That's funny, ngl, but Cleopatra wasn't black? Why is this show even a thing?
We'd be tight if some Nordic mfer made a show about Mansa Musa and cast Henry Cavill as Musa.

He's not a victim. What did he think was going to happen with having all these kids by different women? He probably is a caring father, but there is a limitation to how good you can be when you have a bunch of kids spread out between different homes.
It's overcorrection. White people tried to take Ancient Egypt out of Africa for the longest. Some black scholars proved that Egypt was undoubtedly an African civilization, and at some point was probably a mostly black African civilization. Afrocentrists started pushing the rhetoric that every Ancient Egyptian was black, and the people doing this show probably fell into that trap because they didn't do their research. They were just trying to score diversity brownie points.

How mad can anyone really be about this? I mean people from Chicago have referred to it as Chiraq, so is a comparison with Afganistan really that out of pocket?
At the end of the day, if you live outside of Chicago, the only news you ever really get about Chicago is about the shootings and murders. If that is an unfair portrayals then the problem is really with the news pushing that narrative moreso than the people who have fallen for it.

Bruh, every holiday we get a hundred stories about more shootings happening in Chicago in one weekend than happens in a lot of places all year. I'm not saying people shouldn't do their due diligence before running with narratives, but let's not act like there isn't real shit driving the narrative. Compared to what some people experience in their everyday lives, the shit that goes on in Chicago probably does seem comparable to a war zone even if it's concentrated in select areas.
