00:00:00.000 let's talk about the blash blackwashing the blash blackwashing of uh queen cleopatra new
00:00:23.240 new netflix show didn't see that coming that's kind of what they do should we play the trailer
00:00:28.620 here first it's not the trailer this is a clip from like the making of the of the thing right here we
00:00:33.820 go i imagine her to have curly hair like me and a similar skin color i remember my grandmother 0.95
00:00:38.860 saying to me i don't care what they tell you in school cleopatra was black she has become an icon
00:00:46.580 i am a god queen of kings her story resonates with every woman
00:00:54.100 so first thing is will they own the inbreeding now also will is that is that okay to wheel that
00:01:04.580 out now that she's like yeah i mean the ptolemy dynasty right it's it's obviously greek actually
00:01:11.720 more detailed macedonian right that's what they used to call themselves uh it began with this guy
00:01:17.420 let me show you here uh the first guy ptolemy once uh the first suitor or sotter however you say that
00:01:24.900 uh he was actually a general one of the most you know kind of prominent generals uh in alexander
00:01:30.940 the great's army right and he's described like blonde blue blue-eyed i think basically uh okay
00:01:36.940 sure there's a little bit of you know removal from ptolemy the first over to uh queen cleopatra which
00:01:43.680 is of the ptolemy dynasty she's actually cleopatra the um let me see here if she the seventh or the 0.58
00:01:48.340 the fifth maybe i forget which one it is but uh so there's a few years but regardless i mean this is
00:01:54.220 they they looked white you can you can even look at some of the uh busts that is out there of her 1.00
00:02:00.080 of how she looks this is one uh famous depiction and i think this is based on like you know uh
00:02:06.320 account basically of of how she was described uh yeah i mean i've been to egypt no egyptian
00:02:12.300 believes that and the egyptians are there today are not the people that uh you know built egypt of
00:02:18.200 course but even they are laughing at this like nobody actually believes that cleopatra was black
00:02:24.660 just these blacks who want to own everything that's not theirs we know who's doing this and why 0.99
00:02:29.120 yes so jada pinkett smith this is will smith's wife and she is incredibly anti-white in fact she had 1.00
00:02:36.880 invited me and jared taylor to come on to her show red table talk i thought that was kind of funny uh
00:02:44.300 yeah so before she did this release cleopatra here she did this other let's go to her twitter and look
00:02:50.860 at she produced this african queens for netflix you notice how anytime i love the blonde hair too by the
00:02:56.980 way anytime it's something for black people they have to be kings and queens 0.99
00:03:01.620 they try to claim uh everyone is in greece was black now too you know they just it just never
00:03:09.640 yeah everything is black and everything's these wakanda type fantasy stories well she also had on
00:03:16.300 her twitter was at the top five queens and she mentioned top five african queens and she mentioned
00:03:22.620 cleopatra in that we'll check it out as a little nod to the series that she was working on with netflix
00:03:27.940 and i'll close with the iconic cleopatra my fifth queen who many know about but don't know her in
00:03:35.680 truth she's been displayed as overtly sexual excessive and corrupt yet she was a strategist 1.00
00:03:43.200 an intellect a commanding force of nature who fought to protect her kingdom and her heritage
00:03:50.060 you may just get the opportunity to and she was black no in the very near future right netflix
00:03:57.940 see yeah and the thing is like this african queen this woman we have we'll play a little clip from 1.00
00:04:04.420 her you know white women with blonde hair trigger me she is so incredibly anti-white like she hates 1.00
00:04:11.280 white people she's admitted it on her show that she struggles with this hatred but yet she's gotten
00:04:17.060 rich from white people the white people that supported will smith will smith had white parents
00:04:22.000 who adopted him and raised him and put him through you know private schools and all that she's buying 0.68
00:04:27.040 all the fine cars and the clothes and capping the teeth you know larping is this white woman while 1.00
00:04:32.600 she's just shitting all over them all the time like check out this clip from her red table talk 1.00
00:04:37.540 because i do have my own biases specifically with blonde women blonde hair on white women just triggers 1.00
00:04:44.420 me you know and i've had to catch myself a specific incident with oh the excuses oh the excuses
00:04:52.440 yeah they both dye their hair blonde isn't amazing but they have all these omissions in this show too
00:04:58.100 of how they struggle like with they've there've been people in their family who have had a white
00:05:03.320 boyfriend or girlfriend or husband and a wife and just allowing that person in and how they've had to
00:05:07.840 struggle and how that white person had to prove themselves and but there she is just talking about
00:05:11.680 how white hair or blonde hair on white people just triggers me and she has all the you know makes 1.00
00:05:17.880 all these other huge claims of this horrible racism that she faces which to me it just all sounds like
00:05:23.780 total bullshit i think we have another one of those clips with someone who had blonde hair absolutely 0.83
00:05:28.460 all throughout my childhood i do remember experiencing being teased by white women in regards to my hair
