Main character syndrome is strong on this one. Historically accurate of an adaptation of a fantasy poem!? Moreover the Greeks were not a single racial group, historical and archaeological evidence proves they interacted with and depicted people of diverse skin tone, including those with darker skin, often called "Ethiopians" by the Greeks, which means black people.
Yes, I've seen the posts from a few regarding the Odyssey movie & the casting of a black woman that has eroded their fragility. When lies have been told as truth long enough, they become the standard. The, "they wouldn't buy the bible if they knew Jesus was black," yes and that. I laugh when people say, "in Jesus name this is a Christian country, it's not for foreigners" while referring to black & brown people overlooking that Jesus wasn't white. If he was alive today, they wouldn't want him here either. I often wonder why certain people get agitated when they discover that blacks played a part in history, & refused to acknowledge that part was erased out of history globally. I was in Palma Cathedral in Majorca, Spain over a year ago and I commented on the Cathedral, that it looks like west African architecture & the guide said, "so it should as it was built by the Moors & they were West & North Africans". He went on to say he finds it fascinating when people say the Moors were Arabs, he always correct them & say, although they were Muslims, they were certainly not Arabs, but black Africans. It's the same with Odyssey, some people got their knickers in the twist over the character of Helen of Troy being played by a black woman, Lupita, even though Homer never provided a specific description of Helen's colour. Me wonder if they'd have been happy if a bird played the character seeing that she was supposedly born out of an egg? It's a known fact that the original Greeks weren't white, but melanated, somehow Helen of Troy is supposedly to have had fair skin & blonde hair according to whitewashed versions.
A trillionaire claims to know what it’s like to live a normal everyday existence in the UK & some people believe this diatribe like they believed the South African white genocide. Those who live in fear are easy to manipulate.
This reminds me of a 2002 post-apocalyptic horror film, 28 days later, which was set in Britain, where a handful of survivors had to find sanctuary after a mysterious, incurable virus spreads throughout the United Kingdom. The film had check points gates like that to keep the infected away from the safe zones.
Authoritarian regimes throughout history have always relied on the Enforcer Class, which is a minority of the population that are economically dependent on the survival of that authoritarian regime.
