Netflix Denzel Washington to play Hannibal, Carthaginian Warrior who attacked Rome atop an Elephant

[AZTG]

No one can be for sure if Hannibal was black, but what is for sure is Hannibal was African.

If we're trying to be historically accurate, then I think Denzel is as good of a choice as some Arab actor. The real Hannibal could have been either.

And man, sheesh. What an important historical event. One of the handful of events where the world as we know it would have been completely different if the outcome was reversed.

Agreed. Thats why I stated in my first post in this thread, he was either black or an Arab brown. He sure as hell wasn't pale.

Yea fam. We in agreement.

Hope they do this movie justice. For a good bit I was obsessed with the Punic Wars and Hannibal. I did so much reading on the topic and watched a ton of videos.

Would love to get a vision of how different the world would be had Carthage won.

This is why history needs to be taught more effectively in school. Considering the Phoenicians were a power in the Mediterranean, there exists a minute possibility that they Hannibal could have been considered white and I only cede that point because Greece was a power in the Mediterranean. Also, Carthage developed into an empire because it began as a trading outpost of the Phoenicians whose originated from the Eastern Coast of the Mediterranean of the Levant. Also, there aren't even any contemporary depictions of Hannibal. Posting a white picture of Hannibal and bitching is like posting a picture of white jesus.

I don't think a twitter account called end wokeness is interested in facts

This. I'm betting Hannibal looked more like a typical North African today, probably a little darker. I doubt he looked like Denzel, but I'm pretty sure he didn't look like whoever the white racists would cast either.

Honestly I feel like Hannibal was a Berber. I don’t know if Berbers and Phonecian look crazy different. I do feel like I’m ancient times it’s way more blurry than today

 

[RandomNegro]

Black men and women have been negatively casted since forever and if they decide to cast us as something other than stereotypes!?! Lol

As much as we get on Twitter Blacks, they act as a great countermeasure to these active ass Nazi pages like the ones onna first page.

Your average person ain’t got the time or energy to debate and joan all day with these ”end the woke” niggas, I certainly don’t but I can see how those strawman tweets and Dhalsim reaches make their way to Johnny/Hasim EveryCac on Reddit and you see the resultant radicalization of Whites en masse.

Them nosering, melanin vibration, ancestor worshiping type niggas are the ones who will fight these battles for the people dem.

So.

Cleopatra wasn't black, nor was she an egyptian.

Im aware and I never said or imply that.
I meant I was expecting the same audience to complain about it and they chose the perfect one that has a lot of controversy Scholars know Hannibal black tho.

Et tu, my nigga

Its always dumb because those idiots do not even know what the term "woke" actually means. Anything that does not put white men as the focal point is woke to them.

I will watch this movie when it drops.

All the racist showed up on twitter to be mad. But it’s funny because The rock played hercules years ago not one of them was whining or crying. It’s even funnier when you realize the white conservatives reposted it on their page to cause an uproar and most of their followers were like “ Cool Denzel as Hannibal seems great I’ll watch it. He’s a legend”. But I wonder would these racist be mad if Vin Diesel’s Hannibal passion project had been greenlight instead.
