There was no Black Cleopatra

A culture-war squall occurred recently over a Netflix series about Cleopatra, who is played by a black actress. The biggest protest came not from ancient historians calling out fake history, but from Egypt, where a lawyer filed a complaint with the public prosecutor alleging that the casting promotes “the Afrocentric thinking . . . which includes slogans and writings aimed at distorting and erasing the Egyptian identity.”

It seems that Egyptians, rightfully proud of their ancient civilization and its Greco-Roman history, don’t appreciate “cultural appropriation” and “stolen legacies”––crimes that “woke” identity-politicians and activists are so quick to caterwaul about––any more than the “woke” Stasi do. I guess like free speech, for the “woke” it’s “cultural appropriation” for me, but not for thee.

and this is the lady scholar who stood up to the lie.

Bernal’s thesis was most famously challenged in the Nineties by Mary Lefkowitz, a classicist at Wellesley College. Her 1992 review of Bernal’s book in the New Republic, “Not Out of Africa”; a book of the same name in 1996; and a collection of essays called Black Athena Revisited published the same year, comprised a devastating dismantling of Bernal’s amateurish research and tendentious arguments––which perforce was also a critical analysis of Afrocentrism and the “stolen legacy” charge.

A year after her essay “Not Out of Africa,” Lefkowitz had publicly challenged Afrocentrism with a bravery few academics can muster. In February 1993 she attended Wellesley’s Martin Luther King, Jr. memorial lecture given by Dr. Yosef ben-Jochannan. As Lefkowitz wrote later, “Posters for the event described Dr. ben-Jochannan as a ‘distinguished Egyptologist,’ and indeed that is how he was introduced by the then President of Wellesley College.”

“But I knew” Lefkowitz, continues, “from my research in Afrocentric literature that he was not what scholars would ordinarily describe as an Egyptologist, that is a scholar of Egyptian language and civilization. Rather, he was an extreme Afrocentrist, author of many books describing how Greek civilization was stolen from Africa, how Aristotle robbed the library of Alexandria, and how the true Jews are Africans like himself.”

The Egyptian Supreme Council of Antiquities (to be precise, Dr. Mostafa Waziri) has accused Netflix of the “falsification of Egyptian history.” They are pushing back, hard, after a new Cleopatra documentary portrays the legendary ruler of ancient Egypt as a black African woman. The Council said this is “blatant historical fallacy”.

According to a press release from Egypt’s Secretary General of the Supreme Council of Antiquities, “Queen Cleopatra had light skin and Hellenistic (Greek) features.” This was in response to Netflix portraying her as a black woman in a new documentary series which will air on 10th May. The Council added that all of the statues of Queen Cleopatra are the best evidence of her true features, and they all confirm “her Macedonian origins”.

Oh no, not that. I always thought Elizabeth Taylor looked great in white face. Further proof she even had a perfume line called "White Diamonds".
In a related note, King Tut married his sister. Kweshun, if they had children what would they have been called? .................King Tutlets.

King Tutlets

Egypt is not happy about their history being revised.

Blacks are fine with the huge mother-of-lies that they know damn well is the huge mother of lies as long as it supports their false history. Not one of them in 50 years has stood up and called out Bernal, a jew, the biggest liar of the 20th century, which is what he is, and this is a deep and far reaching that will persist for a long time, taking down much academia before it's over, and I hope it does. it is truely an abomination.

Thanks, CJ.

It impugns black studies and their "Black Bible" and "profit". Bernal, should be permanently black listed as an author, as an historian and as an academician generally.

You know why none of this has come about? Yes, you do.

Since black academics will not call out this book and its lying author, that is a task that, like emptying the garbage, is left to the average reader.

Sadly, this is some of the most highly acclaimed of "learned" scholarly work by jews. How much more jewish learning amounts to highbrow bullshit? Just because we defended jews in WW2 is not reason to defend them for their lies now obviated ever again. Nowhere are they interested enough to acknowledge this as even a horrible blunder that should be burned for its satanic influence. Fuck em. They obviously don't care whom they hurt with their crap or why.

How many drug stores, clothing stores and public infrastructure have been destroyed in riotous black rage over Bernal's "revelations" contained in this truely deplorable and satanic bullshit?

You can thank  Mary Lefkowitz for her decades of calmly sticking this out and watching it. I'd like to know what her opinion is about now. I hope she gets acclaim that she deserves. It could not have been fun.

It must make Martin Bernal readers furious. I didn't finish it.

From mummy to mammy.
