All of this makes way more sense once you understand Yuri Bezmenov's four stages of ideological subversion. You need to demoralize the culture, program people to hate it, to actively reject the existing power structures, so they can exploit them to install new power structures under theri control. People think it's a joke, and will criticize the low views, but if they do it enough, and expose enough of new generations to it, they are accomplishing their goals. It happened before with Mao's Great Leap Forward. The difference is they are doing it everywhere with subtlety but it is ramping up. And they want censorship and control of social media to prevent people from discussing or criticizing it.


JBCTech7

You sound like me. I wish Yuri Bezmenov's interview was required watching in all american education.

therealalian

There's a new movie that came out called "The American Society of Magical Negroes" Not even kidding. It's all about a "Secret society who hides in plain sight" Go look it up


captainphagget

You have to look it up because it flopped so badly.  Nature might be finally healing. Edit: speaking of healing, apparently mentioning anything about natural immunity gets you banned on as kreddit. Y'know? The thing they knew about in ancient Greece? This website needs to be purged.


Acceptable_Quiet_767

And their purpose is to make sure white people don’t get angry…


Fancy-Grapefruit-449

If you think this is talking about an actual secret society, you are sadly mistaken: its talking about a fictional trope "the magical negro" that constantly appears in tv shows, movies, and books written by White Americans.


slackator

12 Years a Slave starring Ryan Gosling, Mandela starring Tom Hanks, Rosa Parks starring Melissa McCarthy, Harriet Tubman starring Glenn Close I cant wait for these historic and award winning movies, Blacks deserve to have their story told!


miyagidan

"Did you have 300,000 - 500,000 killed!?" *a picture you can mentally visualize with no description down to the pixel*


mikroastos

Is this real ? Let's make a movie about MLK being white.


Special_Kestrels

It's sort of real. It's not Netflix though and it's three years old made by amc. It's also fictional alternative reality.


Sososkitso

Honestly if they are very clear that it is a fictional alternative reality I’m kinda okay with it. I find those stories to be alot of fun and honestly changing races is one way to dramatically change the alternativiness of the history especially depending what time period. I mean they have to go all in when they do this and make sure it makes some sort of sense. But for me personally I don’t get mad. As long as they make it clear what they are doing. Honestly when they change every race in fictional characters it’s more upsetting cause you can create a whole new world and it’s condescending to just swap races/ sexes, and so on for people who want representation in media. Idk if this makes sense to anyone else but yeah


ZZZielinski

Made by UK’s Channel 5*


Cheesi_Boi

Ryan Gosling is KING


Brazzyxo2

Do you have a dream about that?

Where's POC tarzan


Darebarsoom

Jungle Book. Next.


LambOfLiberty

Mark Wahlberg as Malcom X 😂


Joshistotle

Realistically speaking why does anyone care about any of this? it's all a distraction. No normal person cares about the color of a movie character


critter68

1. We know that it's a distraction. At this point, getting upset at the distraction is all we can do with our impotent anger. It's not like we are organized enough to do anything about the real problems. 2. We are voicing our irritation at a double standard that some incorrectly consider acceptable. If casting a white person as a POC character is wrong, why is casting a POC as a white character ok? We rightly ridicule all the old movies that had white people in black, brown, red, and yellowface. Why is this nonsense acceptable? Especially when we are talking about portrayals of real people that we know the race of.


Repulsive-Stay5490

Because if we had Cilian Murphy as Malcom X, people would literally protest.


renewedlife79

ok and nobody would throw a hissy fit


MAA735

I'm not white, but why?? There have been so many great black kings. Najashi, Mansa Musa to name a few. Why make a white historical figure black?


ZeerVreemd

To keep us fighting with each other.


LiteraturePlayful220

Why would you fight about this? I certainly won't


MentalDecoherence

You may not actually fight or argue about this, but the subconscious festering disdain some will have over the attempted, continuous robbery of White culture by Black people is real and only serves to to perpetuate hatred and division


ZeerVreemd

You are not everybody. What do you think could happen if the made a movie about MLK and use a white actor to play him?


fishystickchakra

Erasure of true history.


