Video recordings of him yelling and screaming at his ex-girlfriend and later running after and assaulting her that was shown to everyone during a trial isn’t “substantial” enough for you?

What about the phone calls and text messages that were submitted as evidence during the trial?

What did he do?

Remember a couple years ago, when there was a concerted effort by his publicity team to sell him as a more sensitive action star? He was in touch with his feminine side and all that? I remember an interview to that effect on NPR. Yeah, that all aged well. He was just trying to get ahead of the inevitable shoes…

He sounds like a complete sociopath.

Obviously you haven’t been listening to Majors talk about himself enough.  Otherwise you’d know that Majors is a great man.

“Man, Lovecraft Country was so good. I don’t understand why they would end it after one season.”

Ya’ll, I’m beginning to think this Majors fellow might not be a very good person.

Jesus Christ.

Yeah, everybody knows you’re only black Royalty if you were accepted at Hillman College.

I think there’s a point that is getting missed. White or black skinned doesn’t matter. That she was Greek though, is an important part of the story of that part of Egyptian history. That for hundreds of years, Greek was the official language of Egypt. It’s said that Cleopatra was the only one of the Ptolemic rulers to…

I will just note that there is overlap between Hotep and groups like Black Hebrew Israelites, and big shock antisemitism is an overarching theme.

Probably because they wont get internet clout and controversy from doing that . Basically America had slavery , dealt with the aftermath badly , and now doing distracting things like this casting gets you more glory than trying to dix the actual problems of race they have.

“My grandma used to tell me: ‘I don’t care what they teach you in school... Cleopatra was a weed obsessed grey alien with giant eyes and a ‘take me to your dealer ‘T Shirt.’’”

I feel like this is missing the underlying issue here. Is it okay to portray Cleopatra as black? YES. Are many people expressing concern about historical accuracy here actually by motivated by racism? ALSO YES. But is it okay to suggest she was actually black in a documentary that’s intended on a subliminal level to…

“To ask whether someone was ‘Black’ or ‘white’ is anachronistic and says more about modern political investments than attempting to understand antiquity on its own terms,” she says, arguing that “we continue to have the same conversations decade after decade instead of actually learning more about how the ancient…

In that case, should it even be a matter of such fierce debate if one Black actor portrays Cleopatra after a string of white ones?

It also doesn't matter to her story, frankly class matters more in this example. 

Missing the obvious Memphis, Egypt joke

“Amir in his bedroom in Cairo wrote to me to earnestly appeal that ‘Cleopatra was Greek!’ Oh, Lawd! Why would that be a good thing to you, Amir? You’re Egyptian.”
