Tahoe3002]

I just turned off Monday Night Football due to repeated ads for the show. Crapola, more “empowering” women crapola. Might as mend a few socks.

[LadyDoc]

highly imaginative fight scenes showcasing the Agojie’s martial prowess against superior French firearms.

LOL

What I don’t understand is how people did not know about the Dahomey. I heard about it on Paul Harvey’s The Rest of the Story as a child.

[ThanhPhero]

Islandlwana.

Like I said, the occasional, rare case. Few know or care about the hundred X cases of easy victories over natives in every part of the world. If Isandlwanas were common, or typical, there wouldnt have been European Colonial Empires.

But no, by 1910 or so, the peak of European global domination, well, it was just that, global domination. Just a few countries on earth managed to retain independence under native rule. And some of those were otherwise dominated by European settler descendants or European derived mestizos in a European settler milieu, or were client states to European powers. It was a Euro world.

In Africa, only Ethiopia was unconquered. And that was because of another of these rare battles, Adowa.

In Asia, Turkey, Persia (Iran), Afghanistan, China, Siam (Thailand), and Japan (and Korea/Formosa, controlled by Japan). And China and Siam and Persia were substantially dominated by Euro commercial interests.

And thats it.

This along with Wakanda Forever is too much. I’m all black-superheroed out. Enough. I don’t even want to see an Israeli superhero.

On the plus side, I just saw Cannonball Train with Brad Pitt, a comedy parodying action movies, and he had a black supporting character who was hilariously funny. The whole film was a hoot from start to finish. Watch it.

[Rummyfan]

Will do!

Also, the female warriors were massacred. By the French.