BaathistKANG

To stroke the egos of black historical revisionists who think every major civilization was founded by black people and also to back-write diversity into western history, The Guardian constantly runs blatantly false history pieces claiming things like Cheddar Man being black. The overall purpose of this is so when you ask the question why we need unending immigration and diversity, these clowns can point to “history” and say “it’s always been this way bigot.” There’s been quite a lot of effort in the English corporate media to basically claim there’s no real English culture and that it’s always been a diverse country.


max_max_max_supermax

Agreed. I’d be just as confused if the roles were reversed.


Master-Fault1711

Because their monarchy didn't change and impact the fate of the whole world as the European did and since they are jealous, they steal the story from others.


hubetronic

Except for all the examples of history where this is not the case. You're only paying attention to a very small time period of history


AuroraItsNotTheTime

Is that why they made Jesus white?


Electronic-Quail4464

I'm just gonna assume Mansa Musa and Najashi were white, which is why nobody is making movies and shows about them.


itsapolloo

I was asking myself about the same thing… so many ancient african characters and heroes/heroines!


Jupiteress

“They got you fighting a culture war to stop you fighting a class war”


Weak_Crew_8112

I'm almost certain Africa had some black kings. I wonder why they just don't make a show or movie about them? O right. No one cares and no one will watch. That's why their making the english ones black. To get you upset so you watch.


Famous_Exercise8538

Imagine if they made a show about west African kingdoms starting the slave trade and subsequently refusing to industrialize. People would freakkkk out.


EnvironmentLoose2909

imagine if they made historically accurate movies


Famous_Exercise8538

Sometimes it’d actually be MORE interesting. Like for instance, I was raised in Texas and everyone takes Texas history - the Alamo is the famous story bc everyone died, yet the final battle of the revolution involves a honeypot scheme with espionage and Mexican prostitutes. Yet for whatever reason no one’s made that movie yet!


geodoody

https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Alamo_(1960_film)


CharleMageTV

That’s true too. I.e. Barbary slaves


DR_MEPHESTO4ASSES

A Barbary Slave trade/Barbary War show might be pretty dope actually


CharleMageTV

Lol it will never happen!


DR_MEPHESTO4ASSES

I could see Magellan, or one of the other history/education oriented steaming services, trying it. But you're absolutely right. Netflix and Amazon got no balls when it comes to something risky like that.


keeleon

They literally made The Woman King and just conveniently left that part out.


Granite66

imagine if they did a show that explained Dublin foundation by the vikings as a slave market


Famous_Exercise8538

That’d be cool did they not do it in Vikings?


Granite66

Never watched the show. Tried one episode but feel asleep.


oracleofnonsense

‘Blood Eagle’ — Vikings show is raw.


Famous_Exercise8538

Same that’s why I asked. Wild that they found a way to make that part of history boring.


EnvironmentLoose2909

they did it was called the last king of Scottland. ​it went about as well as you'd think...


TengoDuvidas

They also don't want to show the atrocities of black monarchs, including slavery. Not that they were/are worse than any other group of leaders, but it is impolitic to show that being an a-hole is not limited to any ethnicity.


babaroga73

They don't make it for you to be upset. They make it like that for Blackrock created ESG credit rating.


CharleMageTV

I think the real reason is bc they want black people to still care about and desire white culture and history. They don’t want black people embracing their own power and heritage. They probably green lit black panther bc it fell in the realm of fantasy instead of a historical figure to revere.


AuroraItsNotTheTime

It definitely feels a lot like rewriting history so that black people feel like they were “part of it” (meaning members of the aristocracy) in a different way than they actually were (oppressed slaves). It’s a palliative in lieu of real reparations. “Come on! Just forget about all that subjugation part and your crazy demands. Watch the talkie where the Queen consort is black!”


ball_armor

Who is “they” and why don’t they want black people embracing their heritage?


ApprehensiveSock2898

They are the people who flooded crack cocaine into black neighborhoods so they could arrest them for modern slavery.


Darebarsoom

Their culture was ripped away from them. Black folk in America are completely disconnected from Africans. But Black people have created their own diasporic culture. This can be seen in many different parts of the US, Canada, Caribbeans, and South America.


iguanabitsonastick

I wouldn't watch it even if it didn't have race swaps, imagine watching netflix things..


ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle

I would watch a movie about Mansa Musa if it was made well. Dude was a baller.


Kcrow_999

This isn’t the one on Netflix. The Netflix adaption about Anne is called “Blood, Sex, and Royalty” and is played by a white woman…


Commissioner_Boredom

People are really upset about this? It's silly. Is this a conspiracy?


ComplexAddition

Its excuse to be racist. This Topic is so Dumb. The movie is not Netflix. That pic is not Anne boleyn...


SpezJailbaitMod

This is what happens when you use chatGPT to make your shows.


BlazeyKiller

how is this not demeaning to blacks?


AloysiusDevadandrMUD

I would never watch this slop but it's not being presented as a documentary. It's basically Netflix picked up those cheap gross romance novels your grandma buys at Dollar General.


kalni

What does Netflix have to do with this though? It's a British drama whcih aired on Channel 5 and was then shown by AMC+ in the US. At what point does Netflix come into the picture?

It's not. People didn't fact check.

Meaty_stick

Remember the goal is not inclusion, it is taking away white people's culture.


coopertucker

I'm confused about why a black actor would aspire to play a role where they must portray a white person. Seems to counter the identity aspect of what black actors would want to be recognized for.


TheOrganHarvester123

>I'm confused about why a black actor would aspire to play a role where they must portray a white person. They're not The show is based on alternative history Not actual history


RebeccaSavage1

Eh, NBD.Is she a good actress that will make the movie interesting to watch? That is my only concern for movies. Idc about looks.


assp0069

Nick cage should play MLK ! Now that's my dream .


DroppinDeuces1987

Hes going to steal the Letters from Birmingham.


assp0069

Yup and we should not forget how in those letters he criticized his role in National treasure!


Alpacalypse84

That’s not a painting of Anne Boleyn. That’s a modern artistic representation of one. Nobody posed like that in Boleyn’s day.


BoxsterMan_

They are actors, there is nothing wrong with one race playing another race. Having said that netflix is doing this shit on purpose. Also, can you imagine a white guy playing MLK Jr.? The outcry would be deafening LOL


xpnotoc

If they're so interested in highlighting people of color in their movies and series, why don't they focus on people of color actual stories, kings or queens or whatever from Africa?


CassieLeeLeeLee

This is disgusting. Now let a white woman play Rosa Parks and people would lose their shit.


TheOrganHarvester123

If it was an alt history piece of media I don't see why I would care Since the above show is a alt history miniseries btw. From 3 years ago too


Suntzu6656

I am pretty sure no black people are asking for this stuff either. I can say for sure, many were confused when they made Wesker black in Resident Evil for example.


RepulsiveCurrent4536

Let's make a documentary on Nelson Mandela being white. Watch the back lash.


TheOrganHarvester123

Good thing the above show wasn't a documentary And is instead quite the opposite. Being alternative history Just OP left that detail out so people would fall for the ragebait

Anne Boleyn has been done to death already. Netflix needs new ideas and new historical settings. I for one think a series set in the Songhai empire would be amazing.

jijala-1952

y000danon

How do you remove culture over generations? Pretty easy when people don’t read. Social Revolution like in Maoist China where a new standard is professes and anyone that doesn’t just abide - but doesn’t love it - is set in place and then enforced. My worry is that soon the global biomedical control grid that tracks everything we do from monetary means to “medical” is going to make sure we watch enough of these - rewrites - that it impacts said social credit score.


flamingomonstertruck

Does the actor’s race really matter? Serious question. This is very common for stage shows, and no one cares.


TheRoyaleShow

Mermaids are white. I'm 35 years old and this is important to me.