00:05:37.000 how i look yeah right it's always the hair feeling belittled when i was you know going to do an
00:05:44.720 interview with this blonde woman i thought twice about it i was like i don't know if i i don't know
00:05:49.460 if i want to do that that was my first instinct because of how she looked yeah yeah and i was like
00:05:56.020 we haven't done anything about it that's no different that doesn't give me the right to clump
00:06:03.320 all blonde blonde but she does constantly that all the time she does it all the time anyway more 1.00
00:06:11.120 uh fables here here's uh her interaction with uh let me see where it says north carolina i forget
00:06:16.700 virginia or something like that white police officers so there's another sir i remember going to virginia
00:06:21.160 beach and the white police remember when they had the riots and i was there by myself terrified trying
00:06:27.960 to get back to my hotel and i'll never forget these two white officers i was like i'm just trying to get
00:06:32.740 down the street so i can get to my hotel and they said you better get your nigger bitch ass yeah 1.00
00:06:39.120 right street right now and that's specifically the white male experience look at the mom's like
00:06:46.120 that's the worst thing here in the end we're yeah right i i tell you you know these people they just
00:06:53.360 make they make things up and it's just outrageous so this is the producer behind this new show yeah i mean
00:07:02.040 cleopatra then no one's gonna watch isn't it yeah it's just it's just better to just not
00:07:06.840 not be in the in the same space together you know what i mean yeah it's easier exactly and uh you're
00:07:12.920 not going to beat elizabeth was it elizabeth taylor yeah you're not going to beat that version
00:07:16.060 no no exactly no i mean again greek right so you can tell you know your depictions or whatever but
00:07:21.440 it's just like the out of all the egyptian but it's just because it's fame everyone knows cleopatra so
00:07:27.660 they have to claim her they won't do well of course they've done like nefertiti or someone 1.00
00:07:32.300 like that right but there's like a slew there's like this went on for thousands and thousands of
00:07:36.940 years the the different egyptian dynasties you could pick anybody then you know i mean you get
00:07:41.520 closer to this supposed like what is sudanese dynasty in the b i don't know not saying i buy that but
00:07:47.440 that's you know claim that or something apparently she doesn't know any real african history none of
00:07:53.080 these people seem to because they need to keep stealing stuff that doesn't belong to them there
00:07:57.200 was a petition here on change.org to actually basically stop the show right because obviously
00:08:02.960 there's a lot of greek people here they're upset about this there's other people too i think europeans
00:08:07.160 in general should be upset about this uh i think we can claim most of the egyptian dynasties anyway
00:08:12.080 but okay regardless obviously they removed that it amassed about 85 000 signatures in about two days
00:08:19.660 and immediately was like no we can't have that we got to remove uh the petition because somehow
00:08:24.340 that's uh being racist right so here's the uh uh racist to greeks exactly yeah this petition is
00:08:30.980 available either the url is incorrect it violated our community guidelines or or the starter removed it
00:08:36.720 well i think i think we know uh what happened look there's a bunch of these examples doing this would
00:08:44.140 be as ridiculous as putting black bears to play polar bears you know no one would do that there
00:08:50.180 are some classics we've showed them before uh there's always good right exactly playing obama
00:08:54.640 uh you know i mean anthony hopkins as nelson mandela it goes on and on you can see the the stuff
00:09:00.000 a new one i haven't seen before is this one here's a new netflix uh documentary about hitler
00:09:05.480 yeah i was just thinking about this other day or better yet why can't it be a black trans woman 0.99
00:09:11.560 playing hitler all right can't be transphobic no exactly uh that is true uh this is yeah we've
00:09:18.920 there's some good memes it's not only disney and netflix doing this most of the television
00:09:23.020 and film studios are doing this right now but but virtually all the caucasian characters and it's not
00:09:27.860 that it's just like well relax it's just your movies or a film or whatever historical figures yeah
00:09:32.680 it's about erasing our history that's what it's about uh it's utter destruction and surprisingly
00:09:37.560 elon musk came out and said that it was odd for period pieces to replace white characters
00:09:42.680 uh from the end wokeness account here uh which is good if we can get this guy to talk about
00:09:47.720 replacement on his account that would be pretty good he has uh win him over that would be great
00:09:51.440 35 million followers so that would actually be good i i suspect he's aware of this uh but this guy has
00:09:56.980 so much to lose he has billions and billions and billions can't come out and talk about white 0.99
00:10:02.200 population replacements he's well he could but i mean he's already on dangerous territory but
00:10:07.360 ironically then at the same time if you have billions and billions that is when you can talk
00:10:11.060 about you no one's gonna cancel you i mean they can try and they can probably do a lot of damage but
00:10:15.920 it's not that they're like you you're gonna live well the rest of your life anyway you know kind of
00:10:20.060 thing but it's good to see this um so hopefully he can actually get there
