Black Cleopatra Is Total Fail

Netflix tried to change history by making Cleopatra black. Instead, it made history with the biggest TV fail yet:

Forbes magazine reports the controversial production has not just garnered the lowest audience score in Netflix history on debut, it has essentially the lowest audience score possible on Rotten Tomatoes at one percent.

Liberal viewers have rallied to pull it up to 2%.

Cleopatra was an Egyptian of Macedonian descent. But the “docudrama” Queen Cleopatra sacrifices reality to moonbattery by pretending otherwise.

Director Tina Gharavi may be a clueless fool, but hats off to her for drawing attention to the alarming fact that much of what we think we know about history comes from entertainment. In the past, it would be altered for dramatic purposes. Now it is distorted so as to advance leftist ideology. As George Orwell predicted,

“The past was erased, the erasure was forgotten, the lie became truth.”

It’s nice to know that when Tinseltown gets sufficiently ham-fisted by trying to pass it off as nonfiction, there can be pushback.

Then again, maybe the show is just that awful, irrespective of the black Cleopatra nonsense:

Egypt is not amused:

An Egyptian lawyer has filed a lawsuit against streaming giant Netflix for depicting Pharoh Cleopatra as a Black woman in a new documentary.

Lawyer Mahmoud al-Semary filed the lawsuit with a public prosecutor with the intention of having Netflix banned in Egypt…

Al-Semary claimed that the Netflix documentary distorts Egypt’s history in favor of promoting Afrocentrism.

It would take a CNN level of dishonesty to dispute him.

As frequently happens, the debacle was caused by giving in to woke bullies:

The role of Cleopatra was originally meant to be played by Israeli actress Gal Gadot. However, there was a significant public backlash surrounding the choice, and Netflix was accused of white-washing the historical figure.

“White-washing” is what liberals call it when a Caucasian historical figure is played by someone with pale skin. While the Biden Regime erases us from the future, others erase us from the past.