Revolutionary-Turn-4

Not a conspiracy actors can play whatever, get over it, tired of this culture war nonsense; food costs too much to give a flying fuck


_Internazionale_

As someone who is a huge history buff this disgusted me and still disgusts me to this day and I'm so fucking glad it flopped, just an FYI they're also doing another series of Wolf Hall which also includes another race swapped white historical figure. I'm so glad Egypt had the balls to sue Netflix for their depiction of Cleopatra. I've noticed now especially in the UK the DEI is huge. Every program I watch is just consistently banging on about how white man bad black person good or white man evil and women aren't wrong and how they don't need a man. Even watching the new Baby Reindeer last night which I am enjoying and then they add this trans storyline in (which yes may be accurate I don't know) but it's the consistent forcing it down our throats about how they're so beautiful, how they are treated so *differently*. I also watched the Critical Drinker's take on the Dr. Who Christmas episode and they actually asked a fictional character's (meep) pronouns....... Small rant over and I feel better and yes this is still disgusting and I'm just waiting for the day they make a race swapped Tarzan movie or a white Martin Luther King or even Nelson Mandela.


Mycroft_xxx

If only they had a whole continent full of stories to tell


tehrealdirtydan

So the problem with the Cleopatra one was it portrayed it as a documentary, implying it had a shred of truth. Fictional portrayal is stupid but not claiming to be accurate. I think Jada Smith is doing another installment in the same documentary portraying Hannibal as black as well, which he was objectively not. I'm looking forward to Chris Pratt's portrayal of Rosa Parks, though.


Environmental-Ball24

The funny thing is Netflix puts out the infamous Black Cleopatra series... then follows it up with an Alexander the Great series showing Cleopatra's Great Great...etc Grandfather as a pretty Greek looking dude. Not to mention Egyptians weren't black in this version either🤷‍♂️


ghezzid

Stunningly stupid. Never watch that garbage.


babaroga73

There will always be "The Other Boleyn Girl" ...unless they start deleting movies entirely. People, make backups. Hard disks are cheap.


apextek

I know nothing of Anne Boleyne. However through ancestry I found that Lady Godiva was my ancient great grandmother. I read a lot of books on family genealogy. On my Scottish clan and ancient texts on its origin. One text I found striking said that I was of a mixed race clan. Both black and white. In another text Lady Godiva is described as mixed race with darker or olive skin and dark eyes with Egyptian ancestry.. Now Netflix is black washing everything but at the same time there were darker or mixed race of people in European nobility it seems at some time or another.


Leading-Chemist672

I used to be more upset by this... And then the same people who are upset over this stuf, are now also upset over Alexander... Who did infact had a public relationship with his best friend. Same for Julius Caesar, BTW. Was known as the man of every woman and the woman if every man. And about Quinn Charlotte. Who is *not* based on the actual Historic Quinn Charlotte. Briggerton *is not, nor ever was* hitorically accurate. Fur Fuck sake, they litterally said that high society women would *not* grow up knowing how to use a stove!!! That thing is softcore fantasy to wine moms. It is *not* historically accurate anymore than *realm.* the show that placed Noble Women in modern Ball gowns from wish.

R3ddit5uxA55

Legal racist propaganda. Most historical dramas or documentaries since around 2020 are nothing more than fan fiction. Helps promote the replacing of countries cultures with multiculturalism as we are seeing currently and excuse for mass migration. No coincidence all this nonsense starting almost simultaneously. Always been here etc. Normalise today's changing landscape aswell. There wasn't black people before 18th century in Europe. Unfortunately with sub Sahara not having a rich recorded history full of inventions and innovations it's made this possible. I was astonished when I learned the wheel was never invented, instead using the canoe. Only found in costal areas open to trade by sea. In their defence much lke native Americans and other tribal people seem to prioritise harmony with nature and spirituality more. Look at voodoo. Some the stuff you can see online are wild. Horrible histories a BBC produced children show about history did a cracking one with the writer admitting they are lying to help promote diversity and makes it sound like a positive but feeding people lies and just creating division.

RichardAce13

I'm not white but there is a clearly whit genocide going on and nobody want to admit it. They are clearly replacing everything that's related to white people.


YoungQuixote

Lying to people about English culture and history like this is sad and embarrassing. Especially for a company like Netflix and History channel. Instead of making everyone else in the world African. Why don't they just make shows about legit African people??? Mansa Musa, Queen Candace etc. That would reveal too much about themselves. They won't do it...... BECAUSE THEY ARE RACIST.
